Wednesday, May 11, 2011

- For Immediate Release -

Cupertino, CA - The Silicon Valley Association of Realtors(R) (SILVAR) and Instanet Solutions announced today that they have signed a multi-year agreement that will provide all SILVAR members the Authentisign(TM) e-signature service and the DocBox(TM) docu-ment management service. The agreement will also provide members with Doc-Box2Go(TM), the mobile version of DocBox. The fully integrated PRDS Forms on Instanet Solutions platform is already a SILVAR member benefit.

Authentisign is an E-SIGN and UETA (Uniform Electronic Transaction Act) compliant signature solution that is FHA-approved. Authentisign allows users to have virtually any document electronically signed, whether that document was originally in electronic or paper form. Real estate documents can be loaded into the system whether they were created on Insta-netForms or another forms program. Documents can be uploaded, emailed in and efaxed in, if only a paper document is available.

"We are excited to roll out these new tools to our members," says Paul Cardus, executive officer of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS®. "It gives our members a single system they can use to manage their transactions from listing agreement or purchase offer to close."

"SILVAR is committed to providing current and valuable tools to its members," says Joe Kazzoun, vice president of business and product development at Instanet Solutions. "Pro-viding its members a complete paperless business solution is a demonstration of that commitment."

The DocBox service will include the new Broker Compliance Manager, a tool that helps brokers perform file review online and ensure the legal compliance of those files.
