I've said for years that my own office is paperless...Yet, I walk away from each Closing with a paper copy of an ALTA & CD (or HUD-1, if cash) and the attorney's courier delivers a paper check to my office!

It's only natural,  or so it seems to me to "claim"  certain things. Hmm,  I think I saw that written somewhere- - -I wonder where.

We are 99.9% paperless 

All of the tools are there but 100% is tough to reach. Usually the extraneous pieces are digitized by the end of each month. The shredder is my favorite office machine.

It is, but not all cliets are....:) 

Never going to happen. Does your office send and receive mail and Fedex? 

Everything's digitally received, stored, backed up but I'm partial to keeping hard copies as well.
In about a month I'm going to tell you a little story about why that's smart.
Plus, putting pen to paper is magic so I'm a note writer and doodler. Red blue or black ink, depending.

Pretty much. All our contractual paperwork is on-line. No one leaves me notes. Communication is generally via email. And I get my commissions via direct deposit.

Not quite but close to it. I don;t think it will ever be 100%

Paul, my company is pretty high tech.

FOR OVER 10 YEARS. PAPERs WERE INVENTED TO WRITE ON. BEFORE IT WAS BRUSH WRITTEN ON BAMBOO PIECES about 21 centuries ago.

I hope not.

They would like to be but are far, far from it Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, 

Being a sole practitioner, still not paperless. The paperless trend will continue 

99.999% yes, there are still times when paperwork is called for

I really find this a worthless idea. We keep paperwork for the State & continue to load up Docusign at a rapid pace. It's never going to stop I'm afraid.

      I still keep paper copies of contracts and forms, just in case the internet goes down and I can't reach Form Simplicity. 

     Also, I keep paper copies of all signed agency agreements, sales contracts, closing statements... if I get audited, it is a lot easier to pull those file folders out of the file cabinet and present them to the auditor.

No, I still need paper although it is greatly reduced by at least 90%

We don'teven pretend to be paperless.

Anthony Acosta - ALLATLANTACONDOS.COM nailed this one!

Paul, it's a work in progress. Still killing trees.

It will be some times before we are 100%

No, but close.

Yes. 

No, and I find if I write something by hand, I remember it.  We are judicious in our use of paper, it takes two years for us to get through one ream of paper for our printer. A

It's a noble idea but I don't think I'll ever run 100% paperless. 

I don't miss the 4 inch think files that I used to have to store after every transaction.

I think my office is more than me... some habits are just too hard to break

No it's not, and my home office is not either

 My wife and I hate paper. Closing docs are emailed and commission checks are wired.

We have the tools to be paperless, but many of us still print a few things.

No.

I've been paperless since January 2012.  All files are paperless.  

That does not mean I do not use paper.  I still like to use paper for lists, to-do's, etc. 

Hand written notes will never go paperless.

The power of pen to paper.

No and we have no intention of becoming so.  I still take paper copies of listing agreements and purchase contracts on appointments.  No need to find power/cell service/wifi/etc. and you'd be surprised how many times "I'll send you a contract" turns into "we changed our mind".

I don't think we as a species will ever get 100% away from paper.  I do most everything online and my escrow closing packets are electronic.  But when that phone rings, I still have a pad of paper and a pen for taking notes.  I get my paychecks on paper too.

No,  I had a friend just had her computer crash so not sure about going paperless.

No and frankly I have no plans for that.  I do scan and save a lot of things digitally, but I also still hve clients who don't have email or own a computer.  How in the hell does a paperless office help those people?

yes....  they're pretty good at that.... 

Paul, our office is very close to being so and it is great submitting all the documents to them electronically and not having to drive across town as we both work from home.  

Our set up for MB is different, so everyone is different.

We keep our files digitally but no we are not 100% paperless. My sticky notes and to do note pads everywhere remind me daily. -K

Not sure, I do know it is 100% Marco-less!

Except the commission check I receive, Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, 

We still have hard copies of all our contracts and forms.

Not with my non-tech skills.  I would lose everything with one key stroke

I can not say we are.

Ours is totally paperless (no files) and communication is totally through Facebook, text, emails and of course in person.

Paperless saving paper is about as affective as digital was as saving us from work.

We are pretty much 100% paperless, outside of the checks delivered by the title runners!  But I still have some agents who have to print paper copies of their deals, which is why we still have a copier.  And to accommodate clients who need to sign in person rather than electronically.

Sure! Even in the restrooms and believe you me; it ain't pretty!
