Electronic signature for real estate, from listing to closing.

Yes. Real estate agreements signed electronically are legally binding under the U.S. ESIGN Act of 2000 and your state's UETA, and under eIDAS across the EU. These laws give an electronic signature the same standing as wet ink when four things are present: the signer intended to sign, consented to sign electronically, the signature is attributed to them, and a record is retained. Document eSign captures all four on every document. Each completed contract is sealed with a SHA-256 hash and a PAdES-B signature and carries a certificate of completion with the full audit trail - every signer's email, IP address, and timestamp for each action - which is the evidence you would bring to a dispute. A few recorded deeds and notarized instruments are an exception, covered below.

Yes. A residential or commercial lease can be signed online end to end. Build the lease once as a reusable template with fields for the tenant's name, dates, and signature, then send it to one tenant or co-tenants who sign from any phone or laptop - no account and no app to install. Each signer is added in the order you choose, and the finished lease is sealed with a certificate of completion and a full audit trail. Annual renewals reuse the same template, so you are not rebuilding the document every year, and you can bulk-send a renewal or rent-increase notice to an entire building from a single CSV.

Yes. A purchase and sale agreement can be routed through every party - buyer, seller, listing and buyer's agents, and a lender as an approver - in the exact order you set. Each person is notified only when it is their turn and signs from a secure link with no account required, so an offer, a counteroffer, and the final acceptance move between parties without printing, scanning, or chasing signatures by email. You can see who has signed and who is still outstanding at a glance, and the completed agreement is sealed with a SHA-256 hash and a certificate of completion recording each signer's IP and timestamp - the proof the contract was executed as shown.

In-person signing lets an agent hand a tablet to a signer at the closing table. Hand the device to the first signer, who completes their turn; the screen then locks and prompts the next person, so a buyer and co-buyer can sign one after another on the same device. The envelope seals the moment everyone has signed, into the same certificate of completion and audit trail as anything signed remotely - no separate paperwork and nothing to rescan.

Yes. Signing runs entirely in the mobile browser, so buyers, sellers, and tenants can sign disclosures, leases, and purchase agreements from a phone or tablet with nothing to install. The signer taps the secure link in their email or text, reviews the document, and signs by typing or drawing their signature - the same legally binding signature and audit trail they would get on a laptop. This is what makes remote deals practical: a client travelling or in another state can complete their part of a transaction in a few minutes from the device in their pocket, and you see it land in your workspace the moment they finish.

Most real estate paperwork can be e-signed under the ESIGN Act and UETA - leases, listing agreements, purchase contracts, disclosures, and addenda are routinely signed electronically and hold up the same as wet ink. The exceptions are narrow: some recorded deeds, mortgages, and instruments that must be notarized may still require traditional or notarized execution, and the exact rule depends on your state and county. Document eSign does not provide remote online notarization (RON), so for any document that must be notarized or recorded, confirm the requirement with your title company or attorney for that jurisdiction. For everything else in the transaction, an e-signature with a complete audit trail is sufficient and defensible.

Yes. Bulk send takes one template and a CSV of your tenants or buyers and creates a separate, personalized envelope for each recipient, so everyone gets their own copy to sign rather than a shared document. It is built for annual lease renewals, property disclosures, and rent-increase notices that go out to a whole building at once, and each signed copy comes back with its own certificate of completion and audit trail, so you can track who has and has not signed.

Require identity verification before a high-value agreement opens. Add an emailed one-time passcode (OTP) so the signer must enter a code sent to their email, or set a per-signer access PIN that you share separately, so only the intended recipient can open and sign. For either method, the verification type, the time it happened, the signer's IP address, and their device are all recorded on the certificate of completion alongside the signature itself, so the proof of who signed travels with the document. This matters most on purchase agreements and closing packets, where the amount at stake makes attribution worth documenting. SMS one-time-passcode verification is coming soon as an additional phone-based factor.

Your signed real estate documents stay in your Document eSign workspace until you choose to delete them - nothing is auto-removed or expired, so a transaction folder you closed two years ago is still there. On Business and above, every completed PDF and its certificate of completion are also mirrored automatically to your Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive, into the folder structure you set per workspace (for example /Closings/2026/123-Maple-Ave). That gives you a second copy in the system your brokerage already backs up, right where an agent or transaction coordinator would look for it. You can export any document or its audit trail at any time, and nothing is locked to the platform.

Yes. The Free plan includes unlimited envelopes and two reusable templates with a full audit trail on every document - enough for a solo agent to send leases, disclosures, and agreements without paying or entering a card. As a brokerage grows, Growth and Business add team members, custom branding, bulk send, in-person signing at the closing table, and automatic cloud backup to Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive - but the core signing and the legal validity are the same on every plan.
