REALTOR® members must purchase DocuSign® (it is not a free benefit). Some have confused the advertisements on C.A.R.'s Web site for a "free trial" with the product being "free."

Nonetheless, it is offered at a reasonable monthly price; the cost savings in paper, postage, and time make it a worthwhile investment for any real estate professional.  For more information on how you can sign-up for this product, visit: www.docusign.com/esignatures/ziplogix.
