CRM Integration
Two-way integration with popular CRMs synchronizes contacts, updates deal stages automatically, and embeds signing actions inside agent workflows to reduce manual data entry and speed up closings.
Elections under ESIGN and UETA generally make electronic signatures legally enforceable for most real estate documents in the United States when the parties consent and the system reliably records intent and the executed record.
Brokers typically have administrative rights to manage company templates, view all transaction records, assign users to teams, and configure organization-level security settings to align the eSignature workflow with brokerage policies.
Transaction coordinators manage document routing and status, prepare templates with mapped CRM fields, send documents for signature on behalf of agents, and monitor completion to ensure timely closings and accurate recordkeeping.
Two-way integration with popular CRMs synchronizes contacts, updates deal stages automatically, and embeds signing actions inside agent workflows to reduce manual data entry and speed up closings.
Create and manage industry-specific templates for listing agreements, purchase agreements, disclosures, and lease forms that include mapped CRM fields to prefill client data and maintain consistency across transactions.
Support for email verification, SMS codes, knowledge-based authentication, and digital certificates allows requirements to match the risk level of different real estate documents and regulatory expectations.
Comprehensive, tamper-evident audit records capture signer IP, timestamps, actions, and document history to support enforceability and provide a defensible record for closings and disputes.
Batch or Bulk Send lets brokerages distribute the same document to many recipients, automate reminders, and track completion rates to efficiently handle mass disclosures or new client packets.
Full signing flows optimized for mobile devices allow agents and clients to review and sign documents on the go, including support for offline signing setups when connectivity is limited.
Integration with Google Docs and Drive enables agents to prepare agreements in Google Docs, send them to signers directly from the document environment, and save executed PDFs back to Drive while retaining document metadata for search and auditing.
Bi-directional CRM integrations map contact and deal fields into templates, update deal stages on completion, and store executed documents in the CRM record to maintain a single source of truth for client interactions.
Connectors for Dropbox, Box, and other cloud services archive executed documents and attachments to centralized folders, enabling secure backup and easier retrieval for title and legal reviews.
Template libraries support conditional fields and role-based placements, enabling brokerages to standardize agreements, disclosures, and addenda across offices while allowing local customization where required.

Most eSignature workflows work on modern browsers and native mobile apps so agents and clients can sign from phones, tablets, or desktop computers without special equipment.
For in-person signings, a tablet or mobile device with the vendor app is sufficient; for large brokerages consider managed devices, mobile device management, and approved browser lists to maintain consistency and security.
A brokerage sends a purchase agreement prefilled from CRM data to buyers and sellers for signatures using sequential routing
Resulting in shorter closing timelines and clearer records for post-closing audits and dispute resolution.
A property manager uses CRM-linked templates to send lease agreements and renewal notices to tenants with reminders and auto-filled contact information
Leading to improved lease compliance, faster renewals, and consistent document retention.
