Drafting and signing digital sales agreements

Drawing up a sales agreement in compliance with obligations

Drafting a sales agreement is an essential step in the real estate sale process. It is a document that formalizes the agreement between the buyer and the seller on the terms of the sale, such as price, payment terms, deadlines, etc.

Real estate agents have the advantage of being able to draw up a sales agreement directly without going through a notary. By drafting the sales agreement themselves, agents can control the legal and mandatory deadlines that precede the signing of the authentic property deed of sale.

The longer the steps following the acceptance of the sales offer take, the greater the risk of a failed real estate sale.

It is therefore essential for the real estate agent to take charge of drafting the agreement, to limit the delays that may impact the sale, but also to get rid of the notary's agenda.

When a real estate agent draws up a sales agreement, they must ensure that all information is properly communicated to the parties involved and that all the sale's terms are clear and precise.

Using electronic signatures and electronic registered letters to speed up the sale

The use of the electronic signature and the Electronic Registered Letter (ERL) greatly facilitates the passing of documents.

The electronic signature makes it possible to sign the agreement online, without having to print and scan the document and its annexes. It can be triggered instantly and does not require clients to be present at the branch.

It is important to ensure that the electronic signature used when signing the agreement is a validated eIDAS signature.

The Electronic Registered Letter (ERL) has the same legal value as a paper registered letter. It triggers the purge of the SRU deadlines the day after the agreement is received in the buyer's mailbox. Each time an ERL is sent, the real estate agent receives proof of the email's sending and delivery in the buyer's mailbox.

By combining the electronic signature and the ERL, the real estate agent can draft and have the sales agreement signed in record time while guaranteeing the security and reliability of communication between the parties.
