Okay, so all the Realtors know that short sales are like a jack-in-the-box: You crank and crank for weeks or months and nothing happens, then everything pops all at once.<\/p>\n

Happened to me today, with the Sphinx-link bank suddenly lurching to life in order to issue two must-rush-now documents that reiterate terms my buyers have already agreed to.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t matter. Must-rush-now! Must-have-today! Must return to hibernating state no later than 5 pm.<\/p>\n

So Mom is at home and Dad’s at work — and both of them are 35 miles away from me.<\/p>\n

We could trade faxes, but the originals are already barely readable.<\/p>\n

But: No worries: We’ve got DocuSign on our side.<\/p>\n

I set up the whole workflow: I sign, Mom signs, Dad signs — and then the whole package goes back to the lister, all untouched by human hands.<\/p>\n

Note that I set everything up so that I could leave if I needed to, once I had signed, and the rest of the job would percolate through the ether on its own. I love<\/em> this feature, since I no longer have to nurse documents.<\/p>\n

But, as it works out, the whole job, Tinkers to Evers to Chance, was done in seven minutes flat.<\/p>\n

I plan to write more about DocuSign when I have more time, but for now: If you don’t have DocuSign, get it. Your time is your money, and, in consequence, this is some of the best money you will ever spend.<\/a><\/p>\n

And now the bank can roll over and go back to sleep…<\/p>\n

 
P.S.: Just got confirmation that the lister has the documents. Twenty-two minutes total.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
