Are you ready for a faster and simpler way to sign real estate documents?

Hello, it’s Jay Campbell! Monica unfortunately cannot join us today because she is out there “making it happen” as always. As the resident digital media ninja, I want to discuss the digital signing document tool we utilize, DocuSign. Did you know with DocuSign, you can sign most real estate documents from the easy and comfort of your mobile phone, tablet device or computer?

Imagine sitting with us for ten minutes while we draft up your residential purchase or listing agreement and with the push of a button, we can send your document to your email via DocuSign so you can sign, initial and approve on the spot! Think of all the time and money you will save without having to print page after page of real estate documents. When you use the Monica Diaz Team, you will have the option to use DocuSign to make this entire process much easier on you!

Most of our clients shun the use of personal computers, especially when it comes to signing documents. DocuSign truly eliminates that fear with its simplicity and ease of use. Why waste time print out hundreds of pages of paper when you can just point and click your digital signature? Why not let us minimize your stress and anxiety?

It is important to note that not all real estate documents can be signed digitally. Certain escrow documents and trust paperwork still require a hard copy, paper signature. Rest assured, our team will guide you every step of the way to make sure this happens.

As always, if you or anyone you know is interested in buying or selling real estate, don’t hesitate to connect with us. Remember, Monica makes it happen!

Why a Trust?

Why a Trust?

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to my video blog! Today, I wanted to talk about trusts and why they are preferred over wills.

So, what is a trust? A trust divides ownership of a property into two parts.
1.    Trustee. The trustee holds ownership and control of the property.
2.    Beneficiary. The beneficiary holds the soul right of the enjoyment of the property.

Did you know that often trusts are preferred over wills when ensuring the orderly transfer of property in case of a death? Trusts can be executed immediately and can handle a variety of different circumstances. If you are injured or become incapacitated, a trustee can take over your finances.

Another great thing about trusts is the assets such as personal property are not subject to probate proceedings. This is a HUGE relief in avoiding expensive fees from both attorneys and probate court.

Trusts can also be changed much easier than a will. One simple notarized page from both the trustee and beneficiary is all it takes!

The BEST part about a trust, though, is getting favorable tax treatment! If you have a personal net worth of $100,000 or more, a trust will maximize your estate tax exemptions. It will also ensure at the time of your death, your heirs can inherit the estate and avoid any penalties and fees from our good friends, the IRS.

Take it from me. You don’t want your loved one to lose their home at the time of death to the state due to lack of estate preparation.

As, always if you ever know of a friend, a coworker, relative or even a Facebook friend that is interested in buying or selling a property, connect with us today!
