Fax is still a common way for real estate agents to send and receive documents (both from clients and from other professionals).  In fact, fax is sometimes the only way that counter-parties are willing to receive or send documents (be they offers, contracts, documentation, etc.). Because many transactions are time sensitive, it is critical that real estate professionals (realtors, agents, or brokers) have access to secure, reliable fax services in order to close deals.
An  online faxing for realtors solution is the best way for a broker to meet these needs because it offers so many advantages over traditional fax machines (see our articles on the advantages of online fax and fax apps).  Here are six ways in which an online faxing service can help your real estate business right now:

  • Send offers in real-time.  Sending (and receiving) offers in real-time for competitive properties or in competitive markets can make the difference between closing the deal or missing out.  With a mobile app, real estate brokers can even send an offer on behalf of their clients before leaving the open house.
  • Close deals faster.  With less time spent waiting to get back to the office fax machine, communicate more efficiently and close deals quicker.   Saving a day on each round trip exchanging documents can significantly accelerate timelines and get to an accepted offer or the next stage of the transaction.
  • ​Access faxes from your phone.  Access real estate transaction documents from your mobile device or tablet no matter where you are.  Answer client questions immediately because you have the documents you sent at your fingertips.
  • Keep documents secure.  Unlimited cloud storage of sent faxes and received faxes allow your transaction documents to be securely stored but still accessible from all your devices.
  • ​Boost productivity.  Move into the 21st century with an online fax solution that meets all your faxing needs.  Get a leg up on the competition with the boost to productivity and the time savings it provides.
  • Save on faxing costs.  Save on the cost per page of faxing by not having to pay for the phone line, the fax machine, the paper and toner, and the cost of maintenance and repairs.

Switching to an online faxing service is a no-brainer for real estate agents.  JotNot has been in business for over ten years and has millions of satisfied customers.  Sign up and try out the fax web app.

Businesses that still need to send or receive faxes now have many other options other than a traditional fax machine with a dedicated phone line.  In part 1 of this article we gave six reasons why the best choice is a modern cloud-based fax system that allows access through variety of platforms including mobile, the web, and via computer. ​ Here are five more reasons to make the switch to such a system.

  1. Ease of use.  A cloud based fax system is easy to set up and use.  Usually the only thing you need to do is to create an account and you can immediately start sending or receiving faxes.  Contrast this with buying a fax machine, signing up for a landline, setting up the fax machine and buying paper and toner for it, and the ongoing maintenance, etc.
  2. Security.  Faxes are often used for their perceived superior security compared to email.  However in a busy office, paper faxes may sit unclaimed for hours.  In fact, if multiple faxes arrive they may be accidentally picked by the wrong person.  Audit trails and per user access is often very difficult to achieve with shared office fax machines.  Online fax with user level access control can solve this.
  3. Number choice.  Internet fax service can give you a choice of local or remote or toll-free numbers.  Indeed you can have a phone number in a different city or state! Some Internet fax services even allow you to port a fax number that you already have to their system.
  4. Digital or traditional signatures.  With a digitized copy of a paper document, you have two ways to sign before you fax it--either sign the original paper document, or digitally sign the electronic copy.  JotNot has scanning and signing products that make this easy.
  5. Save office space.  Physical fax machines and the ink and paper needed to run them take up valuable table top space inside offices.  Web based fax services save you space in your office.
Along with the six advantages listed in part 1, these advantages make Internet cloud-based fax much a much better option than traditional faxing.  JotNot is trusted by millions of users, has been in business for over 10 years, and is a reliable and reputable cloud-based fax provider.

Faxing is one of the oldest forms of communication--it was invented by Alexander Bain in the 1843--but it is still often a business necessity today.  But a lot has changed in faxing over the past few decades, and now modern cloud-based fax systems provide several advantages over conventional fax machines.  Here are six of them.
  1. Fax on the go. When used with a fax app, cloud-based fax allows you to send and receive faxes on the go outside the office.  JotNot Fax even has a built-in scanner that lets you capture and digitize physical paper documents.
  2. Access fax documents everywhere. Faxes that you send or receive are always available electronically on a variety of platforms accessible via mobile fax app or a web-based fax app on your mobile device or computer.
  3. Environmentally friendly. Electronic faxes are inherently green and benefit the environment because they save paper.  Cloud-based fax systems also save you from having to buy a clunky physical fax machine that will eventually have to be thrown away.
  4. Organization. Online fax systems also let you categorize and organize your faxes any way that you want using tags or folders.  Electronic documents can also be made searchable making it easy to find and retrieve a particular fax.
  5. Save money. The total cost of sending or receiving a fax per page can be significantly lower with cloud-based fax once the cost of buying the fax machine, leasing a telephone line and number, the cost of paper, and the cost of maintaining and fixing the fax machine are taken into account.
  6. Ease and convenience. The best reason to use a cloud-based fax system is the ease and convenience it affords you.  JotNot Fax has a fax app for iPhone, a fax app for Android, and a web app for your computer so that you can do all of the above virtually anywhere.  It is easy to sign up and start using and there is no need to deal with a fax machine, the telephone company, toner, paper, repairs and so on.
