You know better than
anyone that when the time comes to close a deal, paper begins to fly! Offers
begin going back and forth and this can become time consuming and complicated.
As with many other industries, the real estate industry continues to move
towards going paperless. According to 680 News, in March of
2013, Canada’s PC Government made it clear that they believe it is time that
Ontario approve the use of electronic signatures for real estate transactions.
In fact, Ontario is one of the last provinces still manually signing and
closing real estate deals.
On June 12, 2013, OREA
applauded the passage of the 2013 provincial budget which included provisions to make electronic real
estate agreements a reality in Ontario. The budget included an amendment to the
Electronic Commerce Act (ECA) which will extend the legal protection of the ECA
to include electronic real estate agreements. You can view the Act here http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_00e17_e.htm
In September of this
year, OREA posted an update on the amendment to the ECA forecasting that we
will likely see electronic signature capability in 2014.
Some real estate sales
professionals have commented that they feel that the ability to sign electronic
forms will interfere with face-to-face relationships and engagement with
clients, while others have surmised that it could lead to an increase in fraud.
We actually believe it
will be quite the opposite. This amendment will certainly lead to new
technology and successes for real estate sales professionals across the
province. New capabilities will mean that you can do more on the go, service
your clients better and close more deals. As Henry Ford famously said, “If
everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself!”
With the introduction
of mobile applications, such as ViMO (Virtual Mobile
Office), real estate sales professionals will be able to use their tablet in a
client meeting instead of preparing and carrying the necessary documents ahead
of time. They will also be able to have the client sign their documents electronically.
Instead of going back and forth between the client’s home and their office,
they can send the documents to the real estate sales professional instantly.
This amendment is a
progressive step in the right direction and will lead to more success and
prosperity for all.
There are lots of ways on how we can achieve the success that we are dreaming of for our Property Investment Mackay. We better do something that will allow us to learn new things about our business to ensure that we will succeed in the future.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteNice blog. One important role of a "property manager" is that of liaison between the ownership or asset manager and the actual tenant/leasee tenant, providing a buffer for those owners who are desiring to distance themselves from their tenant constituency. Thanks for giving us this information...

Several individuals don't understand that purchasing anything specifically from the builder may not improve a deal. I am happy to have some exceptional brokers who were informative, responsive and accommodating. Much obliged for everything!

Nice post! Some land deals experts have remarked that they feel that the capability to sign electronic structures will meddle with vis-à-vis relationships and engagement with customers, while others have construed that it could accelerate an expansion in cheating. Thanks for giving us this information...
