REIV and Hutly now offer digital signature alternatives throughout Victoria

The Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) and their digital transformation partner Hutly have today released a comprehensive non-contact alternative for electronically signing official REIV forms and agency documents via the Institute’s member-only VicForms  platform.

Australia’s ongoing Delta outbreak has accelerated requests for non-contact alternatives for document signatures, according to Hutly Head of Product and Marketing Hamish Wyatt.

“While the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have had a significant impact on the real estate industry, the contactless signing in VicForms does double duty by keeping the community as safe as possible while helping agencies run more smoothly,” Mr Wyatt said.

REIV Membership Services Manager Matthew Griffin echoed his sentiment, explaining the lockdowns have increased the need for digital alternatives on documents other than just contracts and authorities.

“Our member services and tools like VicForms are helping agencies adapt to the new normal while staying informed and compliant,” Mr Griffin said last week.

Users of VicForms’ One Touch enabled forms can now use One Touch signing on the form and any attachments sent with it (like a Section 32).

For those who simply want to get their own documents signed electronically, VicForms subscribers can pay a competitive per-envelope fee to prepare and send documents using the ‘One Touch’ interface.

Mr Wyatt explained VicForms users have given the digital platform “some amazing insights to feed back into the VicForms product”.

Today’s release is in direct response to member requests for a more integrated signing solution that can be used by all areas of the agency.

“Their engagement allows us to deliver major improvements, like those in this release, at least every quarter,” Mr Wyatt said.

VicForms caters to agencies of all sizes, from those who use a few forms a month to agencies who use hundreds. All VicForms plans are no lock-in, month-to-month subscriptions and start from just $19.95 per month.
