The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has selected DocuSign as the official and exclusive provider of electronic signature services to the 1.2 Million members, under the REALTOR Benefits® Program.

As part of the relationship, DocuSign will be working with NAR’s Member Benefits team to promote the advantages of DocuSign throughout their membership and to deliver unique and valuable offers exclusively for NAR members. For the launch of the program, we created a special offer called the “ESIGN Advantage Promotion for REALTORS®” that will be available to all NAR members through December 2009. This new offer provides a special version and pricing of DocuSign that includes all the capabilities of our DocuSign for Real Estate Standard Edition, plus two important features:

• Custom branding which enables real estate professionals to tailor their out-going communications for a more personalized client experience.
• Integration with Real Estate forms applications, including DocuSign’s integration with zipForm® 6, which further streamlines the process.

The cost for the ESIGN Advantage Promotion for REALTORS® will be as low as $13.95 per user/month (annual commitment) or $17.95 per user/month (month-to-month). REALTORS® should sign-up soon before this introductory offer expires at the end of the year!
