I recently helped a client write an offer for a condominium. The other agent sent me documents that had been signed with e-signatures. It looked very impressive. I was interested in using the service, but was really ignorant as to how it worked, what it cost, and how difficult it was to use.
I called the other agent who told me that she really like it, it was easy to use, and the cost would pay for itself in savings on gas, and my time. I signed up with DocUsign by going to www.docusign.net and for about 18.00 a month was able to download their software. I found it incredibly easy to use, and wish I had signed up for it years ago.
I highly recommend this software for anybody who has multiple transactions, or clients who live out of the area. My clients think very highly of it. Feel free to contact me if you would like anyother information about DocUsign.

We have been using it and it works great. Occassionally a document ends up in spam mail but it makes them easy to track and certainly better copies in the end.
Hi Jim,
Thank you for sharing an informative and helpful article.

I remember when this was talked about 15 years ago. Nice to know the technology is finally here. Thanks for the information! I'm going to pass it on.
Thanks Jim. Unless you know, I will have to call them to see if DocUsign can be used for mortgage brokers (Forms in Calyx Point). I'm not all that thrilled with SureDocs.
Jim - forgot I made the above post. As a follow up, I did call DocUsign today and they confirmed I can use it as a loan officer, and the great news is that it is compatible with multiple browsers, as opposed to the product I was using (SureDocs). Also, DocUsign will allow me to have a copy on both my desktop PC AND my lap top - so I will be signing up for their free trial.
I need to check this out as one of my goals is to go paperless. Thx
We just got esignatures in real estate in Oklahoma. I am comparing the pros and cons. So far the only thing I see that ala mode (sure docs) has that docusign doesn't is the ability to print the documents directly from our transaction desk to suredocs. I don't see that docusign has that, so there is one additional step of printing to our box.net account and then uploading to docusign. The BIG plus that docusign has is there is an app you can use directly from your ipad or iphone. Any other comparisons between the 2 I could be missing? So far I am leaning towards docusign.
