Recently, I had a client who lives in Canada buy a house from me without ever touching a pen to sign a thing.  Not only does he live in Canada, but he happened to be on a holiday cruise during this time. 

We had put in an offer on a home prior to his vacation but we hadn't heard back from the bank (it was a foreclosure).  Out of the blue I got an email saying he was the winning bid and he needed to have all the bank addendums signed and returned within 24 hours.  Luckily he had access to email on his trip, but no way to print anything out. 

I decided to use "DocuSign", and Electronic Signature program to get the contract executed.  All he had to do was "adopt a signature" and he was able to view and electronically sign and initial the documents right on the computer screen and within seconds, it was back to me to send off to the bank.  

He was very impressed with the ease of the signing and of course with me for being saavy enough to do business that way. 

I'm sharing this story because of a blog post I read from DocuSign  http://www.docusign.com/

This is such an awesome way to do business... especially when you need it done quickly from afar!
