Some individuals who have gotten involved with commercial real estate feel like it was one of the best decisions they have ever made. The business of commercial real estate is a secret kept by those individuals who are involved in the world and succeeding at it. Some of the rewards and advantages of becoming involved with commercial real estate is far greater than the rewards and advantages of other real estate ventures. Any individual who feels as if the business of commercial real estate is something that they would not be able to succeed in is wrong and should really reconsider this idea. Anyone who has down a little bit of research in order to become more educated on the matter and has the proper amount of motivation needed in this business can succeed. After one has become educated on the matter, they may come to realize that the benefits of this business are much greater than the expenses associated with it. Individuals that become involved with commercial real estate and truly commit to it and succeed are able to enjoy a life that others wish they had.

The very first benefit of dealing with commercial real estate is that the individuals involved in this business are able to create a work schedule that is best for them and their unique situations. Commercial real estate enables individuals to either work full-time or part-time, but still obtain a level of wealth that they never thought they would.

Working part-time in this business can be just as effective as working a full-time job. Some individuals new to this business may decide to keep their job and work with the real estate part-time until their cash flow increases, then they commit to it full-time.

Full-time commercial real estate professionals are able to avoid dealing with a boss and get to be their own boss. They can work in the comforts of their own home and build their very own business from the ground up. A positive cash flow along with an impressive net worth can be built relatively fast.

An appealing benefit of commercial real estate is that individuals do not have to train for years and years and work themselves up the corporate ladder. The barriers to become involved in this business are few which allow individuals to dive in whenever they want.

One of the benefits that entice individuals the most is the amount of profit that there is to be had. The great thing is that with the amount of profit that can be earned individuals do not have to use a huge amount of effort. One commercial real estate deal can provide individuals with the same amount of profit as they would see if they sold 100 individual family residences.

No matter how many deals an individual makes in commercial real estate they have to use the same process every time. One of the key words used in the business of commercial real estate is synergy. It means that huge results can be had by making very small changes.

How much time do you spend on each deal just trying to get your contracts signed around as a real estate agent?

You’re faxing contracts back and forth, driving to client’s homes, meeting clients at Starbucks, running to the office at 8:36pm all just to have your buyers or sellers sign their contracts. Go ahead; count up the hours you waste.

Ready for the solution? It’s real estate agent software called Docusign.

Docusign, a Seattle, WA based company, has absolutely incredible real estate agent software. They have a web-based, real estate agent software system where your clients electronically sign all their contract forms through email.

Plus, the other party to the transaction can use the same electronic signature software, which saves everyone a pant load of time!

Here’s how it works…..

Let’s say you’re working with a couple of buyers. You show them a home at 6:30pm on Tuesday and they decide they want to make an offer that night. But the sellers are reviewing offers at 9pm. Your buyers won’t be by a fax machine and you don’t have the contracts in-hand to write them up before they leave for their son’s ball game at 6:45pm.

If you don’t have the Docusign real estate agent software…..

Do you want to run back to the office, write up the contract, drive 45 mins. to the ball game, have your buyers sign, drive 45 mins. back to the office and fax off the papers to the listing agent?

Or would you rather turn on your computer, pull up the contract forms as you normally would, upload them to the Docusign real estate agent software system, edit and fill in the contract pages as you normally would, put little yellow tabs next to each signature line that your buyers need to sign and email the forms to your buyers? This would take, what…..20 mins? Right?

Your buyers open up the email with the contract on their laptop at their son’s high school basketball game at 7:30pm. They review the contract, electronically sign where you marked for them to do so and email the forms right back to you.

At 7:35pm you get the signed contracts back from your buyers, call up the listing agent and tell them the offer is on its way. You also tell the listing agent that when they accept the offer, their sellers can just e-sign the contract and email it back to you, using the same Docusign real estate agent software.

You don’t touch or even look at a fax machine and the listing agent doesn’t need to be with their clients in-person for the signatures.

How cool is that? So cool that you probably didn’t even know this kind of real estate agent software existed.

Now you might be wondering if this whole electronic signature thing is legal and acceptable in the real estate industry. The short answer is “yup”.

Bill Clinton signed the “Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act” into law in 2000, which legalizes the signing of contracts over the internet.

Plus, the big boys like ReMax and Prudential are already using the Docusign real estate agent software. Time to catch up to your competition!

It’s probably a little hard to picture the whole process in your head, which is why Docusign has a demo on their site and a 30-day free trial. Once you see that, you’ll be hooked like Pete Rose betting on a baseball game!

The first time I used the Docusign real estate agent software was when I was submitting an offer for my buyers on a new construction home. One funny thing I hate as a real estate agent is wasting time, especially the time it takes to shuffle the contracts all over the place.

The builder’s agent had been using Docusign for a long time, exclusively. They required all contracts to be written up using Docusign because of the obvious reasons I just went over.

The builder’s agent wrote everything up in the Docusign real estate agent software, marked off where my buyer’s needed to sign and emailed the forms to me and my buyers.

I looked over the contract and gave the ok to my buyers to e-sign, who were in another state at the time. They e-signed on their computer and emailed the forms back to the builder’s agent. I got a copy and notification and we were all set.

After that, I was sold. No question about it!

By the way, with the Docusign real estate software, the actual electronic signature is nothing more than picking a “signature style” from Docusign’s selection and pasting that on the signature line. You’re not actually writing with a pen on your computer screen, although you can do that now with some laptops!

When your clients are e-signing, they’re also agreeing to the terms and conditions, which is the legal “mumbo-jumbo” to protect everyone and verify that they are the signers. That way, all the bases are covered.

So if you want to save hundreds of hours of work-time each year (quite possibly literally), you need to take a look at Docusign’s real estate agent software; before you go to bed tonight!

It’s one of those things where you won’t know how you got by without it in the past.

It is important that any school or institution that educates individuals is accredited in order to ensure the quality of learning and lessons that are provided to the students. Accreditations are necessary so that it will guarantee individuals the authenticity and the credibility of the school that they are enrolling at. However, not all schools are able to get an approval from the different accrediting bodies. One of these is none other than the Herguan University.

According to some, Herguan University is not yet accredited by any accrediting body in the United States. However, this school is considered to be one of the finest educational institutions in the country. Even though it is listed by the Oregon Office of Degree Authorization as an unapproved type of organization, it is still considered by many as one of the best providers of knowledge and trainings to aspiring engineers and businessmen just to name a few. In addition to this, HGU’s Master’s Degree in Business Administration, MSEE and as well as the MSCS are also already approved by the California Department of Consumer Affairs. For more details about Herguan University Accreditation and its services and programs, read on.

Aside from the great programs offered by HGU to the public, one of the things that the Herguan University takes pride of is their collection of skilled, knowledgeable and well experienced professors. One of these experts is none other than Professor ChethanaNegaraja. Dr. Nagaraja is the Department Chair and as well as the Assistant Professor for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He has a doctorate degree inElectrical Engineering at the University of Glamorgan in United Kingdom and has an MSc in Electronic Mobile Communication also at the same institution. Nevertheless, his BE in Computer Science was completed in his home country India at the Visvesvaraya Technological University. Another professor that works for Herguan University is Dr. Charle Lee. Dr. Lee is focused on the Operating System Design and Algorithms. He is a certified Microsoft Professional, Java Programmer and Java Developer. He obtained his Ph. D. in Computer Science and Systems Engineering at Oakland University in Michigan, USA. He had his Masters in Computer Science at Central Michigan University and his BS in Radio Electronics at Liaoning University in China. These are just two of the many excellent and well-educated faculty members of the Herguan University.

Aside from their excellent faculty power, Herguan University is also able to provide quality programs to their students. These programs are carefully designed in order to hone the potentials of the students and become globally competitive. This ensures personal development of the learners, which is very important to all successful professionals. These are just some of the reasons why students are still enrolling at HGU despite the presence of Herguan University Accreditation issues and dilemmas.
