Paperwork That Couldn’t Keep Pace
Real estate closings are high-stakes transactions. Every day matters when buyers and sellers are trying to move forward with a deal, but traditional workflows often add unnecessary slowdowns. For Homestead Title & Escrow, paperwork in the mail and hard-to-coordinate notary appointments were creating friction. They needed a faster, more reliable way to keep deals on track.
Proof eSign and Remote Online Notarization
Homestead adopted Proof to bring both eSign and remote online notarization into its closing process. The platform gave them a compliant, secure way to finalize eSigned documents while offering clients a straightforward experience. “What we liked right away was how clean and intuitive the experience felt,” Harris shared. “It gave us confidence that even clients who aren’t tech-savvy could handle it.” With Proof, Homestead could tell that Mediterranean seller: no need to wait. The documents were signed and notarized remotely, keeping the deal moving on schedule.
