Contact Library
A centralized address book that stores contact details, common signer roles, and organization affiliations to reduce repetitive data entry across transactions and templates.
Electronic signatures executed with signNow meet U.S. standards under ESIGN and UETA for most real estate agreements; maintain reliable audit trails and signer authentication to support enforceability and recordkeeping.
Administrators manage organization structure, configure templates and permissions, and oversee integrations. They are responsible for onboarding users, enforcing retention policies, and generating compliance reports for broker leadership.
Agents use the contact library and templates to send documents, track signature status, and access completed files. They typically have permission to manage personal contacts and use shared templates without changing organization-wide settings.
