E-Signature is relatively normal these days. If there is a major concern, you can always hire an attorney to review the transaction. Keith Jean-Pierre Managing Principal The Dapper Agents Operations In: NY, NJ, FL & CA

E-signatures are legally valid in Florida under the Florida Electronic Signature Act and the federal E-SIGN Act, so signing a document electronically is not inherently a problem. The concern is always about what you are signing, not how you are signing it. In Brooksville and across Hernando County, Florida, investor and flipper activity is common, and many operate professionally with standard contracts. However, some investor contracts contain clauses that are not in the standard Florida AS IS contract, including assignment clauses that allow the buyer to sell your contract to a third party before closing, which can complicate or derail your sale. Before signing anything presented by a flipper or investor, read every clause carefully and consider having a Florida real estate attorney review it, especially any assignment, inspection waiver, or earnest money language. Make sure the deposit is substantial and held in a reputable escrow account. Protecting yourself at contract signing is far easier than resolving problems after you have a signed agreement.
