Typical users in real estate workflows

Listing agent

Handles client communication and prepares listing-specific documents. Uses CRM integrations to auto-fill seller and property details, sends documents for signature, and tracks completion to progress transactions efficiently from offer to close.

Transaction coordinator

Manages back-office tasks across multiple deals, monitors signature statuses, enforces document retention policies, and coordinates with title and escrow partners to ensure timely, compliant closings.

Core features that streamline real estate signature workflows

Key features address common transaction needs: reusable templates, CRM field mapping, signer authentication, audit trails, bulk sending for multiple transactions, and API access for advanced automation.

Templates

Create and store customized listing agreements, disclosures, and lease forms with mapped CRM fields to auto-populate client and property details during each transaction.

Field mapping

Link CRM contact and property fields to document placeholders so agreements populate automatically, reducing data entry errors and keeping records consistent across systems.

Signer authentication

Use email verification, access codes, SMS codes, or knowledge-based checks to confirm signer identity according to transaction risk and broker policies.

Audit trail

Maintain a tamper-evident log of actions with timestamps, IP addresses, and signer events to support compliance and dispute resolution for real estate deals.

Bulk Send

Dispatch identical documents to multiple recipients or agents simultaneously, tracking individual completion and reducing repetitive setup for standardized forms.

API access

Real estate scenarios where eSignatures add value

Typical use cases include listing agreements, buyer offers, lease signings, and closing disclosures where speed and recorded consent matter.

Listing Agreement

A listing agent generates a broker agreement from CRM template populated with seller and property data.

  • The agreement includes signature and date fields for all parties.
  • The agent requests signatures via email with authentication.

Resulting in a signed contract saved to the CRM and tracked for commission and marketing tasks.

Lease Renewal

A property manager prepares a lease renewal with updated rent and term using a saved template.

  • Tenant contact and unit data are merged from the management database.
  • The manager sends a secure signature request with an access code.

Leading to an executed lease amendment stored in the tenant file and instant accounting updates.
