Suzanne - I'm excited to see you bringing down the barrier to entry with a free trial. I have been using docusign for a year now and have probably saved ten times the cost of the subscription in gas alone. Not to mention all the benfits of clean copies of contracts. I'm finding new ways to use it everyday and it has changed my business and is allowing me to go nearly paperless. Thanks for the amazing product. p.s. did I see you have an option to pay the fee on a yearly basis, instead of monthly, sign me up!!

Hi Eric -thank you for the great testimonial. We love to hear how our customers are using DocuSign to change the game. Paperless processes are certainly the future. And you are correct, you can use DocuSign for so much more than just signing real estate contracts. I use it internally for routing invoices and for documents that I need input on from others. With the collaboration tools I can give them permission to make edits and all the edits are tracked in DocuSign, then routed to each of us to initial our agreement to the changes - it's great! And yes, you are correct, we now have three new payment options. We have the month-to-month and we have two annual commitment options. One is monthly payment on the annual contract which is lower than the regular month to month and the best price out there is the prepaid annual commitment. That gets you the best price overall.

I recently was emailed documents from another realtor that used Docusign - I was so impressed, but the home closed and I moved on, never really looking into it. I will now! Thank you!

Can the product be used with a tablet PC so a contract can be signed with the tablet's pen, or do all documents have to be signed electronically? Thanks, in advance, for your reply.

it is a GREAT service, but, many lenders will not allow docusign docs. for short sales.

I negotiateo short sales for agents, and, many lenders will only now accept original signatures (non-docusign)

Just a heads up for those doing short sales.....

I was wondering about how banks and lenders felt about docusign. I am an agent who works with short sales and reo's. Not for sure if the banks would go for docusign.

I received an offer from a national real estate company that is using a new paperless document. . they wanted me to send it to my client without knowing that they may charge them money to sign and accept the contract. . .I was amazed to know that they are requiring all their agents to use it now.. WOW. . .very intrusive

I don't work for for them. .

I'll stick to docusign!

I love Docusign and so do my clients! Very easy for my clients to execute, even those that are technologically challenged on their computer.

The only downside is I am seeing more and more listings (lender owned - primarily Fannie Mae) state NO ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES - wetsign only. Is there any hope for these lenders seeing the light of use?

In California we have digital ink and it is no comparision to Docusign. I had docusign and it works well. Digital Ink work 1 in 5.

I'm glad to hear that Docusign is working to bring the banks on board. I see them as the only hurdle, clients can be educated about digital signatures.
