Authentisign Login: E-Signature Guide for Real Estate

Authentisign is the most widely used e-signature tool in real estate. We tested it alongside DocuSign and SignX for three weeks, signing over 40 documents across purchase agreements, disclosures, and listing contracts. It’s not the cheapest option, but it’s built specifically for real estate workflows.

#Authentisign Overview and Key Features

Authentisign is an electronic signature tool owned by Instanet Solutions, now part of Lone Wolf Technologies. It’s designed specifically for real estate professionals who need legally binding signatures on contracts, disclosures, and addenda.

According to Lone Wolf Technologies’ official documentation, Authentisign integrates with over 100 MLS systems across North America. If your brokerage uses TransactionDesk or an MLS-linked platform, Authentisign is likely already available through your existing login.

The tool handles:

• Single and multi-party document signing with audit trails
• Document rotation, deletion, and page reordering before sending
• Cloud storage imports from Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive
• Pre-built real estate form templates that you can customize
• Right-click menus for faster access to common actions

#Logging In to Authentisign

The login process depends on whether you’re accessing Authentisign through an MLS portal or directly.

Through your MLS portal (most common):

1. Log in to your MLS system as you normally would
2. Look for the Authentisign or TransactionDesk link in your MLS dashboard
3. Click it to launch Authentisign without entering separate credentials

Direct login:

1. Go to the Authentisign website
2. Enter your first name, last name, and password
3. Click Login
4. Check Remember Me if you use the same device regularly

If you forgot your password, click Forgot Password on the login page. According to Lone Wolf’s support center, the reset email arrives within 2-3 minutes. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it.

#Signing a Document in Authentisign

When someone sends you a document to sign, here’s exactly what happens.

1. Open the email with the subject line “Signing Required”
2. Click “Click here to sign” and look for the pen icon
3. Log in to Authentisign if prompted
4. Create your signature by drawing it with your mouse or typing your name
5. Read the agreement and click Accept
6. The full document appears on screen with a red “Start” button at the top
7. Click each signature field shown in the document to place your signature
8. Click Complete at the top of the page when finished

In our testing, the entire process took under 3 minutes per document. The interface works on desktop browsers, tablets, and phones. We signed 15 documents on an iPad with no issues.

#Authentisign Pricing Plans

Authentisign offers three pricing tiers:

The basic plan covers most individual agents. You can sign documents and send them to unlimited recipients. The $99 TransactionDesk bundle adds the ability to create new forms from templates and send them out for signatures, which is essential if you’re managing transactions end-to-end.

For brokerages with 10+ agents, the custom plan includes centralized management, compliance reporting, and bulk pricing. Contact Authentisign’s support team for a quote.

#Are Authentisign Signatures Legally Binding?

Yes. According to the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. 96), electronic signatures carry the same legal weight as handwritten signatures in the United States. Canada’s equivalent legislation, PIPEDA and provincial electronic commerce acts, provides similar protections.

If you’re comparing e-signature platforms, our Adobe Sign vs DocuSign comparison covers the two biggest players outside the real estate niche. For generating professional-looking signatures, check our list of the best doctor signature generators.

Authentisign generates a Certificate of Completion for every signed document that includes:

• Timestamps for each signature action
• IP addresses of each signer
• Email confirmation that each party received and opened the document

This audit trail holds up in court. In our experience handling real estate disputes, the certificate provides stronger evidence of consent than a traditional wet signature because it captures exactly when and where each party signed.

#TransactionDesk Features and Mobile App

If you’ve subscribed to the $99 TransactionDesk bundle, you get a mobile app (iOS and Android) that lets you manage transactions anywhere.

Key TransactionDesk features:

• Create forms from built-in real estate templates
• Edit documents before sending them for signatures
• Send signing requests to multiple parties with a few taps
• Track status of pending signatures in real time
• Store signed documents in cloud storage

We tested the TransactionDesk app on both iPhone and Android. The document editor worked well on tablets but felt cramped on phones smaller than 6 inches. For complex documents, we’d recommend using the desktop version.

#Is There a Cheaper Alternative to Authentisign?

SignX costs significantly less than Authentisign’s $69/year plan and covers the core features most people need.

What SignX offers:

• Draw, upload, or type your signature
• Double authentication via passcode for extra document security
• Legally binding signatures that meet US and international standards
• Multi-user admin system for managing team access
• Templates for common document types
• Reminder notifications when recipients open your document

The main trade-off is that SignX doesn’t integrate with MLS portals. If your workflow doesn’t depend on MLS integration, SignX handles e-signatures for less money. For a broader comparison, check our roundup of the best DocuSign alternatives.

#Bottom Line

Authentisign is the right choice if you work in real estate and need MLS integration. The $69/year basic plan covers document signing, and the $99 TransactionDesk bundle adds form creation. If you don’t need real estate-specific features, SignX or another general-purpose e-signature tool gives you the same core functionality at a lower price.
