Get leases and listing agreements signed the same day — without chasing initials
Residential leases, commercial leases, listing agreements, and disclosure packets pre-built with the clauses brokers and property managers actually use, with jurisdiction-aware wording for the state the property sits in.
ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS recognised e-signatures. Free plan, no credit card required.
What goes wrong today
The day-to-day contract pain for real estate brokers & property managers — spelled out concretely, not dressed up.
Leases and listing agreements stall in the last mile: the tenant signs but forgets to initial the pet addendum, the co-signer's signature is on a separate PDF, and the move-in date slips by a week.
Residential lease rules change constantly — deposit caps, mandatory disclosures, notice periods — and the template pulled from last year's deal does not know about this year's rules.
When a dispute over security deposit, damage, or holdover rent lands, producing the signed lease, addendums, and disclosure acknowledgements in a clean package takes half a day of file archaeology.
How FastContracts handles it
No magic — real product features mapped to the pain above.
One envelope for the full lease packet
Bundle the lease, addenda (pet, parking, smoke-free, lead paint disclosure), and the mandatory state disclosures into a single signing ceremony. Tenants, co-signers, and guarantors sign in the right order and each document is initialled where needed.
Jurisdiction-aware clauses for the state the property is in
Lease templates expose the parts that change by state — deposit caps, termination notice periods, habitability waivers that won't survive a challenge, required disclosures — so the lease matches the law where the property sits, not where the brokerage is headquartered.
Mobile-first signing for tenants and buyers
Most signers are on a phone. The signing flow is built for small screens: tap-to-initial, clear progress bar, and a signed PDF delivered to the signer's inbox at the end. Fewer dropped signings, fewer rescheduled move-ins.
Clean record for deposit, damage, and holdover disputes
Every signed document carries a tamper-evident audit trail with timestamps, IP, and the signer's email verification. When a deposit dispute hits, the signed lease and the acknowledged disclosures are in one place, not across three email threads.
Why FastContracts for real estate brokers & property managers
Purpose-built for independent brokers, property managers, and small real-estate teams who need state-specific leases signed the same day.
Multi-state lease handling
Deposit caps, notice periods, and mandatory disclosures are flagged as jurisdiction-variant so the broker picks the state-specific wording instead of defaulting to a generic template.
Co-signers and guarantors handled cleanly
Multi-party signing supports tenant, co-tenant, co-signer, and guarantor roles with joint-and-several liability wording where appropriate, each signing their own part of the document.
Initials and addenda in the right place
Field placement supports initials on addenda (pet policy, lead paint acknowledgement, smoke-free) so you do not get a lease back with the main body signed and the disclosure acknowledgement left blank.
Signed packet ready for the tenant's lender or HR
Tenants regularly need to send a signed lease to employers, lenders, or immigration sponsors. The signed PDF includes the certificate of completion — a single download they can forward without looking unpolished.
Frequently asked questions
The questions real estate brokers & property managers ask before they commit.
Is an e-signed residential lease enforceable?
In the US, residential leases are generally recognised as valid when signed electronically under ESIGN and UETA. In the EU and UK, eIDAS applies. A small number of jurisdictions have specific statutory formalities for long-term leases over a certain duration — if you are signing a long fixed-term lease in an unfamiliar state, confirm the local rule before substituting e-signature for wet ink.
Can I include the mandatory disclosure forms in the signing packet?
Yes. Lead-based paint disclosures (federal, for pre-1978 properties), mould disclosures, bed bug disclosures, and state-specific addenda can be attached to the lease as separate documents in the same envelope. Each is signed or acknowledged independently, and the completed packet is delivered to the tenant as one bundle.
Does this work for commercial leases?
Yes. A separate commercial lease template is provided because commercial terms (CAM charges, permitted use, assignment and subletting, build-out allowances, renewal options) are materially different from residential. Do not reuse a residential template for commercial space — the risk allocations are wrong.
What about signatures from a co-signer or guarantor?
Multi-party signing supports co-signer and guarantor roles. Each party is sent the lease with their own signing fields and their signature is captured independently, so the broker has a defensible record of who signed as tenant, co-tenant, and guarantor.
Can we save our brokerage's standard lease wording?
Yes. Save the lease wording your brokerage uses — including the specific addenda, deposit terms, and governing-law clauses you have already reviewed — as a reusable template. New listings generate from that template so every deal goes out with wording your team has approved.
