Anyone Using Easysign and Going Paperless?

Posted by Cynthia Collis on March 22, 2012 at 4:18am in Short Sale Discussions

Question. Is there anyone using Easysign?

This is signature pad device I just plug into my laptop and have clients sign on the zipform documents (the real estate forms we use here in California) without having to print out the documents first.

I took an excellent course by Jeff Raskin "Going Paperless", where he suggested purchasing "Easysign", which I did.

I just want to know how/if I can incorporate using it in short sales without rejection from the Banks. It is after all, the client's actual signature (not e or digital).

I'm a newbie to this site,.. Thanks for All the Info!

Hi Cynthia,

I like the idea of Easysign. Does it post any kind of imprint around the signatures as docusign does? If it doesn't I can't imagine how the banks would even know it's a electronically reproduced signature. I am also in California.

Thanks for sharing this!

  Also are you using a signature pad that came with Easysign or was it a separate device you purchased?

    Easysign IS a signature pad device. Costs about $99. www.easysign.ca No it does not leave an imprint around the signature. You can make it blue in color and I don't think anyone could tell the difference between it & a wet signature. Again, it IS their signature. It save you from printing out the forms without signatures, then reprinting them once you have all parties sign.

I use docusign. Some files lenders will want wet signatures but I have found that most don't. Just use electronic signatures to gethe transaction pending and submitted and then circulate an original just in case you need it later. They can sign right next to their digital marks.

  Bank of America said in a short sale training session last week that they are not, and will not, accept digital / electronic signatures. The instructor was questioned pretty forcefully on it and she repeated over and over they will always require Wet Signatures.

    I was told by one of the managers at BoA they are not accepting electronic signatures due to the robo signing and there was an internal memo stating this. Looks like once again BoA's screw up causes all of us more problems.

    Thom, in recently speaking with 2 VPs I found out that BofA is looking into electronic signatures. I just closed on with both buyer and seller signing electronically and just had one that I was asked to get wet signatures. Probably slipped one past the negotiator
