How would you fare in this scenario?

It's 4pm on a Friday. The price of your client's dream home has just been reduced. What was previously out of financial reach is now within their grasp--but only if you act fast. Inventory's been low lately, and an attractive property like this is sure to be snapped up quick. If you submit an offer before the weekend begins, you give your buyers a crucial edge over the competition.

You have one hour. Do you have the tools to get the job done?

Gaining the Competitive Edge

If you don't use a digital signature solution like DocuSign, the answer is probably 'no.' Barring a miracle, it would be impossible to draft an offer, print it out, deliver the documents, collect all necessary signatures, and submit it to the seller--all within sixty minutes. There's too much paper to shuffle, too much driving around and too little time--not only for you, but also for your client. Imagine having to get signatures from a husband and wife working on opposite sides of town!

Electronic signatures eliminate the frenzy by letting you draft documents and electronically send them to all interested parties within minutes. There's no paper to print, and no travel time to worry about. All documents are instantly accessible to you and your buyers, whether you're in the office or they're on a cruise ship with their iPad or smartphone.

That one-hour deadline? You crushed it.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

As beneficial as electronic signatures are to making your clients' dreams of homeownership come true, they're even more advantageous to you in your business. By using a solution like DocuSign, you no longer have to worry about juggling multiple schedules to collect signatures. Gone, too, are the expenses of paper, file storage, and travel associated with traditional pen-and-ink signatures.

You can use the time and money saved in other important areas of your business. Maybe you can finally increase your advertising budget, or put more effort in prospecting. Regardless, you'll have more time to do what you do best--sell houses.
