Electronic signature for real estate
in the United States.

Yes, in nearly every state. The ESIGN Act gives federal legal effect to electronic signatures on contracts, and UETA — adopted by 49 states, with New York using its own equivalent statute, ESRA — reinforces the same rule at the state level. A residential or commercial lease signed electronically holds up as evidence of the agreement between landlord and tenant.

Not the whole process. In most states, the deed that transfers title has to be notarized and then recorded with the county, and closing can involve state-specific requirements — in some states, an attorney has to be involved. What you can sign electronically on Kligrafia is the purchase agreement itself, offers and counteroffers, disclosures, and any accessory agreement that doesn't require notarization or recording. Kligrafia is not a notary and does not perform Remote Online Notarization (RON).

Set the document to Level B or Level C. Level B captures a government-issued ID — driver's license or passport — with OCR, and matches it biometrically against a selfie. Level C adds a short liveness video with randomized prompts (look left, smile, and so on) and anti-spoofing checks. With Level C you have solid evidence the person behind the email is real and matches the ID on file.

They don't need one. They get an email with a unique link, open the document from their phone, review it, complete identity verification if it's enabled, and sign. No app to install, no account required. Only the landlord, agent, or brokerage sending the contract needs an account.

Yes. Kligrafia's visual builder lets you create reusable templates with the fields your business uses — property address, rent amount, term, security deposit, and any special conditions. Templates live in your account and get reused for the next client. The legal content of the lease itself is your responsibility, or your attorney's.

The Pro plan at $9/month signs from a single user. For a brokerage with more than one agent, the Teams plan starts at 3 seats at $8/seat/month ($24 minimum). Each agent gets their own login, templates are shared across the organization, the audit log is accessible to administrators, and signed documents carry your brokerage's branding (logo and colors) on the Teams plan.

Before signing, you edit the template with the terms you've agreed on. If something changes after a document is already sent, you cancel it and send a new one — each version is its own event on the audit trail: created, sent, viewed by each signer, signed, completed, or canceled. If there's ever a dispute about what was agreed, the signed PDF plus its evidence report settles it.

Kligrafia is the tool your brokerage uses internally. What your client pays is the lease or management fee, not Kligrafia as a separate cost — they receive the email from your Pro or Teams account and sign from their phone without seeing a Kligrafia invoice. On the Teams plan, the evidence report carries your brokerage's logo and name.
