Hi, my wife Maggie associate broker at Roche Realty Group and I really like Myfax.com for getting emails. I have had an occassional situation where someone's fax does not connect and the tech support folks at Myfax have been there when we needed them. Turns out some little used faxes may need a setting changed in the error correction mode. That is a hassle for the low volume user trying to communicate with you, but hey you have probably gotten some 6 MB scans page by page so it is in the same league. We find that we often FAX ourselves documents to get them into electronic form rather than scanning. Faster and also provides fax date and time stamp with our names. We have a high volume scanner at the office that is sweet, but work out of our homes and would use a combo print/fax/scan machine to scan.

We are slowly but surely getting to all electronic filing. The dirty little secret about electronic filing is determining a lexicon for titling files so that you know what you have and can keep it in order. Anyone got a system that they would like to share... Chuck Braxton, REALTOR, Meredith, NH

Chuck,

What type of files are you talking about? Just your transactions or something more? It also depends on how are where you store them.

If you use an online storing system and can control the name of your file, we always use the address as our file name, by street name first and house number second. I am also a visual person and LOVE color coding everything. I maintain a summary page spreadsheet on google docs and color code all of the deals in motion.

Active listings are Blue

Pending - Orange

Transactions/not our listing - Purple

Closed - Green

BTW: I have been an e-fax user and I have been completed satisfied with the system. I've never used anything else.

I hope this original poster goes back to find this discussion from just last week with all this information in great detail.

I like ufax.net. It is by far the best value out there for power users . It allows many more pages than the other systems.

I just had a weird situation yesterday though. I had to fax something to Charles Schwab on behalf of a client. Do you know that for wire requests, etc. Schwab will not take electronic faxes or scanned images and you must send those types of requests via a "real" fax machine!? ? I don't even own one. Client had to pay 2.00 per page at a local postal place . Crazy.

Hey Catherine

I don't even think they can tell if its an online fax/real fax just by looking at it. Unless the papers are not legibile enough they might get the thought that it was scanned. ODD

Warm wishes

@ListingMoves

well, no , if it was scanned (which it was) and electronically faxed (which it was) it was clear as a bell. That was probably their tip off. Either that or it doesn't put the date/time stamp at the top? Many fax machines do this, but I thought even that was a feature you could turn on/off. I don't know.. but it's a pain.. because now they say they haven't gotten the "real" fax. But they have the e-fax.

Really stupid, and none of the reps we've talked to knows the answer on this either.

UGH!

Hey Catherine

Yes I do believe that you can turn that feature off; so most likely it's the scan and fax that tips them off. That is the most illogical thing I've ever heard of on their behalf.
