RK eContracts
How RK eContracts work
RK eContracts offer a swift, secure and smart way to facilitate exchanges of high volumes of property contracts.
- The RK eContracts platform enables sales agents to use any smart device (smartphones, laptops, desktops or tablets) to record all contract-specific information in one simple form. The information is then populated throughout the entire document as required.
- Once generated, property specific RK eContracts are centrally stored and readily available to be viewed, approved and signed by all parties, without the need for printing or posting.
Each RK eContract is tracked with digital verification signature times.
- The status of contracts exchanged can be monitored, to keep the process moving along as swiftly as possible. Approver roles can be added to any stage of the process.
