eSignature
Electronic signing with support for typed, drawn, and uploaded signature images plus signer authentication options to help meet legal requirements for real estate agreements.

Team Administrators configure integration settings between signNow and Copper, manage billing and accounts, and set organization-level permissions. They can restrict template editing, define signer authentication policies, and review audit logs to ensure compliance across brokerage operations.
Agents access templates, send documents for signature, and view completed agreements linked to Copper records. Their permissions are typically scoped to create and send transactions but not to change organization templates or billing, preserving administrative control.
