Lone Wolf and Openn partner to connect the real estate transaction process from offer to close
New integration between platforms from Lone Wolf and Openn brings real estate offer transparency directly into transactions DALLAS, TX and CAMBRIDGE, ON – February 21, 2024 – Lone Wolf Technologies ("Lone Wolf") is thrilled to announce a new integration for Lone Wolf Transactions (TransactionDesk Edition) ("Transactions"): Openn's real estate offer platform. This new integration introduces a new way of receiving and managing offers on properties for Canadian REALTORS® in a way that connects them with the platform that powers their national transaction management member benefit, CREA WEBForms® powered by Transactions, and will empower over 160,000 real estate agents across Canada to provide even better experiences for their clients. Openn joins over 30 technology companies in Lone Wolf Marketplace, a catalog of partner integrations for Transactions that provides real estate professionals across North America with essential add-ons and high-value solutions to improve both their own experiences and the experiences their clients receive. Among the integrations available are critical closing and client services, including rental screening, earnest money deposit, commission advances, disclosures, home warranty, home insurance, moving services, and more. Together with in-house connections to Lone Wolf's CRM, CMA, advertising, and back office solutions, these integrations provide agents and brokers with a complete and completely connected system for every aspect of their real estate business. With this new integration between Transactions and the Openn platform, agents across Canada will be able to import transaction data from their CREA WEBForms® accounts securely into the Openn platform to simplify how they receive and manage offers on their clients' properties. This, combined with the introduction of the Openn platform into Realtor.ca®, will provide both agents and clients with unmatched transparency throughout every stage of a deal, from the moment an offer comes in to the last signature. Additionally, TRESA regulations in effect since December 1, 2023, mandate that agents share specific details about offers among competing buyers at the seller's instruction. In a competitive, multiple-offer situation, where offer details are changing quickly, reporting accurate information can be extremely complicated for the agent. This integration takes care of collating the right information and communicating it to the right people automatically. "At Lone Wolf, we're on a mission to simplify real estate for everyone—and that necessitates collaboration," said Jake Hamilton, Senior Vice President of Strategy at Lone Wolf. "By introducing a simpler way for real estate professionals to receive, share, and manage their offers, we can help ensure our customers have the experience they want and need from the software they use every day—and they can ensure their clients get an above-and-beyond experience that keeps them coming back in the future."

Lone Wolf and PrestoIntelligence Partner to Streamline the Home Inspection Process
Partnership connects real estate’s leading transaction management solutions with AI-driven services platform to simplify the search for a home inspector CAMBRIDGE, ON – September 3, 2019 – Lone Wolf Technologies (“Lone Wolf”), the North American leader in residential real estate technology, and PrestoIntelligence (“Presto”), the new face of proptech, today announced a strategic partnership between their two organizations. This partnership will integrate Lone Wolf’s industry-leading transaction management solutions, zipForm® Plus and TransactionDesk, with Presto’s AI-driven services platform to streamline the home inspection process for real estate agents and consumers. With this integration, real estate agents can invite buyers and sellers to the Presto platform from within their transaction solutions. The Presto platform will engage with the customer to quickly schedule home inspections with the agent’s preferred vendors. If the preferred vendors aren’t available, Presto will make the job available to its local marketplace of over 30,000 certified inspectors across Canada and the U.S. This will streamline the home inspector search for real estate agents and provide them with yet another valuable service to offer home buyers and sellers, all possible through their transaction management system. “We’re thrilled to announce this ground-breaking partnership with PrestoIntelligence, a driving force behind the use of artificial intelligence in real estate,” said Jimmy Kelly, CEO of Lone Wolf. “With this partnership, we’re able to automate the process of finding a home inspector and accelerate the entire transaction experience for millions of real estate consumers and agents across North America.” PrestoIntelligence is an AI-driven real estate services platform. The company’s virtual assistant, EVE™, connects real estate agents and home buyers with certified home inspectors using AI algorithms to accelerate inspection delivery times from 1-3 weeks to same-day delivery. The partnership with Lone Wolf extends this valuable service to 1.4 million agents, 9,000 brokerages, and 20,000 offices in Canada and the U.S. “This is an exciting announcement for PrestoIntelligence and Lone Wolf’s customers,” said Vernand Morency, CEO of PrestoIntelligence. “Presto’s automation of the home inspection and repair estimate process is transformational, offering the convenience of frictionless, tech-driven transactions in the real estate industry—which consumers have come to expect of every industry. Our partnership with Lone Wolf will make property technology truly accessible, and for us, that really makes it a win.”  “This is a huge win for the real estate industry,” said Jason Cheverton, Director of Ecosystem at Lone Wolf. “We’re thrilled to add this incredible platform to our curated technology ecosystem, which now includes best-of-breed solutions for front office, website, CRM, title, moving, and home inspection services.

As Lone Wolf Expands Ecosystem and Broker Solutions, SkySlope Dissolves Partnership
Decision to end partnership comes as Lone Wolf doubles down on brokerage transaction management solutions and real estate technology ecosystem CAMBRIDGE, ON (August 19, 2019) - Lone Wolf Technologies, the North American leader in residential real estate technology, today announced the dissolution of its partnership with transaction management provider, SkySlope. This ends an integration between the SkySlope system and zipForm® Plus, Lone Wolf's transaction management solution provided to over 1.3 million real estate agents in the U.S. as a national member benefit. "It's always a challenge to navigate partnerships with your competitors. We did everything in our power to maintain this mutually beneficial arrangement for our customers. Unfortunately, SkySlope had other ideas," said Jimmy Kelly, CEO of Lone Wolf. "While we are disappointed with SkySlope's decision, we are more committed than ever in our mission to simplify the real estate experience for all. We will continue to partner with other leaders in the technology industry and integrate with their solutions to fulfill this mission." Lone Wolf is the real estate industry's top technology provider, servicing over 1.4 million agents, 20,000 offices, and 1,000 MLSs and Associations in North America. The company integrates with 98% of forms in Canada and the U.S., and more than 125 million forms and 23 million signings are created on their transaction management platforms every year. These platforms, which include zipTMS® Brokerage and TransactionDesk, feature a class-leading and comprehensive set of brokerage transaction management tools, including broker file review, company-wide checklists and templates, broker dashboards, and more. Lone Wolf also offers the industry's only two-way transaction-to-back office integration, Link, which significantly simplifies and accelerates transaction management for real estate agents and brokerages. "It's unfortunate that SkySlope has cancelled our partnership, as a significant number of real estate professionals were using the zipForm® integration to simplify their deals," said Joe Kazzoun, GM of Transaction Management at Lone Wolf. "However, we do offer real estate's most complete transaction management solutions, which offer unrivalled brokerage features, forms coverage, and technology integrations, including the two-way integration with our back office system, brokerWOLF. For the tens of thousands of brokerages in North America who are looking to make their transactions simpler, and don't want to continue paying for two transaction systems, we are here to help." The dissolution of the partnership comes as Lone Wolf expands its ecosystem of market-leading technology solutions. In the past month, Lone Wolf announced that it will integrate its transaction management solutions with Real Estate Webmasters (REW), a leading provider of websites, CRM, and lead generation services. This integration will make it possible to manage a contact from contract to close and create a true lead-to-close experience for a significant number of real estate agents and brokerages. "We're aggressively expanding our ecosystem to include a variety of leading technology providers," said Jason Cheverton, Director of Ecosystem at Lone Wolf. "With this ecosystem in place, Lone Wolf is marching toward an unheralded marketplace for the real estate industry, one that integrates front office, CRM, transaction management, back office and accounting, and ancillary services solutions, and includes many great partners. We look forward to announcing several of these partnerships in the very near future."

Lone Wolf's InstanetForms Listing Upload tops 325,000 Users
CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO (September 5, 2018) – Lone Wolf Technologies, the North American leader in residential real estate software, announced today that with the recent enablement of Listing Upload to several new clients, the technology company's total Listing Upload subscribers has surpassed 325,000. Listing Upload, a key part of Lone Wolf's transaction management solution, TransactionDesk, allows users to enter property information from within InstanetForms, the online forms module, which is then uploaded to an MLS system – creating a listing with the click of a single button and saving real estate professionals a significant amount of time on data entry. To date, over 165,000 listings have been created using the solution, a number that far exceeds any other third-party MLS listing creation tool. The listing creation tool works with multiple MLS platforms and is currently deployed to 25 MLSs. With major deployments in the immediate pipeline, including the Houston Association of REALTORS®, the company expects to reach 350,000 by the end of the fourth quarter, solidifying their position as the leading listing tool provider in the real estate industry. With TransactionDesk, Lone Wolf is leveraging the same technology used in Listing Upload to allow users to send property and transaction data to a brokerage system. Through this paperless platform, agents can walk into a house with an iPad or other tablet, complete a listing agreement and get it electronically signed. They can then open the property information form, walk around the house capturing the property attributes and send the data to their MLS or brokerage with the tap of a button – eliminating the need for redundant data entry. "Over the past few years, there has been a lot of talk in the industry around developing third-party systems and alternate interfaces that send data to an MLS," explains Joe Kazzoun, VP of Product and Business Development. "I am confident that we have the answer with Listing Upload. With 325,000 real estate professionals saving an incredible amount of time with this feature, the proof is in the numbers." About Lone Wolf Technologies Lone Wolf Technologies is the North American leader in residential real estate software, with products in over 10,000 offices across Canada and the U.S. The company offers an ecosystem of technology products, including software for back office, transaction management, front office, and web, as well as professional services and third-party integrations.

DocuSign and RE/MAX Announce Tech Integrations that Save Time and Money
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 28, 2017 -- DocuSign, the global eSignature and Digital Transaction Management (DTM) leader, and RE/MAX LLC, the global real estate franchisor, today announced plans to bring the benefit of digital technology to more than 110,000 broker and agent affiliates around the world. The news comes as part of an ongoing initiative that represents an unprecedented level of integration between DocuSign and the RE/MAX tools used most by brokers and agents. And it follows RE/MAX's announcement in August last year that it would standardize on the DocuSign eSignature platform and Transaction Rooms for Real Estate solution for its broker and agent affiliates. This initiative comprises three key elements: a 'single sign on' integration between DocuSign and the RE/MAX internal portal, MAX/Center, in North America; another integration with RE/MAX's lead-generation engine, LeadStreet – powered by Homes.com – again in North America; and special discounts for all brokers and agents new to the DocuSign platform around the world. Once fully operational, the MAX/Center integration will automatically offer RE/MAX brokers and agents direct log in access to DocuSign Transaction Rooms for Real Estate. This not only simplifies the working experience, it also means brokers and agents work even more efficiently with DocuSign. The LeadStreet integration goes one step further. When agents enter property details or buyer/seller information into LeadStreet, data can flow directly into a DocuSign Transaction Room – eliminating the need to rekey information, and dramatically cutting time and improving accuracy. The special offer for RE/MAX provides brokers a free version of DocuSign Transaction Rooms for Real Estate, and have the option to purchase DocuSign eSignature on behalf of their office at an exclusive, discounted price. Agents get access to DocuSign eSignature for 25% off the retail price. "RE/MAX is dedicated to making agents and brokers successful – and technologies that can efficiently manage the entire real estate transaction and deliver a superior customer experience are key to that," explained Geoff Lewis, President, RE/MAX. "That's why we chose to extend our strategic alliance with DocuSign even further, and offer our affiliates the chance to get started right here at the RE/MAX R4 convention." "Since we signed our strategic alliance agreement in August last year, we've been laser-focused on helping RE/MAX brokers and agents save time, money and hassle," said Georg Gerstenfeld, the VP and GM of real estate solutions at DocuSign. "With a single click, users will be able to create new Transaction Rooms that can be automatically pre-populated with listing and lead data so they don't need to enter it twice. Users will also be able to access their DocuSign Transaction Rooms account directly from MAX/Center, without having to log in multiple times. This will save time for agents and help brokers operate more efficiently. So far, the reception from the RE/MAX brokers in the pilot has been incredible, and we're excited to showcase these solutions at R4." DocuSign has a large booth presence at the RE/MAX R4 international convention. Brokers can have their free DocuSign Transaction Rooms for Real Estate accounts provisioned on the spot. The onsite team will also be able to help agents sign up for DocuSign eSignature and receive their discount. "Using DocuSign's single sign on as part of the pilot project has been a great experience," said James Ellis, Broker Manager of RE/MAX Classic in Mesa, AZ, who took part in the testing. "Signing in through MAX/Center is quick, easy and reliable. Having single sign on is definitely a benefit for my agents. In addition, DocuSign actually cares about making it the best experience possible. With their help, our office was on-boarded quickly and seamlessly. Once this is fully operational, I'd imagine all my agents would want to switch over."

DocuSign to Make eMortgage a Reality with New Platform Enhancements
BOSTON, Oct. 25, 2016 -- At the annual Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) conference and expo here today, DocuSign – the global eSignature and Digital Transaction Management (DTM) leader – announced a series of expanded features that will allow lenders and title companies to complete a mortgage 100% digitally. Known as eMortgage, the new service will empower lenders and their clients to electronically-sign the mortgage paperwork associated with the more than 12 million real estate documents and 2.5 million real estate transactions already DocuSigned every year. The news marks an expansion of DocuSign's 'lead to close' strategy for the real estate industry, first announced by the company's Chairman and CEO Keith Krach in July this year. The strategy entailed DocuSign making its biggest investment in the real estate industry to date. "DocuSign's vision is to make the home buying process fully digital, from lead to close. DocuSign has transformed several aspects of home buying, but enabling a seamless, digital mortgage remained a paper-burdened experience for home buyers and sellers. Today's expanded investments in eNotary demonstrate our commitment to making a completely paperless eMortgage reality," explained Georg Gerstenfeld, general manager: Global Real Estate Solutions, DocuSign. "This is against the backdrop of the real estate industry's widespread adoption of DocuSign, and is helping to add more than 130,000 new users to the DocuSign Global Trust Network every day. eMortgage is a natural next step to simplifying the end-to-end experience." Today's announcement centers around two key areas: eNotary – this enhancement ensures that in-person eNotarizations can now be performed via DocuSign in Florida and Washington (in addition to North Carolina, which has been available since 2014). It is also expected that more than ten other states could be added before the end of the year. With eNotary, there is no need to print, scan or mail closing documents – all actions can be performed within the DocuSign platform, including applying a seal and exporting a notary log. Fannie Mae – reflecting the potential for the DocuSign platform to help speed the adoption of the broader eMortgage process, the company (with eOriginal as a partner) is seeking certification as an official Fannie Mae eMortgage Technology Service Provider – a certification that only a handful of technology organizations have been granted by the mortgage lender. Certification is expected by the end of year. Several of DocuSign's partners and customers have thrown their weight behind today's announcement – including Fannie Mae and Accenture Mortgage Cadence. "Fannie Mae is pleased that DocuSign is undergoing technical compliance testing with us for delivery of eMortgage loans, and is seeking approval to join our eMortgage Technology Service Provider listing," said Cindy McKissock, Vice President of Customer Digital Experience, Fannie Mae. "Supporting our customers' transition to digital closings is a priority for us – and we expect DocuSign's platform to help remove barriers and obstacles to the adoption of eNotes, thereby increasing usage across the industry." For its part, Mortgage Cadence, an Accenture Company – an existing DocuSign partner – is excited about this focus on eMortgages. "Mortgage Cadence is committed to making digital mortgages a reality. Combined with DocuSign's digital mortgage strategy, these additional enhancements align well with our own vision to provide the last lending solution our customers will ever need," said Jim Rosen, Document Center Product Manager at Mortgage Cadence. "Today, lenders and title companies tend to rely on paper or hybrid processes to complete loans," explained DocuSign's Chief Product Officer, Ron Hirson. "We are supporting our Real Estate customers for today's launch by delivering new eNotary and eNote features to our DTM platform – that helps more organizations move to a paperless process that is fully auditable, less prone to errors, and results in faster closings." The enhanced features are slated to come to market towards the end of the year. For more information, visit www.docusign.com.

"xDTM certification provides a verifiable level of assurance for our customers." According to the standard, the eight areas a DTM provider needs to successfully address include: Security – features best-in-class technical protection, highly secure access, and proactive protection policies Assurance – provides assurance that xDTM transactions are compliant with applicable laws Privacy – allows a person or company to reveal information selectively, at their discretion Validity – has a reliable, transparent and verifiable chain of custody, and a digitally signed, tamper-evident audit trail Availability – ensures that transactions are always accessible and obtainable, high performing during periods of peak use, resilient across disaster scenarios, and free of scheduled offline maintenance Scalability – accepts increased volume without impacting performance due to ongoing capacity modeling and proactive lifecycle management Universality – functions across heterogeneous environments/devices and is accessible worldwide Interoperability – works across collaborative services environments and includes integration guidelines and APIs "Achieving compliance is a significant accomplishment for DocuSign," added Davis.

DocuSign Empowers Agents and Brokers to Manage Deals From Listing to Close 100% Digitally
SAN FRANCISCO and SAN DIEGO, November 12, 2015 — NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® ANNUAL CONFERENCE — With 2.7 million real estate transactions closed annually, DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign®) extended its leadership in transaction management and eSignatures with enhancements to its Broker Edition product. New functionality includes a task dashboard, mobile tools, extended zipLogix forms integration, and back-office integration via a new partnership with Lone Wolf —all to simplify transactions and protect data for real estate professionals and their clients. "DocuSign is a trusted partner that brokers and REALTORS® count on every day to protect their data and manage their transactions from listing to close," said Glenn Shimkus, vice president, Global Real Estate Products at DocuSign. "We're delivering the visibility, compliance and control that brokers need, along with access and mobility for agents—all in a highly secure, easy-to-use platform—so real estate professionals can manage and close deals faster to best serve their clients." Updated Broker Edition for Compliance and Visibility Based on extensive customer feedback, DocuSign has made continuous improvements to DocuSign Transaction Rooms, Broker Edition, delivering smooth integration and greater depth of features than other industry offerings. With DocuSign Transaction Rooms, brokers have visibility into all transactions, across all agents, including: Brokerage Management: Users can set up their brokerages with office and administrative team access, enabling support staff to manage transactions on behalf of agents, as needed. Data Integration: The Broker Edition will link transaction data from zipForm, such as list prices, listing expiration dates and seller information to DocuSign Transaction Rooms – all in a secure environment. Compliance: The Broker Edition identifies optional and required tasks and documents, while providing an approval process so managers can approve or decline tasks and documents at key stages in the process. Mobile Convenience via Tablets, Smart Phones and Apple Watch for REALTORS® On the Go With more than 90% of REALTORS® communicating with clients via mobile devices, productivity tools that travel with brokers and agents are a must. DocuSign leads the industry with mobile applications designed natively for each platform, now including Apple Watch, so that the mobile experience is highly responsive, intuitive and secure. Enhancements include: Mobile Tasks: DocuSign's extensive tasks functionality will be accessible via most major mobile devices, enabling users to track to-do's, mark tasks as complete and send reminders directly from their smart phone, tablet and even their Apple Watch. Mobile Signatures: DocuSign enables in-person signing on tablets—with even more information, stronger security, and greater ease-of-use than paper-based signing. Agents can take a picture of the person signing and include a map of where the signing took place, making both part of the transaction history and the legally-enforceable audit trail. Intelligent Task Management DocuSign's Broker Edition now includes a Task dashboard, a powerful new way for brokers to manage their business and customize their team's workflow. Also accessible via the web, the dashboard enables brokers to access a comprehensive list of everything requiring attention, from past-due documents and transaction approvals, to other tasks that don't require paperwork. Task management is simplified via brokerage-created rules and built-in intelligence. For example, if a broker enters a task to ensure buyers complete a home inspection five days prior to a contingency deadline, the system automatically accesses the data from the transaction room and inserts the correct deadline. Time-Saving Integration with Industry Partnerships Lone Wolf: DocuSign is delivering integration with Lone Wolf's brokerWOLF accounting system at no additional charge – minimizing errors and saving time and money on data entry. Unlike other offerings, DocuSign covers the integration cost, eliminating per-transaction fees for brokers. Realogy: DocuSign will be a featured partner for the launch of ZapStore, a platform that brings together, in one simple interface, the applications most used by brokers and agents affiliated with Realogy franchise brands. ZapStore will enable Single Sign On capability and is launching with participating brokerages across Century 21, ERA, and Coldwell Banker. zipLogix: DocuSign has extended its integration with zipLogix, the top real estate forms software. DocuSign's one-of-kind integration with zipForm® into the DocuSign Transaction Room simplifies the transaction process for agents and their clients.

Form Simplicity Adds New Paperless Management Tools for Real Estate Brokers
ORLANDO, FL (Sep 30, 2015)—One of the real estate industry's most popular and advanced paperless transaction solutions, Form Simplicity, has added Broker Transaction Management into its cloud-based platform. Broker Transaction Management creates a single place inside Form Simplicity for real estate brokers to manage, review, approve, track and store every agent's transaction activity from beginning to end. Form Simplicity's new Broker Transaction Management tools allow real estate brokers to reduce their risk through a customizable, automated, paperless review process that helps safeguard brokerage transactions to remain compliant. Brokers may collaborate with agents throughout the transaction review process to ensure accuracy across the streamlined workflow. For office transparency, the new Broker Transaction Management feature also tracks email and text correspondence for every transaction, gives brokers visibility into each agent's transaction activity, and allows brokers to evaluate, comment on and approve all forms digitally submitted by their agents. Eric Forsman, Vice President of Technology Services at Florida Realtors®, says that the development of the Broker Transaction Management features for Form Simplicity was driven by client recommendations. "Form Simplicity was made by Realtors® for Realtors® and was improved upon based on users' feedback," Forsman says. "Form Simplicity truly puts everything in one place that a Broker and agent need to process a paperless transaction from beginning to end." Tom Baker, Regional Sales Manager for The Keyes Company and 2015 Florida Realtors Vice President District 3, who has been beta testing these new features, says, "We are in the process of implementing the Broker Review transaction management platform companywide. We evaluated competitor platforms and made the decision that Form Simplicity was the best solution for transaction management." Among the new features that Broker Transaction Management brings to Form Simplicity is access to the detailed history of each checklist review as well as a fully customizable, color-coded, checklist system that allows Brokers to easily see agent activity by transaction type. The new Broker Review feature allows agents to submit electronically their completed contracts to their broker for final approval. During the digital review process, when brokers or agents add comments, each party is automatically alerted, which expedites the process online. When the broker marks the submission as complete or incomplete, Form Simplicity automatically notifies the agent of the change in status. For easy reference, the review process logs all comments and activities made throughout the workflow. What are the additional costs for Brokers? "Absolutely nothing," says Tricia Stamper, Director of Technology Products at Florida Realtors®. "It's actually better than free, because Brokers gain increased productivity as paperless transaction management makes both the broker and the agent more productive. Plus, there are additional savings from reduced paper copying, both time and the expense, which also makes a positive environmental impact," she adds. Form Simplicity, which is owned by Florida Realtors®, saves agents time with auto-populating smart forms and secure digital signatures; allows agents to share and negotiate transactions with built-in collaboration tools; and provides bank-grade, secured cloud storage of all documents and logs. Used daily by Realtors from Florida to Wyoming, New Jersey to Iowa and Arkansas, Form Simplicity may be used on mobile devices and has an integrated, digital signature solution, speeding up the process of closing transactions. Also included is free tech support provided by the real estate industry's #1 tech support team, Tech Helpline. Tech Helpline is a service owned by Florida Realtors and is known for its friendly, U.S.-based tech analysts. More information about Form Simplicity with Broker Transaction Management is available online at www.formsimplicity.com or by calling 888-784-5404. A video demo is at http://bit.ly/btm-video. About Form Simplicity Form Simplicity serves the real estate industry by providing real estate professionals with an end-to-end, online real estate transaction solution for expediting real estate transactions that eliminates the need for paper transactions.

Zapelo Launches at Real Estate Connect
San Francisco, CA – August 3, 2015 – America's one-million-plus real estate brokers and agents use separate technology systems for email, CRM, lead generation, calendar scheduling and task tracking, document storage, electronic signatures, transaction management, and drip marketing. Zapelo is looking to disrupt real estate technology's silo approach with the industry's first cloud-based, wholly integrated and end-to-end mobile real estate management system. "Zapelo is like taking the right pieces from Gmail, Dropbox, MailChimp, dotloop, REESIO and Top Producer, putting them together and making it affordable for any brokerage," says Jack Berube, CEO of Zapelo. Zapelo is a simple-to-use, fully integrated, mobile real estate management system that offers a CRM, lead generation, transaction management, email, calendar and task tracking, workflow checklists, integrated electronic signatures and shareable document storage – all on the cloud. "It's the first system that truly manages the real estate sales funnel from top-to-bottom," Berube says. "Everyone is paying for technology no one is really using. For the technology you actually use, most brokerages will subscribe to multiple products, log in and out of various systems, and re-enter the same damn data again and again. It's nuts," Berube adds. Zapelo launches tomorrow at Inman Real Estate Connect in San Francisco, and is featured as part of the conference's coveted Startup Alley. Real Estate Connect, the real estate industry's preeminent gathering of the leaders in real estate and technology industries, has launched some of the real estate technology industry's biggest brands. Rhonda Duffy (duffyrealtyofatlanta.com), who is ranked as the number one listing agent in the U.S. and the number one agent in Georgia, calls Zapelo, "The Swiss-Army knife" of real estate technology. "Vendors keep pushing single apps or bloated software with features that agents will never use," Duffy said. "Zapelo has created a 'right-sized' technology to include only the features a broker or team needs to manage their real estate pipeline." "Zapelo has made the complex simple and affordable, which is exactly what agents must have," Duffy adds. "Agents don't have time to sit in a training class to learn every new product and most agents can't afford to pay $30 to $100 a month for a dozen different services. Zapelo solves both of these problems." Zapelo integrated product features: Email system: Full-featured email system leverages your email address (IMAP) throughout all these features and connects email to tasks, schedules, documents, and more. CRM tool: Agents can quickly add prospects and clients to a new marketing campaign; everything is synchronized, time stamped and trackable. Transaction management: A fully collaborative system that allows agents to interact with their clients – no exporting or importing, everything is all on the cloud in this single environment. Lead generation: Leads generated from any source can be automatically imported into the platform. Drip marketing: Fast, easy to use templates to stay-in-touch with prospects and past clients. Calendar and task tracking: Everything agents needs for scheduling their daily routine and track tasks throughout the transaction process to help agents keep on top of their pipeline. Electronic signatures: Fully integrated into the platform and ultra secure, works just like the most popular eSignature systems but is completely integrated, storing everything in one place (for brokerages, Zapelo is designed to work in concert with their current solution in most cases). Document storage and sharing: Features a secure and easy way to securely share documents so your customers don't need to open a third-party account to access their files. "White label" for brokerages: The platform is designed to promote the brokerage's brand, not Zapelo's brand, with a 24-hour "White label" offering to customize the platform to the look and feel of the brokerage's brand. "White label" customized branding includes color scheme, corporate logo, and customized task lists.   Today the Beta version of Zapelo is available to real estate brokerages, teams and agents. Brokerages pay a one-time setup fee, which includes their "White label" customized branding, for $500 and $199 a month. Individual agent accounts are $49 per month, and volume discounts are available for brokerages. Zapelo CEO Berube is also offering MLS firms and Realtor associations their own branded versions of Zapelo to offer their members a new potential source of revenue. About Zapelo Zapelo, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is the real estate industry's first fully-integrated mobile real estate management system. This cloud-based platform features just the right tools active agents need to manage their business, including CRM, lead generation, transaction management, drip marketing, email, calendar and task tracking, workflow checklists, integrated electronic signatures and shareable document storage. Zapelo offers brokerages one system to reduce operating risk, boost efficiency and improve the overall customer experience. Discover Zapelo online at http://www.zapelo.com.

PDF Editing, zipForm® Plus, and More with Latest DocuSign Transaction Rooms Mobile Update
The latest DocuSign Transaction Rooms update takes a big step in that direction as well. There were a handful of abilities you had only in our web app that have now made their way to our mobile apps for Android and iOS. Do more with your PDFs The big one is the ability for you to do more with your PDFs right from your phone or tablet. With this update, you can choose a view that shows thumbnails of every page within a PDF. You can also manipulate your PDFs in a number of ways without leaving the app. Split a PDF into multiple documents or combine several PDFs into a single document. You can also change the page order and rotate pages within the PDF, which is helpful if it scanned in upside down. zipForm® Plus and your tablet If you do a lot of work on your iPad or Android tablet, you might be pleased to hear that DocuSign eSignature tags attached to zipForm® documents carry over to your Transaction Room when you pull them in on your tablet. You can use these pre-tagged forms directly in an envelope by assigning signing roles to people, which can also be done on your tablet. This is in addition to the existing capability of manually assigning tags that show signers exactly where they need to sign or initial. A quick update Your paid DocuSign Transaction Rooms account gives you the ability to send and receive faxes. If this is something you're interested in, you can request a personal fax number from within the app on your smartphone or tablet. A lot of folks still fax, and it comes in pretty handy to have a "fax machine" right at your fingertips. Currently you can send 300 pages outbound per month at no additional charge, with unlimited inbound pages. If you really stop and think about how much more you're doing on your phone these days, it's easy to see why our laptops are collecting dust. The fact is, sometimes you probably feel like you need to be in about eight places at once. While we can't exactly clone you—yet—we can make things that much easier in terms of working on the go.
