How To Reduce “Versionitus”

For REALTORS®, homebuyers, and sellers, signing "the docs" is an emotionally-charged time. Often, all parties feel anxious; there are dreams, plans, and a lot of money on the line! Tired of the sleepless nights and frantic phone calls, REALTORS® are exploring strategies to reduce the anxiety of document signings.

2. Inefficiency. Working around scheduling/location conflicts, driving back and forth to chase people for signatures, filing and copying multiple versions of documents – these are things that take up valuable time. Inefficiencies can prevent you from focusing on your other clients.
3. Confusion. Which version of a document is current? Which documents have yet to be completed? Where is the final version of that document?
