HUD E signature and SAGE Acquisitions, whats the point?!

[Mike Nelson]

So I was excited to here HUD was moving to an E signature type format for getting contracts accepted. Supposedly you are able to do everything by uploaded documentation online at the hud homestore and there is no need to run around like a chicken with you head cut off trying to get signatures from brokers, buyers, title companies space 20+ miles apart in some of the country's most dangerous traffic only to hope everyone is available in this time frame and overnight documentation within 2 business days. WELL it appears with Sage you are STILL required to do this ALONG with the new E signature process. What is the point of this?! The listing agent claims they still need we signature contract documentation 2 days after notice of bid acceptance. Is he wrong?! what is going no here..... thought the ridiculous over bureaucratic process was suppose to be simplified. Any hud agents have any insight? Thank you!
