CaryRealEstate.com Makes it Easy for Home Buyers & Sellers
At CaryRealEstate.com we’re always keeping our eye out on how to improve our level of service with home buyers and sellers. Most of us enjoy the latest gadget but rarely does something have as much positive impact as docusign. It’s a web based service that allows the creator of a document to send an electronic copy to a recipient and allow that recipient to sign, date, initial etc a document with a few easy mouse clicks. Yes there is a short process to accept/create your electronic signature but it’s super easy.
Worried about security? docusign has their act together – they’re even endorsed by the National Association of Realtors! The system provides multiple levels of security, along with tracking numbers, ip address etc. Yes, the state of North Carolina and the North Carolina Real Estate recognize this type of signature as valid.
Real Life Example of Cary Real Estate making life easier for their clients – last night we were able to send one email to our buyer clients vacationing at Disney – without leaving their hotel room the buyers were able to review 7 different documents (new construction purchase) they electronically initialed or signed every page in just a few minutes – upon completing their signatures the system immediately notified us and we had an executed set of documents, no hunting for the hotel desk clerk / worrying about the business center being closed etc.
We’re able to compose, deliver, receive signatures and file electronically without ever creating the first piece of paper! It’s perfect for offer to purchase sales contracts, buyer agent agreements, listing agent agreements etc!
End Result – it’s easier for our clients, better for the enviroment and allows us to operate more efficiently!

Home Seller’s Ask, Does it Go or Does it Stay?
Home Sellers are often confused or at least curious what goes and what stays when it comes to selling their home. Here at CaryRealEstate.com we take the time to review with our home sellers exactly what to expect and b
e prepared for. The best answer to what goes and stays “whatever the sales agreement between buyer and seller stipulates”.
Great. Thanks David, that helped a lot.Could you elaborate?
A typical offer to purchase agreement states that personal property goes with the seller and fixtures stay with the home – so what is a fixture? something that was personal property but now by the manner in which it’s attachted to the home it becomes part of the home and real property – wow – that sounded like an attorney talking (which I am not)
Examples of Fixtures – items that would stay with the home:
- ceiling fan
- dishwasher
- window blinds
- bathroom mirror
Examples of Personal Property that goes with the Seller:
- Refrigerator (unless built-in ex. Sub-Zero)
- washer and dryer
- window treatments
Controversial Items – they may be attachted but do not belong to the seller (leased):
- Satellite Dish
- Security System
Bottom Line – As a home seller it’s important to know what is included by default with a purchase agreement. That’s why we take the time to review with our home sellers!
