Environmental studies have ranked Real Estate one of the top 5 industries for paper waste*, but with listing documents coming in from every direction and more expected with new regulations, what can an office do?

By establishing a direct deposit strategy, a real estate office not only reduces overall paper usage, but creates additional environmental benefits by saving on the use of fuel, electricity, ink & toner cartridges, storage space and valuable staffing resources. As more services - including banking - go online, offices are finding that their agents and staff are more comfortable with direct deposit as online billing becomes more common. The majority of internet, cell phone and cable companies already maintain an online financial relationship with their customers and are reducing their operating costs dramatically by doing so.

The advent of the home office has empowered many agents to maintain their own work schedule and manage their daily activities, including what to print and when to print it. Direct deposit will empower the agent to decide if printing is necessary and it will remove the time, energy and expenses inherent to printing from your office.

Additional benefits include:

• Recruiting - Many agents are coming from companies that don’t offer direct deposit.
• Vendors - Some service providers offer discounts for direct deposit payments.
• Consistency - Direct deposit can be automated with specific dates and times.
• Paper cuts - You’ll save a bundle on Band-Aids!

Going Green - It's more than just the environment. It's your bottom-line.
