DocuSign and the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) on Tuesday announced a new partnership that should make it easier for Golden State agents to access the various documents they need.
The partnership means that C.A.R. documents related to offers, listing agreements, disclosures and more will now be available in DocuSign’s cloud-based platform DocuSign Rooms for Real Estate. The platform allows agents to create “transaction rooms,” according to a statement, to which they can add documents. When the agent inputs data into the transaction room, it auto-populates into all of the documents.
The rooms also let agents send the documents to clients for e-signatures.

The notion of a woman as a forceful investor is, unfortunately, a relatively new one. And as a consequence, women have a lot of catching up to do in the investment space, speakers at an Inman Connect panel called “Building Wealth: How to Invest in Real Estate” said.
Gretchen Pearson
“We’ve got to catch up,” Gretchen Pearson, president and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties, said. “I don’t know the exact year … but in the ’70s is when women could actually get a credit card on their own.”
“So we have catching up to do on how we see ourselves with money,” Pearson added. “If you want a seat at the table, you bring your big damn purse.”

Coronado has been sued by a real estate group for allegedly denying the construction of granny flats in violation of state law.
The California Association of Realtors, through its sponsored nonprofit Californians for Homeownership, said it completed a nine-month investigation of applications for accessory dwelling units, often called granny flats, and found Coronado had a policy on the books to approve applications but had been denying them anyway.
California, and many communities in San Diego County, have made favorable laws to allow granny flats in recent years as a way to alleviate housing demands. The units are typically small dwellings behind single-family homes that can be rented out.
