How Electronic Signatures Help Our Servicemen and Servicewomen

We hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start to summer. In addition to appreciating everyone who has served our country, I also thought about how electronic signature has helped numerous people, including servicemen and servicewomen, get the documents they need securely signed, delivered and stored.

One such story comes from the Karen Decker Group, in Virginia Beach:

DocuSign helped a young sailor in Bahrain buy her first home!

As an agent in Virginia Beach I work frequently with military buyers, primarily those in the Navy. I love helping our service members, being the mom of a sailor myself, and when I saw the tell-tale 'navy.mil' e-mail address I responded quickly to Meghan B.'s request for help with buying her first home.

After a few emails I learned that Meghan was a young, single mother stationed in Bahrain, eager to buy a home upon her return and rejoin her 3 year old little girl. My partner Lauren and I were eager to help in every way. I noticed the DocuSign information on our MLS site and thought this might be beneficial for Meghan and our other military clients.

It worked so great I now use it with all my clients; they love the convenience of not having to use faxes/printers. I raved about DocuSign so much my broker had me do a demonstration to all the agents in our office. All were impressed and I understand some have signed up for DocuSign as well.

And as for Meghan, DocuSign continued to prove beneficial to closing her transaction. Upon her return she quickly found a house she loved, but also had a few days leave and of course wanted to spend it visiting her daughter, but there were numerous documents, which needed to be completed. With the help of DocuSign all necessary files were easily signed and transmitted to the lender and the closing agent while Meghan spent time with family in North Carolina.

We love seeing and sharing these types of stories! For more information about how electronic signature from DocuSign has provided a positive impact to our customers, take a look at our electronic signature case studies or sign up for a eSign demo or a thirty day free eSignature trial!
