A few months ago, Keller Williams released a new software program called E Edge. It recently won the Innovator Award at Inman Connect in San Francisco.
Included in E Edge is Dot Loop. It is similar to Docu-sign in that it does electronic signatures and is part of the package we pay $15.00 a month for.
I'm sticking with Docu-Sign
I started using docu-sign a year ago and have used it to write an offer for a buyer who lived on a sail boat in California, he loved it.
That was my first experience and he loved the fact he didn't have to pull into shore, find a print store and print and then scan or fax back.
Now a year later I use docu-sign for all of my transactions.
I have found that even more "mature adults" have no issue with it.
It is safe, user friendly and saves me so much time.
Dot Loop which is part of the KW E Edge package does not have the profile sheets for listing contracts set up.
So if I list a home for sale in the Ann Arbor Area, I can do it all in Dot Loop but then have to go over and do the profile sheet in Zip forms.
Now who wants to do that?
Not me!
What's the point if you have to send two different documents to my clients.
I told my Assistant that I would not be switching to Dot Loop. It is frustrating as I send the listing contract to my clients, they sign, we go in, print it off, then Robert has to scan it in, upload to Dot-Loop and turn in the Green Sheet.
But, that is what we have to do as all transactions must be entered into Dot Loop to get paid.
Data Bases
Someone one told me that the best data base is the one you use. I feel the same way about Docu-Sign, I use it and love it.
The First
When I first started using docu-sign, I heard a lot of WOW from REALTORS in other Brokerages that weren't using it but found they loved it.
Recently the listing agent was away planning her daughters wedding, and I told her "if you give me your clients emails I will send them the document to sign" so you don't have to worry about it while out of town." She did and the sellers and buyers were both able to put in writing what we had agreed to verbally on the counter offer. Had she not done that it would have been 3 days before it was signed. That is something I was not willing to take a chance on.
SOLD
Count me SOLD on Docu-sign.Even if I have to pay the $19.95 extra on top of Dot Loop, I am sticking with what has worked and gets the job done.

Dot Loop is only one of the features of E Edge and the rest of it is AWESOME!
