CREA WEBForms
CREA has partnered with Lone Wolf Technologies to launch a new version of WEBForms®, which will be powered by TransactionDesk®. The solution will be rebranded as CREA WEBForms® and will be integrated with board / association MLS® Systems. It will maintain its current connections to the 3rd party applications, continuing to provide choice to members.
It is available to all members of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and provides access to a library of up-to-date real estate forms, contracts, and clauses, made available by the Canadian Real Estate Association, Provincial Associations, and local Boards and Associations.
In addition, WEBForms® is integrated with third party Esignature and Transaction Management platforms. Members using those tools can link their accounts to send forms to be digitally signed directly from WEBForms®. WEBForms® is still integrated with board / association MLS® systems to pre-fill forms with MLS® System information.
IMPORTANT REMINDER – The Legacy Version of Webforms will be inactive as of January 2, 2020. Any Transaction Kits that you wish to retain from the old system you need to MANUALLY move them over.
What’s New in CREA WEBForms®
