My "ME" Agreement for my Business in 2014
Recently, I had a transaction and I used digital signatures for every page of the contract except for a few disclosures where the seller had to check boxes and write in comments. At the end of the transaction, the client left and went to China and had to send me back 2 pages and suprisingly it worked just fine. It was a wonderful experience and very simple for the client. The other agent and his client also used digital signatures and it went extremely smoothly.
Now, it the past, I have used digital signatures and the lady had problems getting it large enough so the system is much better as well.

y the end of the transaction, I was having fun creating the documents, adding the initials ad signature areas and was pleased when it was returned. Yes, this worked really well and I have decided to try to get all my clients to use digital signatures. I have a couple of banks who I do short sales with and they do not allow it but many do like Bank of America. I heard that Wells Fargo is considering using them soon. That would be great.
CAR, California Assoc. of Realtors have webinars several times a month and I recently took two separate digital signature classes to refresh myself and was surprised when they said that less than 5% of CA Realtors use digital signatures. Wow, that surprised me. This is the way of the future and so easy to set up and initiate to clients and other agents.
So my 'Me Contract' is to try to use digital signatures on all my transactions. I have written my goals down on my bulletin board so every day I am going to look at the note. This process made my transaction so easy and less stressful. I find that many clients have trouble scanning documents to this is a great alternative for them.
Happy Holidays and if you have not tried digital signatures, try it out and I think you will like it. It will make you more green as you will save you ink, paper, gasoline and a lot of stress. Which route are you going to take in 2014?
