Unveiling the Exclusive REALTOR® Edition for the National Association of REALTORS® 1.1 Million Members
As the leading provider of on-demand electronic signature solutions, we’re excited to announce the release of the DocuSign REALTOR® Edition. This exclusive eSignature service is specifically tailored for and available to members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). DocuSign REALTOR® Edition includes a rich feature set with special NAR member-only branding. The release of DocuSign REALTOR® Edition follows NAR’s announcement of DocuSign as the official and exclusive ESIGN provider for its 1.1 million members under the association’s REALTOR Benefits® Program.
This REALTOR® branded version of DocuSign is a direct result of the collaboration between NAR and DocuSign. It is a representation of the power of what good partnerships can bring to the real estate industry and more importantly, reinforces why all real estate professionals benefit from NAR’s REALTOR Benefits® Program. We are looking forward to the future and watching how the increased adoption of DocuSign’s e-signature services will revolutionize the industry. – Bob Goldberg, senior vice president of marketing and business development, commercial services and business specialties for NAR.

Real estate professionals everywhere are discovering the power of DocuSign to accelerate business and increase customer satisfaction in a fiercely competitive market. We anticipate the momentum of new DocuSign subscribers to increase even faster now with NAR’s recommendation and support of the release of our new NAR-endorsed DocuSign REALTOR® Edition. This new, powerful DocuSign offering is specifically tailored for REALTORS® and a definite game-changer for 2010. – Dave Thorpe, business development director at DocuSign.
More than 20,000 real estate professionals have used DocuSign to accelerate their business, with thousands more subscribing each month. DocuSign real estate subscribers achieve higher sales, increase client satisfaction and maintain a competitive edge. Rather than driving across town to get a signature or inconveniencing clients to find a fax machine, real estate professionals use DocuSign to execute agreements with buyers and sellers electronically, eliminating the old process of printing, faxing and waiting for the return fax. As more than 95 percent of home buyers have Internet access, but fewer than 10 percent have fax service in their homes, DocuSign saves agents time and money while providing client convenience. Clients can electronically sign real estate forms using any Web browser, and documents are legally binding, backed by a court-admissible audit trail.
