Inman Real Estate Connect: Jump Starting the Electronic Signature Conversation With DocuSign

Next week, the first Inman Real Estate Connect Conference of 2010 kicks off in New York! Dave Thorpe, Director of Business Development, Loren Alhadeff, Director of Sales, and An Bui, Social Media Manager for DocuSign, will be in attendance to discuss electronic signature and how you can integrate DocuSign into your real estate business to jump start 2010!

So who ARE we anyhow?

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 forms and document management applications to provide streamlined solutions for Real Estate professionals. These integrations help agents eliminate time consuming activities associated with managing and transporting paper to obtain legally binding signatures.

With these integrations, agents save significant time and expense while electronic signatures make the signing process easier for their clients. Dave also works with a number of Associations on ways to provide members with entry level access to DocuSign as a member benefit.
