Deeb Realty Embraces Digital Signature Technology

Watch on your mobile device >>

Have you ever stopped to consider just how far we have come in the digital age? What seems to some as only yesterday, for years we were doing a lot more manual work rather than relying on computers and tech for everything. Consider the evolution of cars, for instance. At one time getting from point A to point B was the big thing and here we are today where fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness is of the utmost importance and so many households drive hybrids.

The same holds true for real estate and many of the related transactions. Recently, Deeb Realty engaged in a new service, made available at no cost to all our agents, that allows signatures to be transferred digitally rather than signed by hand and in person. Think about how convenient that is in today’s busy world.

Going from three-copy carbons, to perforated sheets, faxing and printing to even scanning documents for email – the process of signatures and contract signing has come a long way in the past several decades. While some people might say that there is a certain charm to meeting with your clients and obtaining sigs by hand – others would argue that most clients would prefer the most convenient method available. Consider this: with the largest number of buyers ever in the history of our industry turning to the internet and smartphone technology to conduct much of their real estate transactions, why would digital signatures be any different?

Rather than force inefficient and time-consuming age-old ways on our clients of today – why not engage in useful technology that allows them the freedom to conduct their real estate affairs at their own convenience?  For agents the service is invaluable since they can spare time otherwise wasted on chasing clients down to meet in person. For clients the service is a pathway to cleaner, more effective buying or selling processes that ensure satisfaction on all sides of the table.

Meetings in person will still continue and are cornerstone to sealing real estate deals. With the added hassle of signing every little change to a contract or filing any necessary addendums gone from the equation, there is much more time to focus on other more important things. No more of the unreadable faxes or scans, tedious late-evening trips to the office and unneeded delays that could otherwise have been avoided.

Deeb Realty agents are now able to write up a purchase agreement, make changes, add addendums and perform most any other aspect of real estate contracts that involves signing a name. They can do it right from the convenience of their favorite coffee shop, their kitchen table, late at night or early in the morning. Our agents swear by it – clients love it and it joins the rest of our services designed to make the entire business of real estate as efficient and enjoyable as possible while remaining on the cutting edge of technology.
