Electronic Signatures

USING ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES IN REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

C.A.R. has released a new legal memorandum, "Electronic Signatures and Records in Real Estate Transactions," to help REALTORS® navigate electronic signatures and records laws. While both federal and state laws now largely permit electronic signatures and records in real estate transactions, REALTORS® should be aware of important legal considerations prior to incorporating electronic signatures and records into transactions. While most residential resale transaction documents may be signed electronically, some types of documents may raise questions of validity if signed electronically. WINForms®, the high-performance tool that allows REALTORS® to quickly and easily create, edit, and complete the forms required for any transaction, now offers an electronic signature feature.  Click here to view the legal memorandum.
