Fax for real estate: online fax for agents and brokers

Photograph the signed contract or upload the PDF from your phone’s browser, enter the title company’s fax number and pay one flat price per fax: $2.99 for 1–5 pages, with no subscription. Nothing to install, and a delivery email confirms when the recipient’s machine accepts it.

Purchase agreements, lender documents and disclosures, sent between showings, from the car or at the closing table. No fax machine and no trip back to the office.

Why does real estate still run on fax?

Because the people on the other side of the deal still receive that way. Title companies need executed disclosures before closing, lenders need signed addendums before funding, and escrow officers need counter-offers before the deadline. Many of them still take incoming documents on dedicated fax lines.

As the agent, you do not get to choose how they receive; you send it the way they want it. With HelpMeFax you can do that from wherever the deal is, instead of driving back to an office machine that is out of toner.

Upload the packet. Enter the number. Send.

Drop in the signed purchase agreement, the disclosures and the addendum as separate PDFs or phone photos; they are combined into one fax. Type the title company’s fax number. The page count and price are shown before you pay, and a delivery confirmation lands in your email and your fax history.

  • PDF, JPG, PNG and GIF up to 25 MB; up to 500 pages per fax (50 for international).
  • Save the lenders, title offices and escrow officers you fax often as contacts.
  • Schedule a send so it lands during the recipient’s business hours.
