Houston Realtor Goes Green

Houston Realtor Paul Silverman of Our First Nest Realty has taken green to an all new level. In 2010, all contracts signed by his clients will use the Docusign electronic signature program. This will greatly reduce or eliminate the need for any printing, faxing or any other methods that waste paper, ink and energy consumption. Not only does this help the environment, it provides a great service to the client by not having to print documents and find time to fax or scan. This also helps by eliminating multiple faxes of the same documents which lose resolution every time they are faxed. Recently, he had a client that was on her way out of town and had no access to a printer, fax or scanner. Through the electronic signature program she was able to sign the contracts and submit them within minutes. “Anytime I can help streamline a process, provide an added service to a client and reduce my company’s carbon footprint, it is an easy decision to make” says Silverman.


Along with his commitment to being a green Realtor in Houston, he also has earned two professional designations to support this pledge. He holds the National Association of Realtors GREEN Designation along with the National Association of Homebuilders Certified Green Professional (CGP) designation. “Providing excellent customer service as well as stewardship for our environment is the mission of Our First Nest Realty.”
