TL;DR: Real estate deals move fast, paperwork shouldn’t slow you down. Electronic signatures let agents send, track, and complete key documents (offers, listing agreements, disclosures, leases, some closing docs) in minutes from any device, reducing delays, errors, and drop-offs.
An electronic signature for real estate agents helps you get offers and agreements signed in minutes, not days, so you can close deals faster and reduce drop-offs. With BoldSign, you can send documents for signing remotely, track status, and keep every signature secure and legally compliant with audit trails and tamper-evident protection.
In this guide, you’ll learn why speed matters, how eSignature processes fit into real estate transactions, and how to use BoldSign for everyday real estate document signing.

Electronic signatures for real estate help you move faster across documents like:
- Listing agreements
- Purchase offers and counter offers
- Disclosures and addenda
- Lease agreements
- Closing paperwork (where applicable)
