Materials for Electronic Closing Binders using Acrobat 9 eSeminar
If you attended my Electronic Closing Binders eSeminar, you’re in the right place! Here are all the materials you seek . . .
Traditionally, at the end of a transaction such as a real estate closing, we would present our client with a binder stuffed full of all of the documents associated with the deal. These “old school” binders were time-consuming to create and costly to distribute. Creating an electronic closing binder in PDF is a far “greener” alternative that saves time and enhances client satisfaction.
