Hasn't using zipforms in conjunction with docusign really helped you out in your business? It is such a nice feeling to be able to conduct business on the fly from anywhere. Now wouldn't it be nice to have the capability to have each and every one of your client folders with you at all times. How many times has a client called you on the weekend to ask a question, or another agent needs to get some disclosure from you to write an offer, and you have to drive to the office to get the file so you can help them? It happens all the time!
Information at your fingertips is the name of the game. So add Documanager to your bag of tricks. Documanager is a technology which allows you to store all your files on line. You have access to anything you have in your file bin from anywhere at anytime. The process is simple as well, you can either email your docs to documanager or you can scan them in. Once you have the document in the system it is there forever. In addition you can add updated docs at any time and you will have a record of the old and the new.
You can allow access on certain documents to buyers, sellers, attorney's or whomever may need to have access to them. When an agents calls you for a disclosure document on one of your listings and you happen to be at the beach, you can go online go to your file cabinet and select the document you need and email it to them. It is fast, easy and fun.
If you utilize the three technologies we have spoken about over the past week, Zipforms, Docusing and Documanager you will have all the technology you need to have instant access to all documents whenever you need them. You can have signed sealed and delivered documents in a matter of minutes rather than the hours or days it takes today when you still have to track people down. You will be so much father ahead of your competition that clients will certainly choose you to do business with rather than the competition. As you gain more clients the need for all these technologies increases and you will be able to stay ahead of the demand.
Just think how a listing presentation would go if you were able to get online and demonstrate how proficient you are with the latest and greatest technology which will enhance the service you can give to your clients. Agents in my office have been using these services for a long time and have found they really can do business from anywhere and at anytime! It is critical to the agents success, no matter how much you may want to fight it, technology is the name of the game. Stay ahead of the curve, embrace technology and use it to move your business to the next level, and the next level beyond that.

Docusign
Well now that you have Zipforms up and running, what is the next step to make your job a bit easier? It is really quite simple, next you need to sign up for a program called Docusign. This allows zipforms to integrate with Esignature functionality. Simply put, you fill out your contracts online in zipforms, click on the esign icon in the program and it will transfer your documents to the docusign sight.
You can then place tabs where your clients need to sign and initial the docs, put in your clients email address and presto your docs get sent to your clients. They in turn just need to click on the tabs you have designated and an electronic signature will appear. When they have finished you will get the docs back signed and sealed. Each initial and signature will have a time stamp as well as a verification code assigned. You now have a legal and executed copy of your documents.
In a senario where your sellers are out of town and you find a buyer for the listing, but the buyers are out of town as well. You then fill out the contract, attach the tabs for signature and email to all parties. Within minutes you can have a signed sealed and delivered contract. No matter where your clients are, as long as they can access the internet, you can get your business done.
No need to use your gas driving around to peoples houses, no need for overnight deliveries and the high expenses. No need to wait until people get back from vacation or traveling. From the comfort of your own home you can complete any document you need, have it in hand and ready to go to the next step of the transaction.
It really couldn't be any easier and your clients will be very impressed with your knowledge of technology and how you can use it to make everyones life much more easy. If that isn't fun then what is? Be the expert realtor, use this technology to get more deals and get more buyers and sellers. Remember if you are the agent using these technologies you are the expert, you are the professional. I am sure you will get the best referrals from your clients once you prove your worth to them. Isn't that the name of the game?
In our office we have many agents using this technology and each and everyone of them wonder how they did business without it. I use it on a daily basis for all sorts of business. When I need a signature on any document at all, zipform or any other document, I use docusign to get it completed. Come back at the end of the week to get the next step in making Real estate fun and easy!

A new start
Hello,
Thanks for visiting my blog. I will keep you posted on new ways to make your real estate career running the fun and easy way. While I understand being a top agent is a lot of work and at times can become frustrating, I believe as agents it is our job to do everything possible to make the process run as smoothly as possible. I have seen over the years that a lot of the fun and ease is taken out of the transaction process because of the agents. They start to panic or become unsure, and then the clients feed off the negative energy.
So please come back and visit to find out about all kinds of things. As I find things which are available to help us make things easier and more fun I will post them here on my blog. I encourage you to comment and add ideas of your own. Together we can all get better and enjoy our jobs more and more every day.
Lets work smarter not harder. Lets make the process of buying and selling homes "FUN" and "EASY".
My first tip is to use any and all technology to make your job easier. With zipforms or real fast forms there is no need to hand write contracts. Use electronic forms as it will make your work look much more professional and it will make you stand out in a crowd. Given the choice I think buyers and sellers would much prefer to do business with the most professional agent they can find. Don't present them with hand written documents with cross outs and scribbles. With Zipforms you can email docs to your clients, everyone has email there is no more need to fax things.
come back and find out more technology tips early next week.
