As society — and the real estate industry — is becoming increasingly paperless, obtaining and delivering signatures is a common issue among REALTORS®. Forms, contracts, agreements, waivers ... the list of documents requiring a signature can be seemingly endless throughout an average transaction. And it can become very easy to get buried under a pile of paperwork. Luckily, emails, texts and applications like Dropbox have made it faster and easier (not to mention more environmentally friendly) to exchange all of the necessary paperwork and communications.
Signing documents and obtaining signatures from clients is now easy to do from your mobile device. No more waiting until you can get back to the office to print out or scan a form — simply open and sign (if necessary) or just email the PDF from your smartphone or tablet. Your client can then insert his or her signature, using the same app, and send it right back to you!
