Here are five tips that will get you started in your mission to become a more environmentally conscious and paperless real estate business!

• Manage Your Paper Waste: This is one aspect most businesses are trying to get a handle on. It's doing things like printing on both sides, realizing that a sheet in your notepad can be used for more than one meeting, and looking at one of the many great paperless real estate solutions available to you, like an Electronic Deal Sheet. loadingDOCS is a huge step for real estate businesses because it is a fully integrated solution that makes the move towards an efficient paperless solution even easier.

• Electronics Can Sleep, Too: You can save a lot of money by making sure your office is set up for energy conservation. Computers don't need to be on all day, every day. Put them to sleep or turn them off when you are finished using them. Switch your office lighting to a more efficient bulb like CFL or LED. And don't forget to turn off the lights when you head home for the day.
