Paperless Path Starts to Catch On

NEW YORK CITY-Completing a real estate transaction can be a veritable paper chase of forms and documents. However, the industry is becoming more receptive to collecting and viewing the information in the digital domain, Titlevest’s Bill Baron tells GlobeSt.com.

“There are certainly plenty of people that are technologically savvy,” says Baron, founder and president of the locally based title insurance agency, which developed the ACRISasap tool in 2005 and earlier this year launhed the Interactive Online Report. “They sleep with their Blackberrys and live on the computer. Other people are a little slower to embrace technology. As people become more comfortable with technology, they’re more likely to use some of the services that might have been less popular years ago.”
