The Northeast Florida
Association of Realtors is
helping
its
more
than 6,500 members
extend their paperless capabilities, signing a
long-term
agreement with Florida Realtors® to
provide
its
Ultimate
Edition
of Form Simplicity
–
one of
the
real estate industry’s most popular
and advanced paperless transaction
solutions –
as
a
member
benefit beginning in July. The announcement
was made today
during
the National Association of
REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo being held this week in Washington D.C.
“NEFAR members have long benefited
from actively using
the Professional Edition of Form Simplicity, as it's a standard
Florida Realtors benefit,” said Ron Stephan, CEO of
RealtyWEB.Net, the entity
that runs NEFAR’s Multiple
Listing Service. “By empowering NEFAR members with the newest Ultimate Edition of Form Simplicity, we are helping them expand
their paperless activities for all of
their property sales activities,” Stephan said.
Stephan notes that the Ultimate Edition includes unlimited
access to eSign, the highly-secure electronic signature feature of
Form Simplicity, and unlimited
document storage.
“We are providing NEFAR members with an end-to-end online forms process that eliminates the need for what is
still too often a paper-intensive process,” he added.
Bill Martin, CEO of Florida Realtors, says he expects
agents and brokers to “embrace going
paperless,” explaining that the Ultimate
Edition and its unlimited features will
make Form Simplicity “the key go-to technology to help agents and brokers
digitalize their workflow.”
“Form Simplicity takes the
parts of an agent’s
or broker’s job that are commonly
thought of as time- consuming and daunting and makes them much easier,” says Martin. “Enabling NEFAR members through the additional benefits and features found in the Ultimate
Edition of Form
Simplicity will mean that they will be able to spend
more time helping
consumers and
less time tracking paperwork,” he adds.
Martin also noted Broker Transaction Management
is now included as a standard feature
in Form Simplicity.
This creates a single place for real estate brokers
to manage, review,
approve, track and store every agent’s transaction activity
from beginning to end.
Form Simplicity, which is owned by Florida Realtors®, saves agents time with auto-populating smart forms that
eliminate re-typing
or duplicate data entry; provides secure digital signatures; allows agents to share
and negotiate transactions with built-in
collaboration tools; and
provides bank-grade level security for cloud storage
of all documents and logs. The
Professional Edition of Form Simplicity has been available
to all members of Florida Realtors since January 1, 2011.
Realtors from Florida
to Wyoming, New Jersey to Iowa and even Arkansas now use Form
Simplicity, which may
be accessed from mobile devices. Also included is free support
provided by the real estate industry’s #1
tech support team, Tech
Helpline. Tech Helpline
is a service owned by Florida
Realtors and is known for its friendly,
U.S.-based tech analysts.
