California Association of Realtors EXPO DocuSign Attendees Are…

Last Friday, we promised to let you know who else will be available to discuss electronic signature at California Association of Realtors EXPO (CAR). CAR takes place October 6-8, 2009, in San Jose, California.

Dave Thorpe, Director of Business Development and Director of Real Estate Services

Dave is responsible for developing strategic business opportunities in the Real Estate, Contract Management and Credit Union industry segments. Dave also has primary responsibility for DocuSign’s web subscription business and affiliate marketing programs.

Dave works with key partners like zipLogix and LPS Real Estate to develop integrated solutions with their froms and document management applications to provide streamlined solutions for Real Estate professionals. These integrations will help agents eliminate time consuming activities associated with managing and transporting paper to obtain legally binding signatures.

These integrations also save agents significant time and expense while making it easier for their clients. Dave is also working with a number of Associations on ways to provide members with entry level access to DocuSign as a member benefit.

Jim Custer, DocuSign Account Executive

Jim’s role at DocuSign is to identify needs within organizations and help demonstrate the impact e-signature will have in addressing those needs. Drawing from past successes, he can help a company understand what future success may look like for companies that come onboard with DocuSign.

Jim also helps determine the level of commitment that will drive the highest level of success as well as set up new partners’ DocuSign subscriptions.

With real estate, Jim helps organizations, brokerages, and offices that support real estate professionals realize the role DocuSign can play to improve each professional’s business. When all agents in an office use DocuSign, everyone saves time and operational costs decrease. Additional benefits include:

• Secure delivery, receipt and storage of documents
• Improved customer experience due to responsive customer service and instant gratification
• Legally defensible e-sign process, which Ken Moyle will be happy to discuss
• Environmentally friendly

An Bui, DocuSign Social Media

An signs her name on comments, blog posts, and other online activities as “An Bui, DocuSign Social Media” to be clear and transparent that she’s providing information about electronic signature because of her relationship with DocuSign. In addition to writing and moderating the DocuSign blog, An also tweets from @DocuSign, monitors the DocuSign Facebook page, responds to comments on blog posts about electronic signature, and participates on RealTown, ActiveRain, and Trulia.

DocuSign also hosts electronic signature videos on YouTube, participates on discussions on LinkedIn, posts e-sign whitepapers and other materials on Scribd, as well as posts presentations about esignature on Slideshare.

An listens to the online conversations and provides information that real estate professionals are looking for.

Common questions she provides information about may be:

• How-To [use DocuSign in a specific way]. Click for How-To videos
• Do you have any information about FHA and Lender Acceptance?
• Is DocuSign legal?

Of course, you can find out more about the legality of electronic signature in real estate if you attend Ken Moyle’s Tech Tuesday talk, tomorrow at CAR!

Come by the DocuSign CAR EXPO booth to meet Dave Thorpe, Suzanne Alberti, Jim Custer and An Bui and discuss electronic signature, real estate or just say hi!

We’re looking forward to seeing you at CAR!
