Go Green - paperless transactions
Aiello & Associates is all about paperless transactions.
Illegible Paperwork: With the process of scanning, emailing, printing, signing… scanning, emailing, printing and signing again and when the final draft of the contract is printed, it’s practically illegible.
As technology has vastly improved just over the last few years, real estate and mortgage transactions have become more efficient and more technical and the advent of electronic signatures has made the process of signing documents easy and quick. This makes the process more efficient for the buyers, sellers, Realtors and all companies involved in a transaction.
Although real estate and mortgage transactions are not yet 100% paperless, as certain documents will still require original signatures, we at Aiello & Associates strive to be as paperless possible.
If you want to reduce waste, conserve resources and hep the environment, you can feel good about utilizing a paperless transaction. Paperless real estate and mortgage transactions are a way of the future, offering advantages that you cannot get through an old-fashioned paper transaction.

Security:
There are some people that may still be a little skittish about the security of paperless transactions. The technologies for password protected and secure signing processes have come a long way. Aiello & Associates has been utilizing e-signatures for several years now and we are proponents of technologies that make all our lives easier. We have a lot of confidence in the services that are provided by our 3rd party companies and we’ve chosen to make these transactions easier and more efficient for our clients.
With a paperless transaction, you will simply create a folder on your computer to store all your transaction documents in categories for easy access later. You would not deal with a large bulging paper file folder and will not waste your time digging through hundreds of pages to find what you need. And, if you ever need to print a paper copy, you can still do that!
In most states, the typical real estate transaction involves nearly 50 forms totaling at least 150 pages. When you multiply that by the number of people who will need the documents, a single transaction can use almost 1,000 pieces of paper and at least one ink cartridge.
Let us take it easy on Mother Nature!
