MLSListings Selects DocuSign to Deliver e-signature Solutions

 


 
Electronic signatures help speed up transaction process for local homebuyers and sellers
 
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (August 9, 2011) -- MLSListings, Inc. (MLSListings) today announced the launch of its latest business-building PERKS product, DocuSign, the world’s most trusted electronic signature network. Many can now save time and money by utilizing DocuSign’s eSignature solution, which eradicates slow, costly paper transactions.
 
MLSListings has partnered with DocuSign, the industry standard and leader in electronic signature, to provide agents and brokers with an opportunity to close more real estate deals faster and easier, to securely send, sign, track, and store essential documents electronically and to enhance client satisfaction with speedy transactions. To date, more than 4 million real estate transactions have been DocuSigned.
 
“Dozens of documents are required for each real estate transaction, such as preliminary title reports, disclosures, inspection reports, and offers and counter-offers,” said Jim Harrison, president and CEO of MLSListings. “The real estate industry as a whole is moving towards an increasing reliance on electronic communication of these documents. At MLSListings, we’re pleased to provide our agents and brokers with the world’s most trusted e-signature network to help further enable them to conduct business transactions rapidly online—anytime, anyplace.”
 
Using DocuSign, MLSListings subscribers can entirely replace many required transaction documents with a fast, efficient electronic signature solution. DocuSign is also available on any Internet-connected device, including iPads, iPhones, BlackBerries, Windows Mobile and Android devices.
 
The DocuSign Global Network and eSignature solution is legally-binding following the United States Federal ESIGN Act of 2000, and its cloud-based electronic signature solution meets the requirements of various countries around the world. Each transaction is unique; while most documents can be completed using DocuSign, certain documents may still require ‘wet’ signatures. In addition, consent of the parties is required in order for e-signatures to be applied in the transaction process. The California Association of REALTORS® provides legal guidance and lists of e-signature-approved documents for its members at www.car.org.
