Re/Max Crossroads goes paperless

The largest Re/Max office in Ontario and third largest world-wide has become the second Re/Max brokerage in Canada to become an iREALTY office, supporting paperless and green strategies.

Each agent based out of the office will have 24-hour secure access to their paperless documents and critical contracts needed in a real estate transaction, the company says.  Many iAGENTS choose to use tablet computers that allow contracts to be signed directly on the screen to negotiate and close a transaction.

“Going paperless and recruiting and training new and existing agents in online marketing techniques will completely change the traditional real estate transaction,” says Barney Johnson, president and broker of record of Re/Max Crossroads.  “Consumers will start to recognize the value of mobility and the environmental awareness that comes with a virtual office and will choose a Re/Max Crossroads agent who can deliver this quality and level of service.”

Johnson and newly appointed EVP Pedro da Fonseca say in a statement that the new approach “will create a new fresh and forward-moving company based on social networking, idea sharing and only the best of technology and systems.”

Re/Max Alpine Realty in Canmore, Alta. was the first iREALTY office in Canada.
