Electronic Document Signing

The SAND Group Realy Team offers our clients electronic document signing for nearly all of the needed documents.  The system that we use is called DocuSign.

Electronic signatures have the same legal effect as pen-and-ink, as long as they’re executed through a process—like DocuSign—that clearly establishes intent to sign and ensures all legal elements of proof. Signatures obtained through DocuSign are 100% legally binding. The DocuSign comprehensive e-signing process is fully compliant with all relevant legislation and guidelines including the federal ESIGN act, state laws modeled after UETA, FFIEC guidelines for financial institutions, and Gramm-Leach-Biley.

And best of all, only a web browser and email are needed for DocuSign document signing.

We invite you to watch a short sample video of how easy it is to use online electronic document signing with Docusign.
