Before we discuss the role of electronic signature and electronic contract execution in the real estate community, we should understand the ActiveRain community. ActiveRain began nearly six years ago and works very closely with agents and companies to support the home sales process by “Empowering the real estate professional.” In 2006, ActiveRain Real Estate Network launched to provide a free social network and marketing platform for real estate professionals. Since then, ActiveRain has grown to have over 152,000+ members in its network.

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

DocuSign continually innovates our electronic signatures and online contract execution service for real estate and has established 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. One of the many useful features DocuSign provides includes 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 do more deals has brought us to ActiveRain. Please do stop by, say hello and let us know how we can help you.
