On Wednesday, the ""National Association of Realtors"":http://www.realtor.org/ (NAR) and ""DocuSign"":http://www.docusign.com/, a provider of on-demand electronic signature solutions, unveiled the DocuSign Realtor Edition--an exclusive online eSignature service designed specifically for Realtors.

DocuSign is the official and exclusive provider of ESIGN services under the Realtor Benefits Program, and its new Realtor Edition allows NAR members to electronically sign agreements with buyers and sellers, which saves Realtors time and provides client convenience.
""We are extremely excited about the new Realtor Edition exclusively designed for NAR members, as well as the opportunity to participate in the Realtor Benefits Program,"" said Dave Thorpe, director of business development at DocuSign.
The Realtor Edition builds on DocuSign's eSignature offerings and also includes new e-signing features. NAR members have the option to adopt a Realtor-branded e-signature for a more personalized client experience, and the product is also designed for mobile functionality with online electronic signing of documents from any type of mobile device.
To accelerate the signing process, Realtors have the ability to control the recipient signing order and have automated receipt signing reminders and envelope expirations. In addition, the eSignature service works with a variety of real estate form applications, including eForms-provider zipLogix, another NAR partner.
""DocuSign's Realtor Edition represents the power of partnership within the real estate industry, and more importantly, reinforces how Realtors benefit from NAR's Realtor Benefits Program,"" said Bob Goldberg, NAR's SVP of marketing, business development, commercial services, and business specialties. ""DocuSign has established itself as a market leader in the real estate segment, and this new product for Realtors will continue to revolutionize the industry.""
