  • Why most use online faxing. Most real estate professionals look at an online fax service to save money on paper, toner, fax supplies and make their jobs a bit easier. The mobile ability to send and receive faxes is also a big factor in the decision to go with an online fax service.

  • Archive faxes - it's a must. Federal regulations require email and facsimile archiving in court actions. And there's the need to keep them in a readily readable format for all types of computers. Here's where another benefit of online faxing comes into play. Most of the services allow the delivery of the fax in Acrobat .pdf format. This is the perfect way to receive a file and have it easily and quickly filed into a transaction folder for permanent archives.

    When the .pdf file is received as an email attachment, just open it, print it and save it with a descriptive file name in the transaction master folder on your computer.
