Conversations about the MLS industry, creating software, and employee ownership.

I am not a forms customer, but I will look into this now. I have recently signed up as a Docusign user and it has saved me a lot of time and effort. I sell 2nd homes in a rural area, so most of our buyers and sellers come from 2 hours away, and scanning / emailing / faxing / refaxing / rescanning / re-emailng yields documents that look, as they say, “reedonkulous.” Docusign is great, forms come through clear as a bell, and as importantly, there is no way for the client to miss a spot to sign or initial because I put it there. If Forms in FlexMLS is as useful, I plan to become a customer.

If I sign up for docusign here, can I use it for Zip forms as well at no further cost?

Yes, my understanding is that a Docusign login works the same wherever you use it, but, to be safe, you should check with Docusign or Zip Forms, because I don’t know the details of what Zip Forms may require. I do know for sure that if you were already a Docusign customer, your login would work with the flexmls Forms integration.

I just signed up for Docusign to make things easier for my out of town buyers and sellers and was hesitant at first thinking it would complicated for the buyer or seller and it really isn’t. They will embrace the new technology as well as the chance to start saving a few more trees. I may still save the forms as PDFs and create the document inside Docusign to see that the sig’s and initials end up in the right places, but it is a great system and prevents illegible documents that get faxed and reprinted too many times!
