Save the planet, be more geeky.

Posted on January 6, 2008 by Kurtis Holsapple

I know a few agents in the Portland area that are working to save the environment and cut paperwork by using a new service called DocuSign. We can all do our part in 2008 for our planet, and I think that online document signing could be a great first step. The legalities of this have been cleared by those in power at a local KW office here in Oregon, but I would definitely recommend you all to check with your brokerages before starting up a new service, who knows what kind of road bumps there are on the road to the online business world.

About Kurtis Holsapple

Currently I reside in Portland, OR. While not a real estate agent, I work closely with agents on many levels. When I'm not providing in house tech support at a local Keller Williams office, I'm developing web sites or working behind the scenes of PlugMyListing.com. I love computers and new technology, and above it all open source. If you don't know what that is, think of computers with a worldwide support team, no file format conflicts and unlimited options for plugins or upgrades. All for free. No, really, it all exists and has for years.

    Kurtis,

    Thanks for highlighting some of benefits of using eSignature technology to help the environment. As for the legal issues, you can check out http://www.docusign.com/what_we_do/feature_tour/legally_binding_signatures.php to gain a better understanding of the legality of using eSignatures.

    Rob & Kurtis,

    I’ve been trying to get my company to approve the use of Docusign for about 4 months, but have run up against a wall. It appears that our legal department wants someone else to be the Guinea Pig in setting the legal precedent.

    Docusign is great. I think the entire planet should be using it, seriously. It saves time, is easy to use, and creates clean-looking documents.

    I wrote an article on Realtor Magazine’s new blog called “Grow Your Business Using Mobile Marketing” http://narblog1.realtors.org/mvtype/ypn/2008/01/marketing_20_grow_your_busines.html. Of course, Docusign was on the list.
