Since July 1, REALTORS® in Ontario have been allowed to use digital signatures to legally bind agreements that are used for the transfer of real property such as the agreement of purchase and sale.
Digital signatures offer several advantages:
- They save time and money. You don’t have to print or fax the agreement of purchase and sale and you don’t have to drive across town to get signatures.
- They are mobile-friendly and work on multiple platforms giving you great flexibility.
- Clients can easily sign documents anytime, anywhere.
There are many digital signature solutions on the market and TREB urges our Members to speak with their Broker of Record or Manager to discuss their options. CREA, however, has negotiated special Member pricing with three digital signature providers (DocuSign®, Authentisign, and Faltour) and have integrated them into WEBForms™.
To learn how to use these digital signature solutions in WEBForms™, there are convenient training videos that you may watch:
