How Houston Realtor Makes Use of Latest Transaction Management Software

April 5, 2014 billedge

Bill Edge at the State Capital

Houston Inner Loop Realtor Bill Edge is committed to providing the most effective and technologically current resources to his clients. He uses HAR ETS, a electronic transaction solution (ETS) which allows the buyer or seller to view their transactions electronically. Bob Hale, President/Chief Operating Officer Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) said “from listing to closing 92% of the consumers want to see transaction management.”  Bill was a contributor to the software’s functionality and shared his in-depth real estate knowledge with the development team.

The HAR ETS transaction management program allows buyers and sellers to track their transactions. Electronic records are always easy to find and available to be reviewed instantly by all parties to each transaction. Bill Edge, a tech savvy agent, has firmly embraced the paperless office as the most effective way to do business. With the aid of his iPad and mobile printer he has transformed his car into a virtual office where he can access nearly everything he needs. Since going virtual, his office expenses have decreased by 40% in one year. Laser cartridges and boxes of paper, previously purchased in droves are now a thing of the past. This is an ideal system for working with investors in other cities and countries. All the agents at Man-Edge properties use HAR ETS.

This new electronic transaction software began with Stewart Title in Houston, the developers of HAR ETS of which SureClose is a part. The SureClose® real estate transaction management system assists all parties to a transaction to view documents electronically, add new documents and share existing documents. Everyone with access can collaborate while viewing the shared documents they require.

HAR ETS Features Include:

· Real time transaction monitoring

· Electronic management of documents

· Sending and receiving messages

· Event notification

· Exchange documents and Order settlement services

· Parties to a transaction can access relevant information 24/7

· Ability to add documents to SureClose while browsing, adding files, email SureScan scanning

· Security features protect both buyers and sellers by restricting file access to authorized parties only

Benefits:

· Saves on back office resources

· Reduces shipping and courier costs

· Eliminates time-consuming tracking

· Enables parties to a transaction to collaborate

· Reduces paper clutter

· Facilitates a paperless environment

· With mobile technologies your brick and mortar establishment becomes less relevant and working anywhere is      possible

· HAR ETS provides clients with accessible and superior information

· Liability is reduced and transactions can be monitored for compliance with audit trails

When you eliminate the need for paper in your transaction process, you do more than help the environment, you help your business. With electronic transactions all parties can share important information immediately. When there are issues to be discussed, parties to the transaction can communicate them on the spot, and they can be resolved without messy faxing and mailing. Why waste time when you can get information whenever you want? Why spend time hunting for documents when you can search for them by name and find them right away?

It makes sense to use technology like your iPad, computer, iPhone and SureClose to collaborate on tasks, share information and be environmentally responsible by saving resources such as trees and energy.

Bill Edge and his team provide clients with technology to help them with their real estate needs, regardless of whether they are located in Houston, Hawaii or Helsinki. Savvy realtors who want to increase their ROI by lowering expenses and increasing service to customers will follow Bill and embrace today’s technology.
