Selling homes in sunny Miami, Florida, means I get to process a lot of documents. An awful lot. This would ordinarily mean that I am using a lot of actual paper. But I try to be responsible and go digital whenever possible.
Just tonight I emailed a listing agreement to one of my sellers and sent it using Transaction Desk. It's a tool made available to us by the Florida Association of Realtors (also known as FAR to it's members). Of course, I sent myself a copy as well. As I was reading the copy I received I noticed a little Go Green, Go Paperless image and it caught my eye.
It allowed me to see what an impact we are having by using tools such as this one to go green. I thought it was neat l that it showed actual pages saved as well as CO2, water and trees saved. It made my small gesture viable. It wasn't so small any more!
The program also allows the documents to be signed digitally and be returned to me so we can keep everything totally paperless.
Nice going FAR & Instanet!
