Volumes of real estate forms, including lengthy disclosures, are pre-tagged for quick electronic sending and signing. Real estate professionals click the DocuSign button and clients receive an email notification, adopt an e-signature and complete the forms in minutes. Plus, with DocuSign, the e-signing process is even easier and faster with DocuSign's Designed for Mobile capabilities, which provides clients the ability to sign anytime and anywhere from any mobile device including Apple® iPhone® or iPad®, RIM® BlackBerry®, Google® AndroidTM and Windows Mobile®. Using zipLogix and DocuSign offers a competitive advantage over slow, traditional printing, faxing and ink signing methods.

Pre-Tagged Forms Library provide an advantage to zipForm® users: signatures are automatically inserted into real estate forms on the correct signature lines to coincide with their role in the sales process. As shown in Figure 2, Seller Two is aligned with the Seller Two signature line. Signers and tabs are color coordinated to provide clearly defined correct signature placement of all signing roles in the transaction.

zipLogix will offer pre-tagged real estate forms for 41 states. Initial rollout of zipForm® 6 will include the integration of DocuSign and the pre-tagged forms library for the states of Arizona, California, Texas and Georgia. Dave Thorpe, business development director at DocuSign, shares his thoughts on our partnership with zipLogix:

By accelerating the signing process, DocuSign provides a competitive advantage to close deals faster. DocuSign saves real estate professionals hours of time and provides their clients with anywhere, anytime e-signing convenience. This partnership between DocuSign and zipLogix offers a significant game changing tool for real estate professionals to succeed in a volatile market.

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 less 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 comprehensive audit trail.
