Electronic signature is a key technology for a paperless office. A real estate agent in Decatur, Georgia noticed that they seemed to have more documents for signature for any given transaction. Each transaction can easily have over 100 pages or more, including listing agreements, disclosures, purchase and sale agreements, counter offers and amendments.

Imagine if all of these documents were printed and faxed back and forth. Paper management and storage is a process that you need to include for your business. Additionally, faxes (and refaxes) can degrade print quality, which can be hard on your clients’ eyes.

Online contract execution is the business process that includes electronic signature that takes your previously paper-intensive contract or document execution process paperless!

In a paper process, you:

·      Prepared the documents

·      Printed them on your printer

·      Faxed them to your client

·      Waited for the return fax

·      Made copies for others who need them

·      Filed the original

If you didn’t fax, you might get into your car and drive over to your client for signature.

Think of all the time that takes. What if your client doesn’t have a fax machine? What if you can’t find your client and you need the signature by the close of business?

·      Online contract execution enables you to take the above process, streamline it, and go paperless!

·      In the online contract execution process, you:

·      Upload documents for signature

·      Create an envelope, addressing it to your signers, CC’ing the other agent.

·      Mark up the documents for signatures and initials

·      Hit send!

Your signers:

·      Receive an email and click the enclosed secure link

·      Access their documents and adopt an electronic signature

·      Apply their signature where you’ve indicated and complete the esigning process

Everyone gets a notification once the digital documents are signed. DocuSign is also so easy to use, our customers have told us stories about their older clients being able to use electronic signature without a problem

You can manage your documents from the DocuSign dashboard or download them and store them on your local machine if you wish. You can also print documents and file them, but why introduce paper and its problems to your paperless process?
