So what do you do? Tell the client No, you can not have a copy of what you just signed, wait till I send it to you? I've only had a couple of people that wanted copies at signing, and did not have access to email (they were blind buyers, literally). The fastest way was to rewrite the contract so they could show it to a sighted relative. Everything I do is scanned, and archived anyways and always available for reproductions. Its an offer on a property, not the deal set in stone.

I have a Gateway Tablet PC and I until recently printed to Windows Journal and then converted it to a PDF and it was cumbersome and often quality suffered.

Now I print to the also included Microsoft Note -- in the Education Pack part accessible from the Start button. I take the contract and print to the Send to note -- I start a file for that transaction/prospect and it does two things, I can maintain a digital file in one place and also e-mail from there easily.

If you have further questions ... PM me and I can help out. I've had my Tablet for 2 years now and just found this solution that's all encompassing.

You should always do this kind of paperwork at your office where you have the necessary equipment. However, one way around the "no copy machine " problem is to sign the original in blue ink and use black ink for the copy.

The agent ALWAYS keeps the original.

States that require an immediate copy be given to the client/customer will have carbons, or if using Winforms, will say whose copy it is on each page.

This is a very good way to have contracts. Your broker can get on the internet and review it and print it out, your client can sign it with their mouse and print a copy forthemselves.
Everyone, buyer, seller, agent, broker, title company and lender, who has a right to access the contract can do so with a password. It's the way of handling all contracts and documents in the future.
