DocuSign Joins the RealTown Community

Before we discuss how ESIGN and electronic contract execution fit into real estate, let’s understand the RealTown community. In 1995, those responsible for RealTown submitted their training and publishing plan to the National Association of Realtors, including the plan for a Real Estate Portal for Realtors. Launched in 2007, RealTown provides the real estate community with community tools to forward the vision of the four C’s: Content, Context, Community and Culture. One of the major components of this portal is RealTalk, enabling RealTown members to receive and distribute content via email.

Recently, DocuSign joined RealTown. Why? With so many Realtors and real estate agents as customers, we want to understand the challenges they face. This enables us to provide better service and create useful features. By following discussions on RealTalk, we hope to provide useful insight to help the real estate community where we can, especially regarding electronic signatures and online contract execution.

With real estate specific partnerships with many of the major forms providers such as IRES, Realfast, Reveal Systems (TrueForms), Ziplogix (Zipforms) and Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions, DocuSign continually innovates for real estate. DocuSign’s electronic signature and online contract execution supports signing by multiple people with only one email address, as is the case when a husband and wife share an email address. DocuSign also works with ESRA, the Electronic Signature and Records Association, to establish clarity in policies regarding the use of electronic signature and electronic contract execution.

DocuSign’s commitment to providing an electronic signature and online contract execution tool that helps real estate agents save time, money and close more deals has brought us to RealTown. We hope you stop by, say hello and let us know how we can help you. Please don’t be shy – we’re nice, we promise!
