Northwest Multiple Listing Service Chooses Authentisign™ for Electronic Signatures

Seattle, WA – June 28, 2011 – Instanet Solutions announced today that Authentisign™, an integrated digital signature platform, has been selected by Northwest Multiple Listing Service as its ESIGN product-of-choice.  Northwest MLS is one of the nation’s largest MLSs servicing more than 22,000 real estate brokers in Washington state.

“The opportunity to serve Northwest MLS and its members is a privilege” said Martin Scrocchi, Instanet’s President & CEO.  “They have an industry-wide reputation as a technology innovator, and many other MLSs around the country look to Northwest MLS for leadership in choosing and implementing advanced technologies.  We feel great about having been selected as their vendor and business partner.”

Tom Hurdelbrink, Northwest MLS’s President & CEO added, “Authentisign will enable our members to provide their clients with a secure and efficient method for electronically executing contract documents. Authentisign will be tightly integrated with our existing forms platform, making it easy for our members to facilitate paperless transactions.  Instanet has been a very flexible partner helping Northwest MLS to foster its culture of innovation.”

Northwest MLS plans to implement the Authentisign service beginning fall 2011.  Users will pay a nominal monthly fee.

More than 10 years ago, the ESIGN law was enacted when U.S. President Clinton signed the E-Signature bill giving the same legal validity to an electronic signature as a signature in pen and ink.  As real estate brokers and consumers become increasingly comfortable with the security and authenticity of electronic signatures, MLSs and Associations are rapidly embracing this technology.
