As with any trend, new innovations and technologies arise. This is a great part of our evolution.

Out of this evolution comes the paperless real estate transaction. Imagine the costs saved if all real estate transactions were conducted paperless. There are very innovative products and applications available that specifically catar to the real estate industry. The companies that grasp this concept and push it, will be the ones to advance.

To name a few of the specific products and applications that make this possible:

Relay – Online File Management – This web based application keeps all of your documents, contacts, and important information and notes all in one central location that can be accessed by any computer any where. It can be shared very easily with your clients, broker, and TC. You have the ability to email and efax these documents around.As well as use digital signatures with docusign (which I’ll get into shortly)

eFax – Online Fax – I’m sure everyone has heard of Efax. There are a few other similar products out there that are similar. But this is a great tool. Faxing is a very productive tool for real estate professionals to send documents back and forth. Users of Efax can enjoy the ease of always being able to access there faxes without having to go to the office. A very powerful and useful tool in any real estate professionals arsonal.

Docusign – Paperless Digital Signature – This is another great tool. Docusign which also caters to real estate is a way to send out documents for signature which can be signed without printing out any paper. Once the recipient receives the file, he/she will sign the document by clicking on the areas marked for signature and when completed the document will be sent automatically to the sender.

Online Winforms/Zipforms – If your still using the desktop version of Winforms/Zipforms act quickly and make the transition to Online Winforms. This application gives the user the ability to access the library of real estate forms for their association online and from any computer. Forms Advisor accompanies the online version of winforms/zipforms. (No more confusion on which forms should be used for a particular transaction) Now every agent has the ability to act as the very experienced agent/broker.
