Landing Real Estate Deals with DocuSign eSignature Solution

DocuSign Electronic Signature Service Helps Nancy Alert and Associates Quickly and Securely Close Deals for Globetrotting Clients

Did you know... Nancy Alert and Associates uses DocuSign's eSign services to accelerate the signing process for real estate documents? DocuSign expedites the average turnaround of real estate documents from days to minutes—even for clients travelling overseas. Metro D.C.‐based, Nancy Alert also leverages DocuSign's speed and security as a competitive differentiator in a quickly changing real estate market.

Alert first discovered DocuSign while attending a National Association of REALTORS® e‐PRO® course. Alert was increasingly frustrated with faxing real estate documents overseas to her nomadic business clientele. She also had concerns regarding identity theft when faxing sensitive client financial information to and from unknown fax machines in foreign lands. Alert researched eSign providers and chose DocuSign.

Using DocuSign Electronic Signature Gets Alert and Her Clients First to the Finish

After DocuSigning for the first time, Alert was hooked. Working with a buyer on business in Egypt, Alert was able to electronically send the documents for e‐signature. Her client received a DocuSign email notification, quickly adopted an electronic signature and signed the documents online in minutes, not days. The offer was the first received and accepted immediately by the seller. Using DocuSign to be the “first to the finish line” has proven successful for Alert and her clients—both locally and abroad, giving her the competitive advantage of speed—even with overseas clients.

DocuSign is fast and easy for my clients to use—eliminating faxing headaches and no more worries
about safeguarding client information. I tell my clients not to worry. Within minutes, the documents are signed and returned. It's not unusual for me to close a great deal in hours with DocuSign—even on a Saturday night! DocuSign has it all—there's no turning back. - Nancy Alert, Nancy Alert and Associates
