Print, Sign, Scan, eMail back ---->Save the planet while sending Offers

[Sergio B.]

After a couple of trips to Office Max to buy ink to print yet another offer, I realized that in my first deal ( I am looking for my second one now) the Realtor was really in tune with technology. I never had to print anything, she was using DocuSign, all electronic and paperless.

In my quest to this second deal I have presented 3 offers , and none of these realtors use it, they will just send me a PDF file to PSS&EB ( see above title). That's a lot of Ink and money for HP !!!

So this is my SIMPLE solution step by step to avoid killing trees somewhere in the planet for the sake of presenting an offer:

1. Scan your signature as a picture ( also your initials )

2. Open the PDF find "Insert Pictures" and insert as requested in the document ( do the same with the initials)

3. Email back to Listing Agent.

You did it!!! There will be more tress to hug tomorrow

Sergio - I continue to be amazed at how many in the business are not tech savvy or even how many MLS listings will not accept electronic signatures.

With that being said, Nitro PDF Reader (free!) has a feature called Quick Sign that will do what you mentioned, i.e. take a scanned image of a signature and initials and let you drop them into a document.

The difference with Quick Sign and just dropping in an image is an image will often obscure part of the document; Quick Sign goes right over the top with a transparent background.

I also use Nitro Reader, you can't beat free!!

Don't always blame the agents. In many states (Colorado is an exception), electronic signatures are NOT considered binding for contract purposes. Don't know the law in Florida.

Docusign Ink is another great app for the IPad. It allows you to sign electronically and then send off via email.
