CREA and Instanet Solutions have reached an agreement that allows members to take advantage of electronic signatures on real estate documents.

Instanet’s electronic signature solution is known as Authentisign, an online signing service. It is part of Instanet Solution’s paperless platform that includes online forms, document management, transaction management and Internet faxing modules.

“We were the first real estate document and forms company to provide a completely paperless signing solution starting in 2004 (in the U.S.) and now we are thrilled to see this happening for Realtors in Canada,” says Martin Scrocchi, Instanet’s president and CEO. “Our relationship with CREA includes a deep integration between Authentisign and WEBForms, CREA’s existing online forms system, allowing CREA members to easily share documents electronically.”

Scrocchi says, “This means Authentisign can be accessed directly from WEBForms and all of the completed forms and contracts will be automatically available. This will make it very easy and convenient for CREA members who want to take advantage of electronic signatures.”
