TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – June 9, 2014) – Teranet, the exclusive provider of online property search and registration in Ontario, and service provider to over 30,000 Ontario real estate sales professionals, is proud to announce an agreement with the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) to license OREA Standard Forms and Clauses. Teranet will offer electronic forms and digital signature capabilities through its recently launched mobile solution, ViMO (Virtual Mobile Office), to more than 58,000 OREA members.
ViMO is a one-of-a-kind lead-to-close solution that enables real estate sales professionals to manage transactions and service clients. In addition to electronic forms, ViMO provides real estate professionals the ability to advise clients with information from listings, prior sales, demographics, neighbourhood values, and growth trends.
ViMO’s electronic forms feature allows real estate sales professionals to create, sign, and manage electronic forms within the app, right from their iPad. The e-forms “Auto-Population” will minimize paperwork time and increase accuracy by automatically importing key data fields, such as owners’ names, address, and legal description data as sourced from the Electronic Land Registry System. All this plus the ability to email forms to their clients while on-the-go will revolutionize the forms workflow.
“As a provincial organization, OREA partners with leading technology companies that offer new ways for our members to be more efficient and achieve their business objectives,” says Costa Poulopoulos, president, OREA. “We know that most home buyers and sellers are connected to either a smart-phone, tablet or computer, thus online transaction platforms are the wave of the future.”
By managing the transaction with ViMO, real estate sales professionals will be able to monitor registrations on title for the duration of the listing agreement. They can also notify clients of any mortgages, liens, easements, power of attorney, or other registrations that could interfere with the transfer before the closing date.
“We are excited about how ViMO will enable real estate sales professionals, and how our partnership with OREA on electronic forms will play a significant role,” said Lawrence Franco, President of Value Added Commercial Solutions at Teranet. “We believe that there is a need to create greater efficiencies and tools to support the industry, and this partnership will support innovation and change.”
ViMO helps real estate sales professionals do more on the go, remain on the cutting edge and stay connected with clients and prospects.
ViMO is the mobile app for the iPad that the real estate industry in Canada has been waiting for!
