Registered Email for Real Estate

RPost Registered Email® Service for Real Estate Agents: Finally, a new tool to cut cost, reduce risk, and speed up transactions!

RPost is setting the standard for real estate email transactions worldwide. The Registered Email service provides accountability and verifiable proof of the entire transmission (content, time, delivery & receipt), protecting the agent. It also ensures that each party knows the terms and conditions of a sale and has legally valid evidence of the transaction or agreement critical for insurers, attorneys, inspectors, and lending institutions.

In most real estate transactions there is an offer, counter-offer, and acceptance process. The longer it takes to close on an offer, the greater the risk that other parties might learn the details of the deal, market conditions will change, or the buyer or seller may back out of the deal. Real estate professionals can now avoid these risks by facilitating all correspondence during the offer/acceptance process with speed, ease, confidentiality, and accountability by using Registered Email messages.

• Eliminates need for paper transactions, faxes or expensive couriers. Legally binds agreements between buyer & seller.
• Simple, straightforward, cost-effective way to take advantage of electronic signature laws.
