RentSpree Launches PRO, a New Plan Designed to Support Agents in a Challenging Market
The Premium Subscription Service Offers Rental Transaction and Marketing Tools for the Modern Real Estate Professional LOS ANGELES, April 4, 2023 -- RentSpree, the industry's premier end-to-end rental management software provider, today announced the release of its brand new subscription service, RentSpree PRO. PRO bundles transaction and marketing tools for agents that help streamline the entire rental process. With existing home sales continuing to fall in a rising interest rate environment, the focus has shifted to the rental market and these new tools support its steep increase in competition. PRO combines existing transactional capabilities in RentSpree's offering, such as RentSpree's award-winning online rental application and tenant screening, with brand new tools to ensure RentSpree is a one stop shop for agents and their rental clients alike. "We are constantly pushing ourselves to develop better solutions within the rental process to cut down on wasted time and other pain points," said Michael Lucarelli, CEO of RentSpree. "We've been diligently working on PRO to up our ability to specifically support agents as they advance their rental process." He added, "PRO will exponentially increase agent efficiency in dealing with rentals, with the ultimate goal of increasing each agent's return on investment." New tools on PRO will give agents the opportunity to exponentially level-up their business. These tools include: Document Upload: This feature seamlessly collects necessary documents from rental applicants within one singular platform, eliminating the need to move between multiple solutions to complete a rental transaction. It ensures that transactions are closed faster with less friction. Reference Checks: Automated reference checks help streamline outreach to potential references. It speeds up the process and assists agents in finding the right applicant for a rental. E-Sign Documents: The rental/lease agreement stage is one of the most important, tedious and drawn-out procedures of the rental transaction process. PRO alleviates the need for agents and landlords to perform manual tasks like sending lease agreements via print, scan, email, or other tools outside of their current solution. It helps execute and securely store lease agreements smoothly. Agent Reviews: A high volume of positive reviews from past clients can be displayed and easily shared with an agent's network. Agents will be able to prompt their clients to leave a review, which can be seen by anybody that visits the profile page. The reviews an agent collects can be shared via social media to promote their service and profile on RentSpree. Custom Link for your Agent Profile Page: Agent Profiles can help generate an online presence and create professional branding opportunities that can increase the likelihood of attracting more business. This feature offers another opportunity for agents to further build on their professional brand with the ability to modify the slug in their Agent Profile Page's URL, offering increased link trust and discoverability of their services. Since these pages are indexable, Google can surface if someone were to be researching a particular agent. "RentSpree PRO helps me keep all my listings, applications, and supporting documents in one place," said Juan Caba with Velez Realty Corp. "It saves me time vetting the best tenants for my clients and helps me build relationships with future buyers. It's my virtual office." The RentSpree PRO subscription is $19.99/month.

DocuSign Continues Agreement Cloud Expansion with Liveoak Technologies Acquisition
Deal to accelerate delivery of solutions for remote online notary and other "assisted agreements" SAN FRANCISCO, July 7, 2020 -- Amid increasing demand for solutions that enable the remote completion of agreements that traditionally required in-person contact, DocuSign today announced its acquisition of Austin-based startup, Liveoak Technologies, for $38 million in an all-stock transaction. The news builds on the companies' existing partnership, where DocuSign eSignature is integrated with Liveoak's secure agreement-collaboration platform. Liveoak uses web-based videoconferencing, rich collaboration features, identity verification and other tools to help complete an auditable transaction remotely—and it counts some of the world's largest financial institutions as customers. DocuSign plans to leverage Liveoak's technology and expertise to accelerate the launch of DocuSign Notary, a new product in the Agreement Cloud suite that focuses on remote online notarization (RON)—where audio-visual technology is used to complete a notarial act when the signers and the notary public are in different places. Slated for early-access availability later this summer, DocuSign Notary will enable notarized transactions via video—something increasingly supported by U.S. states' legislatures and executive orders. DocuSign Notary will also augment the company's existing eNotary offering, which enables a notary public to act as an in-person witness to the electronic signing of documents. As part of today's news, DocuSign will continue to offer Liveoak's platform for remotely completing other "assisted agreements"—such as account openings or virtual inspections—that require in-person facilitation and an audit trail. "DocuSign is practically synonymous with the electronic completion of agreements from almost anywhere, on almost any device," said DocuSign COO, Scott Olrich. "But there is an important class of high-value agreements that require the live participation of a notary or other representative. With this acquisition, we intend to bring the DocuSign experience to those agreements too—so signers and those assisting can get business done no matter where they are." "Given the state of technology today, people often wonder why they still need to sign any document in-person—and the pandemic has only exacerbated this concern," said Liveoak CEO, Tim Ramza. "We've been working to solve this very issue for years, and we've had a strong partnership with DocuSign as a result. By joining forces and fully integrating our solutions now, we can bring the ease and simplicity of DocuSign to the execution of notarized and other complex assisted agreements." For more information, visit docusign.com or liveoak.net. About DocuSign DocuSign helps organizations connect and automate how they prepare, sign, act on, and manage agreements. As part of the DocuSign Agreement Cloud, DocuSign offers eSignature: the world's #1 way to sign electronically on practically any device, from almost anywhere, at any time. Today, more than 500,000 customers and hundreds of millions of users in over 180 countries use DocuSign to accelerate the process of doing business and to simplify people's lives.

DocuSign expands options and integrations to make tech easier for real estate agents
CHICAGO, Nov 3, 2017 -- At the 2017 REALTORS® Conference & Expo here today, DocuSign – the global eSignature and Digital Transaction Management (DTM) leader – announced several initiatives that expand the adoption of technology in real estate and help to create a fully-digital transaction from 'lead to close.' As part of the news, DocuSign is introducing the 'Real Estate Starter' plan. Available through the National Association of REALTORS®' REALTOR Benefits® Program at an exclusive 20% discount via www.docusign.com/nar, Real Estate Starter is specifically designed for agents who are new to the industry (or are new to using electronic signatures). DocuSign also provides access to real estate-specific programs, trainings and content to help maximize the return on investment from the solution. "Almost three million real estate transactions are signed and closed using DocuSign every year," said Georg Gerstenfeld, general manager and vice president of Global Real Estate Solutions, DocuSign. "And while most of the industry's top-producing agents already use DocuSign, there are some who do fewer transactions but still need additional support and lower-cost ways to take their business digital. The Real Estate Starter plan and unique discount for NAR members will help make that easier than ever before." The news is timely as it complements the goals and objectives of the National Association of REALTORS®, a DocuSign partner, given its recently-appointed CEO Bob Goldberg is also working to rapidly accelerate digital transformation in the real estate industry. "DocuSign has been a leader in helping the real estate industry go digital, enabling REALTORS® to spend more time working with clients and providing their expertise, rather than chasing paperwork," said Goldberg. "As we look to the future, expanding access to technology and ensuring different solutions work well together is key to our next chapter. DocuSign shares our vision, and I'm proud of the important benefits this partnership brings to our members." DocuSign also announced the availability of more integrations as part of its Real Estate Partner Program. DocuSign's core functionality is now integrated directly into Amitree, API Nation, Boston Logic, BrokerSumo, iConnect by GryphTech, LoneWolf Technologies, MoxiWorks, Open Listings™, Profit Power, Preclose, ShortTrack, Spacio, SnapNHD, RealSatisfied, and zipLogix™ – with new partners getting added to the platform monthly. DocuSign's investment in and commitment to building a state of the art application programming interface (API) also enables real estate brokers – through DocuSign for Brokers plan - to connect their myriad technology vendors through the DocuSign Transaction Room. This helps to create a seamless, paperless and fully digital, 'lead to close' experience for brokers and agents. That means agents can spend more time with their buyers and sellers, and less time on manual data entry and toggling back and forth between applications – all with fewer compliance errors that might slow down a deal.

DocuSign Bolsters Functionality with Spring '17 Release
SAN FRANCISCO, March 7, 2017 -- As part of its commitment to help organizations around the world to transform paper-based processes into fast, easy and secure digital transactions, DocuSign – the global eSignature and Digital Transaction Management (DTM) leader – made the DocuSign Spring '17 Release available today. The release includes enhancements and updates to the company's eSignature solution and broader DTM platform – the most significant of which include deeper integrations with Google Docs, the availability of the eNotary feature in eight US states, the personal eHanko signing option in Japan and the availability of DocuSign Payments. "The Spring '17 Release builds on our largest product update ever in December last year, where we shipped more new features than in the last several quarters combined," said Ron Hirson, chief product officer at DocuSign. "Today's release expands our exceptional user experiences, while further empowering industries, customers and partners to go digital." New for the Spring '17 Release is the DocuSign for Google Docs add-on. This new integration enables users to sign, send and manage documents directly from Google Docs – saving time by conveniently starting a DocuSign workflow directly from the Google Docs editor, or from Docs' recent documents. This includes the automatic saving of signed documents to Google Drive, as well as Gmail integration for sending them – one of the most requested features. On the real estate front, most homebuyers and agents find the paper-based home financing and closing process cumbersome and lengthy. That's why DocuSign created its new eNotary feature, so senders can request electronic notarial acts and Notaries can host in-person signing sessions. Released for early access in the DocuSign Winter '17 Release in December and generally available this month in the DocuSign Spring '17 Release, the new eNotary feature eliminates the need to print, scan or mail closing documents. All actions can be performed within the DocuSign platform, including applying a seal and exporting a notary log. These in-person eNotarizations can be performed via DocuSign in Idaho, Indiana, Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York and Washington (in addition to North Carolina, which has been available since 2014). For Japan, the adoption of eSignature has been influenced by the fact that signers are accustomed to using a Hanko stamp to represent their signature on paper documents. That's why DocuSign is launching the personal eHanko in the DocuSign Spring '17 Release, in partnership with Shachihata Inc. – a leading company in Japan's traditional hanko culture. It complements the basic eHanko functionality launched in December last year. And according to DocuSign Japan's vice president, Hayato Koeda, Japanese businesses and consumers will see tremendous benefit. "The advantages of digitization are more widely recognized today in Japan. However, traditional Japanese business customs including the process of affixing a seal remain, resulting in the persistent use of paper, which acts as a bottleneck to improving work efficiency," he explained. "By collaborating with Shachihata, we are providing a solution that makes it easier for Japanese companies to improve operational efficiency, compliance measures and customer experience. In Europe and the United States, many progressive companies have already undertaken the move towards digitization. With this solution, Japanese companies can also achieve digital transformation with completely paperless business operations." In addition to the above, DocuSign users around the world will benefit from other enhancements in the DocuSign Spring '17 Release, including: DocuSign Payments: on the heels of US availability in February this year, DocuSign Payments will be enabled for customers in the UK, Canada and Australia this month, offering support for payments in GBP, CAD and AUD currencies. New DocuSign Experience: Document Visibility – this makes it easier for senders to control document access by limiting who can view documents in an envelope. Shared Template Folders – administrators can now create and organize folders to share templates with users and groups. Senders can now quickly locate and use the templates shared with them. Intelligent Document Recognition – this ensures tags, recipients and authentication are matched automatically between documents and templates. Fax In/Fax Out – this enables senders to deliver an agreement to a fax recipient or receive a signature via fax. For more information on the DocuSign Spring '17 Release, visit the blog at http://docusign.com/blog/docusign-spring-17-release About DocuSign, Inc.DocuSign® is changing how business gets done by empowering anyone to send, sign and manage agreements anytime, anywhere, on any device with trust and confidence.

DocuSign Empowers Agents and Brokers to Get More from Their Real Estate Business by Transforming Transactions from Lead to Close
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 6, 2016 -- NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS ANNUAL CONFERENCE — Demonstrating significant progress in its recently-announced 'lead to close' strategy, global eSignature and Digital Transaction Management leader DocuSign today announced several product updates, partnerships and commitments  that will help agents and brokers get more out of their business. There are three key elements to the news – updates to the DocuSign eMortgage solution, partnerships with Homes.com and zipLogix, and participation in Upstream's pilot program. All of these enable DocuSign to connect multiple people, systems and processes in a real estate transaction to make it simple, efficient and fully digital. And they are all part of the 'lead to close' strategy for the real estate industry, first announced by DocuSign Chairman and CEO Keith Krach in July this year, when DocuSign made its biggest investment in the real estate industry to date. "Agents are at the center of every real estate transaction and we know just how hard they work to make a home sale as easy as possible for their clients. Our mission is to help them save time and deliver more value for buyers and sellers," said Georg Gerstenfeld, general manager: Global Real Estate Solutions, DocuSign. "Our 'lead to close' strategy integrates DocuSign with the software that agents use every day so they don't need to re-enter data. Our mobile app means agents can keep a transaction moving even if they are on vacation or if their clients are traveling to another city. And our new eNotary solution means you never need to print another document all the way through the settlement process." "By using DocuSign to close nearly 3 million transactions a year, real estate professionals have made DocuSign a verb in the industry. We're excited to see NAR's strategic partner DocuSign continue to innovate to enhance the agent and client experience," said Bob Goldberg, senior vice president of Sales & Marketing, Business Development & Strategic Investments, Professional Development and Conventions of the National Association of REALTORS (NAR). As part of the 'lead to close' strategy, eMortgage is transforming the industry, simplifying the consumer experience, helping agents present a more professional face to clients and improving brokers' ability to stay compliant with increasingly complex transactions. DocuSign recently announced several new features to enable a complete eMortgage – including eNotary and eNote. For most homebuyers and their agents, the home financing process remains a cumbersome, paper-based process. DocuSign's product investments in eMortgage shorten and simplify this process – enabling a better, and quicker, closing experience for buyers. With DocuSign's eNotary solution, there is no need to print, scan or mail closing documents – all actions can be performed within the DocuSign platform, including applying a seal and exporting a notary log. In addition, the company is seeking approval to become a certified eNote service provider for Fannie Mae, a certification only granted to a handful of organizations. Today's announcement with Homes.com integrates another leading app with DocuSign Transaction Rooms for Real Estate to reduce data re-entry and simplify the experience for agents. With Homes.com – a top consumer real estate resource and provider of marketing solutions for real estate professionals – DocuSign will streamline and simplify the experience for agents, brokers,  and their clients by connecting leads and listings directly from the Homes.com CRM system into DocuSign Transaction Rooms. "At Homes.com, we're committed to connecting real estate professionals with the highly engaged consumers that visit our site and use our marketing products. Partnering with DocuSign takes this one step further by streamlining an agent's workflow, creating a seamless process of moving a consumer from lead status into a transaction," said Dave Mele, president of Homes.com. "Agents will avoid duplicate data entry and the inconvenience of logging into different systems, offering a big win that simplifies the transaction process." DocuSign is also announcing an extended partnership with zipLogix, expanding its partnership around the zipForm® solution. "zipLogix and DocuSign have worked together for years to simplify the transaction process for agents, brokers, and their clients. This extension signifies their commitment to partnering to simplify the experience for the hundreds of thousands of agents and brokers using zipForm®," said Joel Singer, CEO at zipLogix. DocuSign's participation in Upstream's early access program will provide feedback and input before the solution is generally available. Working with Upstream will lead to innovations that simplify the agent experience while ensuring brokers remain in control of their data. "We're excited for DocuSign to support our pilot program. As a leader in the real estate industry, its vision for making real estate transactions digital from lead to close – while empowering brokers to control their data – is an example of the kind of innovation Upstream will create across the industry," said Alex Lange, CEO of Upstream. The real estate industry has been a key focus for DocuSign for many years – and according to DocuSign's Krach, that will only heighten in the years to come. "The real estate business is all about trust and relationships, and that starts with brokers and agents," said Krach. "At DocuSign, we are laser-focused on providing those real estate professionals with a platform that's available, secure, and easy to use. This has been vitally important to us from the beginning and we will continue to put agents, brokers and their clients at the center of the transaction so they can do business on the DocuSign Global Trust Network with confidence." DocuSign also formed a real estate advisory board in August this year, which replicates the principles of its global advisory board that has been instrumental in shaping the company's direction. Members include: Rick Davidson, CEO of Century 21, a sub of Realogy; Gino Blefari, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices; Mike Ryan, EVP of RE/MAX; Joel Singer, CEO of California Association of Realtors & zipLogix; Pam O'Connor, CEO of Leading Real Estate Companies of America; Dale Ross, CEO of RPR; Gary Simonsen, CEO of Canadian Real Estate Association; and Craig Cheatham, CEO of Realty Alliance.

William Pitt and Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty Chooses Instanet Solutions' TransactionDesk
Austin, TX – November 2, 2016 – William Pitt and Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty (WPSIR) has selected TransactionDesk as its paperless platform and transaction management solution. WPSIR will provide TransactionDesk accounts to all associates and staff. TransactionDesk, by Instanet Solutions, is a full-featured eSignature, online forms, transaction and document management system that includes a comprehensive set of tools and integrations for both agents and brokerages to manage their business. TransactionDesk will provide WPSIR a solution it could not obtain from another vendor today. WPSIR will have a customized, comprehensive, single system to manage their transactions across all of their offices and one that has deep integrations with major MLSs that serve their offices in both New York and Connecticut. The brokerage gets the powerful tools necessary to manage their files while delivering an easier to use and more efficient solution to their agents. Agents who are members of the MLSs will be able to leverage these deep integrations to speed the creation of transactions and completion of forms using MLS data and tax data integrations. Agents in certain MLSs will also be able to create listings in those MLSs by uploading data to the MLSs from TransactionDesk before or after sending that data to other brokerage systems. Additionally, deep document integrations ease the task of posting or retrieving documents to and from MLS listings. In many cases WPSIR agents will be able to login to TransactionDesk directly from the MLS, while still using WPSIR's customized version of TransactionDesk, giving them fast access to TransactionDesk from another frequently used application. "When we can make our associates' lives easier and make our brokerage more efficient at the same time, it's an easy choice to make," said WPSIR CEO and President Paul Breunich. "Using TransactionDesk gives the brokerage the control and risk mitigation we need, makes our operations more efficient and gives our agents a faster and easier way to manage their transactions. Ultimately, it drives our real goal – to provide the best possible service to our clients." "We're proud William Pitt and Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty chose TransactionDesk," said Martin Scrocchi, CEO of Instanet Solutions.

Move, Inc. aligns with Lone Wolf for a Seamless Lead-to-Commission System
  SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 18, 2016 -- Move, Inc., a foremost provider of real estate information, tools and professional expertise and the operator of leading online real estate services destination realtor.com, has aligned with residential real estate software giant Lone Wolf Real Estate Technologies, Inc. to integrate Move's Reesio transaction management system with Lone Wolf's brokerage enterprise system. The combination further expands Move's professional software platform to provide the residential real estate industry with the most connected business management solution available today. The natural alignment of the two companies is founded upon a shared vision to empower real estate professionals, and their central role in guiding consumers through the real estate transaction process.  The integration between these products links two different, but complementary mission-critical tools to create a seamless data flow, eliminate duplicate data entry and increase transparency for all parties throughout the whole transaction process. Move's customers can already route leads from all sources to FiveStreetSM software for rapid response, flowing into Top Producer® CRM for cultivation, and into Reesio once the consumer forms an agreement with the agent. Now, when the deal is completed in Reesio, the complete transaction information can be synchronized to the broker's brokerWOLF back-end accounting system. Lone Wolf's software can then immediately trigger the financial outcomes of the transaction for all participants. "Connecting the components of productivity software is something that virtually all of today's service providers strive for, and our relationships and alignment with the industry have given us a head start in this arena," said Luke Glass, executive vice president of professional services for Move.  "What really excites us about this agreement is being able to connect our streamlined solutions with smart, complementary offerings from like-minded companies like Lone Wolf who share our commitment to delivering a truly delightful experience to real estate professionals, and ultimately enhancing the consumer's experience." "We are committed to our mission of delivering a connected real estate technology eco-system," says Patrick Arkeveld, CEO of Lone Wolf Real Estate Technologies. "Integrating Reesio and Move's suite of real estate software products complements our strategy of providing brokers an end-to-end technology solution that streamlines processes and ultimately increases visibility and profitability in their business." The agreement follows this spring's completion of Reesio's integration with Top Producer®, the nation's leading CRM, and zipLogix™ zipform®, the industry's most widely used real estate forms software solution, to connect customer relationship management, transaction management and transaction documents in the same platform.  A zipForm® account is required to access the integration with Reesio.

RE/MAX to Standardize on DocuSign for Global Franchise Network
CHICAGO, Aug. 16, 2016 -- At its Broker/Owner conference here yesterday RE/MAX LLC, the global real estate franchisor, announced plans to standardize on DocuSign's eSignature platform and its Transaction Rooms for Real Estate solution for more than 100,000 broker and agent affiliates around the world. The news sees RE/MAX adding another unique tool to boost productivity for its brokers and agents – one that will allow transactions to be 100% digital from the moment an agent receives a lead to the moment the deed is recorded. It also comes close on the heels of DocuSign announcing it has doubled down on its support of the release estate industry – and launched its 'lead to close' strategy to put brokers and agents at the center of the real estate transaction, so that they can do the same for their clients. "We always strive to give our Affiliates the very best tools and resources to help grow their businesses and better serve their clients," explained Mike Ryan, executive vice president at RE/MAX. "RE/MAX Affiliates are hungry for technologies that can efficiently manage the entire real estate transaction from offer to close, especially those with a tamper-proof electronic signature capability. DocuSign offers our members a solution that is easy to use, secure, scalable and seamless on multiple devices." eSignature technology has become increasingly mainstream in real estate transactions in recent years, with the majority of professionals reporting they close digital deals faster as a result. The process for buyers and sellers is significantly streamlined by removing paper and wet signatures from the transaction. DocuSign Transaction Rooms for Real Estate takes that paperless concept several steps further, and is gaining increasing traction in the industry as a result. It empowers brokers, agents, buyers, sellers and all other parties to collaborate on the entire real estate transaction in a secure, online room – including electronically signing purchase and sales, addendums, closing documents and other paperwork. Against that backdrop, Ryan said RE/MAX chose DocuSign for how well its benefits align to RE/MAX's strategy. "In addition to transaction management, DocuSign provides a mobile offering, global reach, and legal compliance in key markets and a reliable platform that's always available," he said. "Our worldwide network of brokers and agents also appreciates the fact that DocuSign ensures they own their data and maintain control over how it is used." The deal also creates even more value for RE/MAX affiliates. DocuSign and RE/MAX are working together toward integrating DocuSign services with RE/MAX Mainstreet and LeadStreet, which will offer single sign-on capabilities and dramatically reduce the need for repetitive data entry. For RE/MAX independent regions that use their own systems and opt into this program, similar integrations will be built. In addition, DocuSign has an extensive network of software vendors with which it has integrated its product in the real estate space – from RPR for managing property data, to zipLogix for forms, to the accounting package from Lone Wolf Real Estate Technologies, among many others. "DocuSign is making its biggest investment in real estate to date to enable brokers and agents to process more than 12 million documents annually and close more than 2.5 million real estate transactions every year," said Georg Gerstenfeld, VP & GM of the real estate business at DocuSign. "Today's announcement with RE/MAX solidifies an already-intense focus on the real estate industry. RE/MAX is a true leader in the industry here in North America and, indeed, around the world. We're looking forward to partnering with its franchised brokerages to empower them with DocuSign so that they can close deals faster and continually delight their clients."

Inside the REALTORS® Conference & Expo halls, Florida Realtors®, the nation's second largest Realtor® state association with 140,000 members, will showcase not only the real estate industry's number one technical support firm -- Tech Helpline -- but also one of the real estate industry's most popular and advanced paperless transaction solutions: Form Simplicity. These "built by Realtors® for Realtors®" services together have established a national footprint that will soon expand significantly when two leading state associations roll out new services to their members and another renews its paperless transaction management services contract. Tech Helpline, the real estate industry's #1 tech support service, is a new, included member benefit that is being made available to two leading state associations: the Oregon Association of REALTORS® will provide its 14,400-plus members with Tech Helpline as a standard benefit beginning in December, and the Arizona Association of REALTORS® will provide its more than 42,000 members with Tech Helpline services beginning January 1, 2016. Tech Helpline was also launched last month to more than 13,600 members of the Orange County Association of REALTORS®. Renewing its paperless transaction management services contract is the Wyoming Association of REALTORS®; they will continue to provide the Ultimate Edition of Form Simplicity, which includes eSign digital signatures, as a standard benefit for 2,000 plus members, as it recently extended its contract. Eric Forsman, Vice President of Technology Services at Florida Realtors, notes that the success of Form Simplicity and Tech Helpline continues to be driven by recommendations from other associations. "Form Simplicity and Tech Helpline, because they are Realtor-homegrown, have a built-in advantage over products built by third parties and industry outsiders," Forsman says. "Both Form Simplicity and Tech Helpline deeply understand what Brokers and agents need for their technology solutions. That's how Florida Realtors has been able to create both a best-in-class, lead-to-close paperless transaction solution, and the most popular tech support firm in the real estate industry." At the REALTORS® Conference & Expo, experts from both Form Simplicity and Tech Helpline will be on hand to demonstrate these services, including the new Broker Transaction Management features that were recently added to Form Simplicity. Forsman notes that both services, which are owned by Florida Realtors, saves agents time. "Leveraging real-world, real estate experience and always having the best interest of our members at heart is something associations, MLSs and real estate brokerage firms deeply appreciate -- especially today," he said. Used daily by Realtors from Florida to Wyoming, New Jersey to Iowa and Arkansas, Form Simplicity may be used on mobile devices and has an integrated, digital signature solution, speeding up the process of closing transactions. Form Simplicity helps create smoother transactions for the broker, agents on both sides of the transactions, as well as the home buyer and seller. Tech Helpline analysts solve general technology issues for real estate professionals, such as virus problems and internet issues, Tech Helpline is known for its friendly, U.S.-based tech support and is available to one in three Realtors in North America -- more than 400,000 in the U.S. and Canada. Together, these two services are a powerful combination delivering valuable member benefits to real estate professionals, with Florida Realtors leading the effort in the advancement of technology for association members.

Latest Release of DocuSign for Real Estate PLUS, Broker Edition Helps Brokers Accelerate Agent Performance
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2015 -- DocuSign, Inc. announced the latest version of its industry-leading Digital Transaction Management (DTM) platform and eSignature solution for real estate brokerages. Enhancements to DocuSign for Real Estate Plus, Broker Edition further position brokerages to improve agent performance, ensure compliance and data protection, and deliver a world-class client experience. The addition of new task management capabilities further positions DocuSign as the hub of real estate transactions for brokerages of any size and focus. Enhancements provide the flexibility to support task management within any brokerage. Key highlights include: Tasks Lists and Templates – The new task management feature in DocuSign for Real Estate Plus, Broker Edition allows brokerages to create a custom workflow unique to their organization that will help drive transaction efficiency and agent productivity. Task list templates can be created for each stage of the transaction to ensure that the client experience is consistent no matter which Agent is representing the brokerage. Tasks Overview – A new "Task" tab can be found in every DocuSign Transaction Room to provide Broker Edition users with quick visibility into all tasks related to a specific transaction. Tasks that require document actions are found here in addition to tasks not associated with documents. New task status icons make it easy for transaction parties to monitor tasks through completion to ensure deals continue through to close. Dynamic Due Dates and Reminders – Task due dates are dynamically set based upon the dates associated with each transaction, allowing brokers to ensure that specific actions are completed at specific times during the transaction. Additionally, a brokerage can configure reminders specific to each task. For example, when a task list template is applied to a DocuSign Transaction Room, the due date for a task will be automatically set based upon the expected closing date of the transaction and reminders can be sent at pre-determined times. Should the closing date change, the due date for the task and associated reminders will adjust accordingly. Dynamic Assignment of Responsibilities – The task owner, Assignee(s) and Watcher(s) for each task can be defined at the template level based upon the roles of participants to the transaction. When the task list template is applied to the transaction room, the system matches the defined roles to the participants to the transaction. For example, you can define the Assignee for a task in the template as the Buyer. When the task list template is applied to the transaction room, the task will automatically be associated with the participant in the transaction room identified as the Buyer. Workflow Flexibility – Permissions can be defined specific to each task in the task list template. The brokerage can determine whether Agents can edit or delete tasks, as well as if tasks need to be reviewed and approved once complete, empowering brokerages to utilize new task capabilities based on how they run their brokerage. Task Notifications – With new task notifications, DocuSign for Real Estate Plus, Broker Edition users will know exactly when a task is coming due or past due, as well as when complete. Task notifications enable individuals to follow in real-time the review and approval process for tasks. Notifications are based on individual user preference and can be received via email or push notifications from DocuSign's mobile apps for iOS and Android. "We're excited to provide our brokerage customers with innovative tools to better manage transactions from listing to close," said Glenn Shimkus, Vice President of Product, Global Real Estate Solutions at DocuSign.

SEATTLE and CINCINNATI, July 22, 2015 -- Zillow Group, which houses a portfolio of the largest and most vibrant real estate and home-related brands on mobile and Web, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to buy DotLoop, a Cincinnati-based company that simplifies real estate transactions by enabling brokerages, real estate agents, and their clients to share, edit, sign and store documents digitally. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015. This acquisition is an extension of Zillow Group's commitment to empowering buyers, sellers and real estate professionals with tools and information to make their lives easier. Everyone involved in a real estate transaction - brokers, agents, homebuyers, sellers, and other participants including lenders and inspectors - wants to streamline what is a lengthy and complex process. DotLoop brings the transaction online, from the creation of a listing agreement to the submission of offers to the actual closing, enabling the process to move much more quickly and easily. Today, real estate agents create more than 300,000 loops (an agent's online workspace) and nearly half a million people sign real estate documents in DotLoop each month. "Real estate transactions are already moving online - it's what home buyers, sellers and real estate professionals want. We're incredibly excited by DotLoop's innovation and leadership in making digital transactions a reality," said Spencer Rascoff, CEO of Zillow Group. "Now we will be able to make their technology more readily available to Zillow Group's 10,000 broker partners and the agents they represent, as well as our approximately 100,000 real estate agent advertisers, resulting in a smoother and more efficient transaction process for everyone." "As we've long said, the future of real estate is people-work, not paperwork. That's why we are committed to removing the friction involved in paper-based real estate transactions," said Austin Allison, Founder and CEO of DotLoop. "Becoming part of Zillow Group will provide us with new resources to help us grow and expand our business, while we add value to our current customers by offering increased support and faster product development." DotLoop, which was founded in 2009, is led by Austin Allison who has been recognized across the real estate industry for his leadership and innovation including winning Inman News 2012 Innovator of the Year, inclusion in Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2012, and being named the 11th most powerful real estate technology executive in the Swanepoel Power 200 Report.

Instanet Solutions Implements New Listing Upload Interface for NWMLS
June 3rd, 2015 Austin, TX - Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS) members can now create an MLS listing from a listing input form in TransactionDesk®. With one click, the data entered in the listing input form is processed and uploaded to the MLS as an incomplete/draft listing. The forms can also be saved for future use, allowing the agent or brokerage to finalize and review the data before the listing is uploaded to the MLS. This faster, completely paperless process provides NWMLS members with better data accuracy and reduced redundancy. Members can now enter data while at the property rather than having to try to remember property details later. Additionally, MLS metadata and input rules are incorporated into the listing input form, allowing members to select data options from drop-down lists rather than entering each option manually. This integration makes the entry process easier and more accurate. "Northwest MLS is excited to make this service available to our members. It launched a few weeks ago and we've received nothing but positive comments," said Tom Hurdelbrink, President and CEO of NWMLS. "We're able to provide our members with another interface for adding listing data; one that is seamlessly integrated with their online forms and their electronic signature system, InstanetForms® and Authentisign®." Instanet has integrated and deployed this solution with several other MLS systems. The data can be uploaded to the MLS using RETS Update, a web service, or other methods. The upload can be made RESO compliant or can be made to adhere to virtually any MLS data format. "In just a few weeks, we'll have over 100,000 MLS members around the country using this listing upload interface. It's a great solution in markets where signatures or initials are required on the profile sheet, if assistants or brokers are helping with the listing upload process, or where brokers want to get the data before or at the same time that it's entered into the MLS," said Martin Scrocchi, CEO of Instanet Solutions. "Nobody wants to have to remember which features a property has the next day when they are entering it into the MLS. This eliminates the need to fill in hundreds of property attributes on a piece of paper and then re-enter it again later. Now it can be easily done onsite and in real time." About Instanet Solutions Instanet Solutions is a leading provider of real estate technology with over 400,000 licensed, paid user accounts of their various real estate focused products – Authentisign®, TransactionDesk®, InstanetForms®, DocBox® and InstanetFax®. Instanet Solutions began delivering residential real estate technology in 1991.

The addition of private compliance templates that any user within a brokerage can set up. Re-designed workflow section that gives users a better view of task information. Better manage tasks with mass/bulk actions; Delete, Assign, Approve, Flag, Complete, Set Compliance, Set visibility. The task approval process is now more streamlined by auto-completing the task when approved. The ability to remove/override any task due dates or due date rules applied. Sort tasks by task order, title, assignee, due date, compliance state, approval state, flag state, visibility state. All of the transaction dashboard pages have been redesigned with a new, modern look to match the rest of the Reesio product. Reesio Co-Founder & CEO, Mark Thomas, said that the above features in this launch correlate to the most requested features by its customers. "At Reesio, we provide around-the-clock customer support, and we receive lots of feedback requests from our customers regarding new features that they want to see. We take customer feedback very seriously here, and all of these features that we've launched today are ones that have received the most requests from our customers over the past few months. In addition, the newly re-designed transaction dashboard utilizes more screen space and offers a cleaner look and feel." Anecdotally, Thomas said that the number one thing that customers continuously praise Reesio for is its modern look and feel and design. "Real estate technology has been stuck in the dark ages," said Thomas. "And not just from a features standpoint, but also from a design standpoint. So many real estate technologies have user interfaces and visual designs that were created 10 years ago, and customers simply are not ok with that any longer. They want a product that looks and feels like they're using Facebook or Evernote -- not some boring real estate software. We take just as much time and care with the design and user experience of our product as we do with the new features that we roll out." The company also continues to take a unique approach with how it publicizes all of its new feature releases that they make. They've built a Product Updates page directly on their site, which gives a play-by-play of every single new feature that they release every week. Thomas says that customers love this transparency because they know that their voice is being heard and they can see all of the great changes that they're making every week. "No one else in the real estate industry is doing this because most of them are afraid to show what's under the hood. At Reesio, we believe that transparency is best." Thomas said that with this new features launch, all of which is focused on its Transaction Management product, that the company is going to now begin focusing almost 100% of its efforts on adding new CRM features. "The next area of focus for us is adding new CRM features. We were able to build a great v1 of our CRM product that we launched back in August 2014. Since that time, our customers have asked for additional features that will make Reesio's CRM a truly complete product, and allow us to fully realize our goal of becoming a one-stop-shop for the technology needs of real estate professionals." These new features will be released in several waves over the next 12 months, with the most-requested features being worked on and released first.

eBrokerHouse Platform Celebrates Milestone of $15 Billion in Closed Transactions
Real estate software firm eBrokerHouse, Inc. has announced that it has recently surpassed over $15 billion in closed transactions managed through its platform since the company launched its transaction and offer management software in 2009. The company's CEO, Alan Fenn, says, "We provide an easy to use tool for real estate agents to manage all aspects of their business in one location. Agents do not need to learn and pay for multiple software platforms to run their business and they love that. Agents and their teams can login to one platform and manage any type of transaction they have including traditional sales, short sales, REOs, and more." eBrokerHouse boasts that they cultivate a family atmosphere where their clients feel comfortable expressing their ideas and feedback. In fact, Fenn routinely answers customer support calls and replies to user emails himself. He says that talking with his customers daily is the best way for him to know what agents are dealing with on a day to day basis and what they need from a software. According to Fenn, the platform's most popular feature among most agents is the proprietary offer submission and management system. This feature allows agents to receive offers directly into their eBrokerHouse account from a link they can place in their MLS or on their website. Buyer's agents upload their offers online and the offer can be managed and amended by both parties throughout the offer process. To date, over 500,000 offers have been submitted to eBrokerHouse members through the software. eBrokerHouse offers both a free and paid service for agents. Both versions have the same features, but the paid version allows agents to manage a higher volume of active listings, collaborate with team members and store more files.

Reesio Launches Revamped Brokerage Features And Sees 140% User Growth In 5 Months
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, May 22, 2014 -- Reesio, the only completely free transaction management system available to real estate brokers, transaction coordinators, and agents, has launched a suite of new Brokerage management tools today: Graphs and reporting showing key metrics across the entire brokerage. Facebook-style notifications that make it clear what users need to be aware of across all of their transactions at all times. Commission tracking/details across the entire brokerage. Consolidated view of tasks due for all agents across the entire brokerage. Consolidated view of recent activities from all agents across the entire brokerage. Advanced filtering and searching across the entire brokerage. According to Reesio Co-Founder & CEO, Mark Thomas, these new features are designed to meet the demand of brokerages of all sizes, and will allow them to manage all transactions for all users within their brokerage in one centralized place and with a familiar look and feel. "In sticking with the theme of keeping our product social and similar to products like Facebook that people use every day, we're continuing our quest to be transaction management for the modern real estate professional. There are a lot of ugly, clunky real estate technology products out there. Users need more than just functionality. They want and need a beautiful, social product that mirrors the other ones that they use outside of their jobs." Thomas expects that these features will also attract a lot of the larger 500+ person brokerages, as well as MLS's, who are tired of using the older systems that haven't kept up with the pace of modern design and user interfaces. "It used to be that enterprise software had to look ugly in order for it to get buy-in from the CTO of a large organization. Now, you see a bottoms-up approach where individual agents are using a product, loving it, and recommending it to their CTO's. The CTO's then can be heroes within the organization because they're giving the final approval on products that their agents want." These new features come on the heels of some pretty impressive growth experienced by the company. Thomas says that they've grown from about 2,500 users at the end of November 2013 to over 6,000 at the end of April 2014 - a 140% growth rate in just 5 months. Thomas attributes this to the company's relentless pursuit of listening to its customers' feedback and responding quickly to their needs. "Almost our entire product roadmap is driven by what our customers ask us for. We take the time to listen to them and actually implement what they're asking for. Unlike a lot of other products out there, we release new features every single week, which our customers can subscribe to via email and find out what new features get launched. It's pretty cool for the customer to get an email update and to be able to say to him/herself - 'Hey, that was my idea!'" In addition to strong user growth, the company continues to prove out that its real estate property data is more accurate than Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com. "In the past 6 months since we launched our public listing pages, we've found that our data is 52% more accurate than what's currently on Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com. While we understand that our database of properties is considerably smaller than what those three companies have (Reesio currently has about 6,300 properties in its system), we're going to able to build products that are tailored to individual users' needs that no one else can do because this data is generated through our system. The reality is clear that transaction management is the path to getting the most accurate data in real time and being able to offer the most customized user experiences. Even better is that our users love the fact that they can control and see the data as it's automatically updating on the public listing pages." Reesio also plans on continuing its quest to become the only real estate technology platform that does everything -- transaction management, CRM, marketing, lead-gen, etc. According to a WAV Group study that was released last month, the number one pain point for brokers and agents is not having all of their technology needs in one place. "Brokers and agents are tired of having to use 5 different platforms to conduct 5 different aspects of their job. They want one place to be able to do everything. Unlike some of our competitors who are going wide with their product into other verticals, we're real estate people ourselves, and so we're keeping our product 100% focused on real estate only. This will allow us to meet our goal of becoming the only one-stop-shop platform available to brokers and agents. We don't have every feature yet, but we will soon." Thomas wouldn't give specifics on exactly what those features would entail, but he did say that they'll be ready within 2-3 months. He also said that Reesio's transaction management system will continue to always be free, and that the company will begin generating revenue on feature upgrades such as CRM, marketing, and data tools that get integrated into its transaction management platform. "Very soon, Reesio is going to be the hub of where everything happens online for brokers, agents, and clients. We're excited to help make that future a reality," said Thomas.

New Sequent Enterprise Roll-Out Meets Demands of Real Estate Marketing Companies
SAN FRANCISCO,CA, April 23, 2014 -- The multi-unit market has changed drastically over the last decade, with previously sales-oriented real estate developers and marketers pushing increasingly into the rental market. They have also moved to systematically gathering and analyzing big data in order to optimize their businesses. Two New York-based major players in the field, Douglas Elliman and Gotham Property, are leading the charge towards diversification and big data by implementing the new version of Sequent Enterprise. The condo development lead and transaction management software's latest release now features over 30 different report options for analyzing data and an interface to funnel leads from the marketing website straight into its CRM database. And a lease version has now been released that allows for managing leads and transactions in new condo developments being rented out as opposed to just sales transactions. "With the changes in the real estate industry, professionals want to keep their options open," said Jeremy Shoenig, vice president of operations and product at Sequent Systems, the maker of Sequent Enterprise.
