RealPage has developed an eSignature technology and process that allows applicants to digitally execute a document over the web. Electronic Signature Authorization (ESA) uses a secure algorithm that binds the document signer identification and authentication, and the document thumbprint, into a single unique identifying number called the “ESA ID.” When deconstructed, it yields information about the signer, the authentication of the signer, the time & location of the signing event, and the versions of the document prior to signing and after signing.
The digitally stamped ESA seal signifies that a document is digitally signed by an individual and that it is legally enforceable.
The eSignature process
The eSignature process presents a simple, secure, and quick way for applicants to complete the lease 24/7. When a password-protected account and personal information is entered through an online leasing process, a prospect can review a PDF version of their lease application, which cannot be edited. In order to complete the lease using the Internet, the applicant authenticates an electronic signature with three easy steps. The applicant re-enters their password into the system, checks the “I understand and agree” button and selects the “Sign Now” button. Completion of these steps momentarily unlocks the official lease PDF, allowing for the insertion of the ESA seal indicating who signed the form and when. The lease document is immediately relocked and stored as a new legally binding agreement.
