The Paperless Transaction

The elusive "Paperless Transaction" has been a mirage on the technology highway for more than a decade. Even though transaction management platforms have arrived on the scene and both consumers and real estate practitioners alike, have adapted to the digital age. Two examples being electronic banking and online shopping. The promise of the paperless transaction has yet to be fulfilled. For practitioners, consumers, and county recorders, the biggest obstacle has been digital signatures.

Recently zipForm 6 began offering Realtors an alternative solution for signing C.A.R. forms digitally: 'zipLogix Digital Ink' inside zipForm 6. Digital signatures are based on public key cryptology, which allows users to know without question if a document has been modified. Both buyers and sellers can receive forms without ever printing, or using a fax machine. Both paper and time will surely be saved!
