Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions (FNRES) a division of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS), and VREO, Inc. (www.vreo.com), a leading real estate software company, today announced that they have launched a joint initiative to spread adoption of electronic signatures by real estate brokers and agents.
The centerpiece of the effort is bundling VREO’s Real Estate Dashboard® e-signature software for Tablet PCs and FNRES’ TransactionPoint® transaction and document management platform.
"Electronic signatures are the last piece of the paperless real estate puzzle," said Walt Clark, senior vice president of product management for FNRES. "Thousands of TransactionPoint® users are already managing transactions online and we are excited that we are now able to deliver them an industry leading solution for signing as well."
"TransactionPoint® is a perfect complement to Real Estate Dashboard®" said Brian Boero, VREO’s chief executive. "Together these products represent a paperless solution that starts with the signature and extends through the entire transaction process."
Real Estate Dashboard® software lets real estate professionals and their clients electronically sign documents as easily as one signs for an overnight package or credit card purchase. TransactionPoint® is a Web-based platform for managing all aspects of the real estate transaction process. Documents are easily moved between the two products.
