Truths about Electronic Forms

Electronic Forms technology is commonly provided as "inclusive" of Realtor® member dues.  As with ZipForm, accessibility is made available via desktop, online, or from a mobile device.  ZipForm is currently used by 400,000+ Realtors and RE professionals, and is available to 1.4 million Realtors.

Electronic Forms applications include form libraries (standardization in the “look” of all forms), error-handling in form input, and the ability to minimize redundant data entry. Additional components for conducive paperless activity includes digital signatures applied to electronic forms, integration of forms software with the MLS, CRM and online transaction management (OTM) systems.

Transaction Management :: Consumer-facing Interface to Electronic Forms

If consumers engage online banking, they are ready (and expect) online transaction mgmt solutions. 

Besides streamlining transactional paperwork for brokers, agents, assistants, and peer professionals such as Title/Escrow, transaction mgmt (online) is the "consumer-facing" technology that highlights procedures that were commonly overlooked, undervalued, or under-appreciated by consumers...executing the volumes of transactional paperwork. 

Given the array of technologies on the market, transaction management solutions have the highest potential for growth in adoption-rates by real estate professionals. Online transaction management solutions, when adopted, remain the strongest differentiating factor between brokers/agents who provide such all-inclusive, online services to clients compared to those who do not.

ZipForm / WINForms & RELAY
RELAY™ allows the tracking and management of all information related to a real estate transaction from listing through closing; allows users to enable assistants, other agents or transaction facilitators to participate in the process; and features one-click integration with ZipForm® and WINForms Online®, the electronic forms software used by nearly 400,000 REALTORS® nationwide.

National Institute of Webographers is extremely proud to showcase these two products to candidates of the REW certification, providing every candidate demo accounts to these applications to experience their functionality and native integration; to further comprehension and hands-on understanding to today's Electronic Forms and Online Transaction Mgmt solutions.
