The Mouse is Mightier than the Pen
Do you long for the good old days? When everyone had phone numbers like “Pennsylvania 3-5-7″, and Trudy the switchboard operator gave you a cheery greeting as she connected you to Aunt Maude? Or, how about the convenience of paying all of your bills by writing dozens of checks by hand before this crazy “Internet Banking” thing took off? Oh, and do you remember when cigarettes were good for you! I miss Bogie and Bacall puffing away like chimneys in every movie.
Bad news for you nostalgic types: we’re asking you to put down your pens and pick up your mouse!
That’s right. Real-a-Save is the first real estate company to require 100% of its contracts to be signed with digital signatures.
Ok, now don’t pass out. If you really want to sign something with a pen, and then walk over to the fax and dial the number, and then wait for the fax to go through, and then collect your confirmation receipt, and then call me to see if I got the fax…well, we’ll let you. But we’ll also collect a digital signature for our records. And we’d encourage you to cut the chains to your fax machine and kindly put down your pen!
Starting immediately we’re partnering with a company called DocuSign to allow all of our clients to sign their contracts using a digital signature. DocuSign has a secure, intuitive, and 100% legal process for creating digital signatures. Our current Colorado real estate clients already love it. And so will you.
Why are we doing this?
- It’s more convenient for our clients
- It’s more secure. We can limit who gets access to your important documents using this type of technology
- We’re committed to being a green, paperless company
What is it the Bob Dylan said? The times they are a changin’. We think they’re changing for the better.
