I've had the opportunity to take the basic and advanced traning webinars on RELAY. I really like what I've seen. Although, as Nathan said, unless you pay for the esign capability the entire transaction cannot be done electronically, it does save a lot of time for folks. I work with some agents who have out of state clients...this is a wonderful solution for them. Faxing/emailing documents....forms....updated forms....re-updated forms....etc. back and forth can be time-consuming, and increases the opportunity for errors. Using RELAY, your clients can log in to see the correct forms and you can even share certain documents with your lender or title company. It seems a lot more secure also, then sending a confidential document via fax. Also, it really helps you work with a Virtual Assistant as a Transaction Coordinator. She can take care of keeping everything updated for you and you look like a super agent to your clients!

However, having said that, if you are currently using a contact management program like Top Producer you already have a simplified way of transaction coordination. While Top Producer doesn't have all the bells and whistles that RELAY has, you can keep on top of your transactions and make sure you have all your i's dotted and t's crossed. Again, your VA can be a huge help in this area!

Just my thoughts as a VA....
