We’ve been hearing about this ‘paperless movement’ for some time so
we’ll understand if you’re not ready to believe us just yet
although it’s hear for real. I’ve joked for years that the paperless thing really took off when lenders started combining one specific set of documents that buyer’s sign at closing from four forms to just one form. That cut down on the typical 80 page packet to 76…wow.
Noticing a huge waste in the amount of paper we print off and do not use we felt ‘enough is enough’. Over the years we’ve been able to make small subtle changes such as:
1. the use of QR (Quick Response) codes which allow people to view a property brochure by taking a picture of it with their smart phone
2. the use of an iPad when viewing homes to eliminate the need for our team to bring along a printed brochure for ourselves
3. the use of online contracts which allow us to reduce the amount of driving by having the ability to email contracts, get electronic signatures and uploading the contract until the file needed to be turned into our office for the required four years of storage (Dept. of Real Estate regulation).
Now we are fully green. We no longer are required to have paper copies on hand. Everything is kept online and stored under encryption to prevent nefarious eyes from seeing. Keller Williams, in conjunction with Dotloop, has established an easy to follow system that has a very low learning curve and brings our firm into high technology by making it more convenient for our clients and lessening our impact on the environment.
