Reality Check
After training, an agent made a call on an expired listing. The client wanted to relist
his home, but was spending the week at the beach. The agent asked if he had
internet access. He did and the agent was able to create a loop, send it to the client
for review and esignatures and the house was back on the market the next day.

Reality Check
While in class, a buyer dropped off documents for an agent. After class, the agent
realized there was one document the buyer didnt sign. She dreaded driving the hour
out to the buyers home just to get one signature. With eEdge, she was able to
upload the missing document, drag a signature line and email it to her client. She
had it back in less than 5 minutes and was able to go home and have dinner with her
family.
