More than 20,000 real estate professionals have used DocuSign to
accelerate their business, with thousands more subscribing each month.
DocuSign real estate subscribers achieve higher sales, increase client
satisfaction and maintain a competitive edge. Rather than driving across
town to get a signature or inconveniencing clients to find a fax
machine, real estate professionals use DocuSign to execute agreements
with buyers and sellers electronically, eliminating the old process of
printing, faxing and waiting for the return fax. As more than 95 percent
of home buyers have Internet access, but less than 10 percent have fax
service in their homes, DocuSign saves agents time and money while
providing client convenience. Clients can electronically sign real
estate forms using any Web browser, and documents are legally binding,
backed by a court-admissible audit trail.

DocuSign REALTOR Edition is available to NAR
members as a special member benefit. Members receive best-in-class
pricing with a 20 percent savings over standard DocuSign rates on both
