Negotiated An Offer at a Real Estate Conference in Indy Using Docusign

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Stars Realty

During the first week of October I attended the Real Estate Masters Guild Conference in Indianapolis.  The conference sessions were jam packed with creative ideas, negotiating techniques and we saw some of the best online and print marketing that I have ever seen.  The sessions were so amazing that rarely did anyone leave their seats except during the break that takes place between conference sessions.

While I was attending one of the sessions I received a text message from my team letting me know that we had received an offer on a home that I had recently listed.  I checked my email, opened up the offer on my iPad and I quickly went to work to turn this offer into a digitally signed contract using nothing more than my tablet and Docusign.  I was able to do this without leaving the session, without dialing my phone and without the use of a computer, printer or fax machine.

I love Docusign. As long as folks have internet service it works great. Have a transaction now where one of the parties does not have internet service, lives in another state in a rural area!

Kathy, Thanks for the comment and I agree with you.  Your rural market without internet comment reminds me of a handful of transactions we do each year.  Our team does a lot of business at the Apple Valley Lake and many of the homeowners winter in Florida without internet service so those transactions can take longer to negotiate.  It also makes me appreciate Docusign a lot more!!!

The technology and cloud based systems that are available today can help agents take their business to a much higher level than every before.

The digital signature system is certainly superior to the fax machine and basic pdf files.

We use dot loop which is very similar to what you have.

Docusign is outstanding! We use it to help keep us in compliance with all the new federal regulations in addition to the convenience

Sam, that is really awesome, and it sounds like you have a good grasp on technology. I am just now becoming familiar with Docusign, but so far so good.
