Canadian REALTORS® Going Paperless with Instanet

Ottawa, Ontario – October 28th, 2013 - The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and Instanet Solutions have reached an agreement that will allow its over 106,000 members to marry CREA's online forms directly into Instanet's DocBox™ cloud-based document management application.

Earlier this year, CREA integrated their proprietary WEBForms® platform with Instanet's electronic signature solution known as "Authentisign™." This new collaboration between CREA and Instanet allowed members to seamlessly create real estate forms and contracts, add outside transaction documents, such as surveys, title, and home inspections, all in one unified online system.

In addition to unlimited online document storage, DocBox™ allows members to easily collaborate online with their buyers, sellers and other transaction participants. And, with the existing Authentisign partnership, REALTORS® across Canada will be able to easily distribute any transaction documents to their clients to sign electronically. With DocBox™, Canadian REALTORS® will also receive unlimited toll-free inbound and outbound faxing included at no charge.

"As a national organization, CREA partners with industry leaders to offer powerful tools to our members, allowing them to become more efficient and to better achieve their business objectives," said Marc Lafrance, Director of Product Management and Member Services.

According to Martin Scrocchi, Instanet's President and CEO, "The expanded relationship with CREA allows REALTORS® across Canada to truly go paperless. The new features will have a profound and positive impact on their ability to process deals, completely in the cloud, and close them in a very fast and efficient manner. This will save CREA members hundreds of thousands of dollars. Buyers and sellers will love how easy it is to list and sell real estate. Everyone wins." Scrocchi added, "Our clients in the United States have used DocBox™ and Authentisign™ for many years where it is extremely popular. As a Canadian company we are especially thrilled to be taking this next step in the paperless journey with CREA."
