Ensure the platform can produce an audit trail and a tamper-evident signed document acceptable for county recording or lender review.
Complete signatures within the timeframe specified in the agreement.

The recorded owner named on title typically signs an Owner Consent Agreement. If the owner is a single person, their signature binds ownership interests; a spouse or co-owner should sign where community property or joint title exists.
An agent with a valid, signed power of attorney may sign on behalf of the owner. Ensure the POA expressly grants authority for real property consents and is dated and recorded if required by state law.
