RPost Registered E-mail®
Endorsed by The Illinois Association of Realtors®
The Illinois Association of REALTORS®
(IAR) is pleased to announce its sponsorship of
RPost®
“Registered E-mail®”
services for use by IAR members in their
transaction-related e-mail communications,
confirmations and notifications among clients and
other REALTORS®.
“RPost Registered E-mail®
service is the e-mail communications breakthrough
that REALTORS®
have been waiting for – a tool that provides
REALTORS®
with proof of all critical communications” adds IAR
Chief Executive Officer, Gary Clayton, “Registered
E-mail®
messages can eliminate the 8-page faxes that we are
sending back-and-forth.”
With the proof afforded by Registered E-mail®
messages, IAR has recommended REALTORS®
use Registered E-mail®
services to deliver notice for removal of
contingencies, record notice of price and status
changes, and retain evidence of notice for
residential property disclosures.
Several U.S. Federal Government agencies as well
as major law firms and insurance agencies, among
others, currently use RPost Registered E-mail®
services to protect the sender in disputes involving
e-mail content, transmission time, or status of
receipt. Symantec Corporation, a leader in Internet
security, is a major investor in RPost.
According to Rick O’Connor, a RE/MAX agent in
Woodstock, Illinois and user of Registered E-mail®
services, “Finally, REALTORS®
have the missing link which allows our team to
electronically complete a purchase or sale agreement
whether my client is across the street or across the
nation. I can now improve my closing time and
eliminate the need for paper transactions, faxes or
expensive couriers. Registered E-mail®
services are for the REALTOR®
who wants to be ahead of their competitors, by
offering an enhanced agent service to clients, which
reduces risk and allows us to confirm all written
offers and counteroffers including verbal
agreements.”
Registered E-mail®
messages also allow confirmation of replies to
e-mails using the RPost “Register Reply™ feature”
which allows a RECEIVER of a Registered E-mail®
message to reply and also receive legal proof of the
agreement. This is a straightforward way to take
advantage of the electronic signature laws, to bind
agreement for offers and counteroffers with simple
desktop e-mail. “REALTORS®
who want to reduce costs, reduce the time to close a
deal, and have a competitive advantage in their
market will quickly adopt the Registered E-mail®
service as a core method of doing business,” remarks
Zafar Khan, CEO of RPost.
IAR’s sponsorship of Registered E-mail®
services demonstrates the Association’s commitment
to remain on the forefront of innovation for its
members. As the National Association of REALTORS®
former Chief Economist, John Tuccillo stated,
"Technology will not replace REALTORS®,
but REALTORS®
with technology will replace REALTORS®
without technology."
