Paperless transactions are now a reality
I have just completed a certification program called e-PRO. This is an approved technology training for today's real estate professionals. I have to say - I am very impressed by the information I have received and lessons learned. I have seen an agent in San Franscisco able to be completely paperless using her laptop/tablet pc for everything - from signing contracts, putting offers, making notes, emailing contracts on the go. Her office is a local coffee shop and she is teting along only a small computer bag. I am not that far behind! As of today, I am launching a paperless transaction technology. Basically, by my clients's permission - the entire process of signing agreements between agent and client, putting and finilizing offers will take minutes instead of hours and days! All done in the secure and completely legal, industry accepted way online. Leaving secure trails and proof of signatures, ability to download signed documents in minutes! One requirenment - email account - at least one per family if more than one person is on the contract and Internet access. If you are searching for a deal in today's foreclosure market you must act fast. Often, the hot property receives multiple offers in the first day on the market. Be the first one there with paperless transaction. If you are concerned with buying a home without properly inspecting it - no worries - there is always a 3-7 days inspection period in which to conduct inspection and upon finding someting unresolvable - ability to get out of the contract (in normal transactions it is called option period).
