Real estate agent email signature software with one realtor email signature per office
Your agents write hundreds of client emails a week, and every one of them is advertising under your state's license rules. AutoSignature puts the correct license number, the licensed brokerage name and the disclosures your broker of record approved into each agent's Gmail or Outlook mailbox, and keeps them there after every rebrand, office move and new hire.
Flat price per brokerage from $99 a month, not per agent. Try the signature console on this page without an account.

The short answer
Real estate agent email signature software lets a brokerage set one approved signature for every agent instead of asking 80 people to build their own. It pulls each person's name, title, license number and office from your directory, locks the brokerage name and disclosure text so nobody can trim it, and writes the finished block into the agent's Gmail or Outlook mailbox. Brokerages buy it because license disclosure rules differ by state, agents turn over constantly, and a pasted signature from three years ago still shows the old office address. AutoSignature covers Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 on every plan at a flat price per brokerage, starting at $99 a month.
Where a real estate broker email signature goes wrong
None of these are design problems. They come from every agent maintaining their own block, in their own mail app, for as long as they have been licensed.
The brokerage name is missing or tiny
An agent leads with their personal team brand and the licensed brokerage name ends up in six point gray text, or disappears entirely after they redesign their signature. Several states treat that as a straightforward advertising violation.
License numbers typed from memory
A transposed digit in a license number is not a typo to a state commission, it is a false disclosure. When each agent types their own, a share of them will be wrong and nobody is checking.
One signature across several states
A brokerage that expanded into Florida is still sending the Texas signature from its Tampa office. The required wording is not the same, and the agent has no way of knowing that.
Unlicensed staff look licensed
A transaction coordinator copies their agent's signature, license number and all. Now an unlicensed employee is holding themselves out as an agent in writing, on every email they send.
Dead listings and old headshots
Banners promoting a property that closed in March are still going out in September, along with a headshot from two brands ago and a phone number for an office that moved.
Departed agents still signing
An agent leaves for another brokerage and their forwarded mail keeps carrying your logo and your license disclosure for weeks, because nobody thought of the signature during offboarding.
What should a realtor's email signature include
A realtor email signature should carry the agent's name and title, the licensed name of the brokerage, a direct phone and office address, and whatever license disclosure the agent's state requires. Here is the structure most brokerage compliance teams approve, and where each line comes from in AutoSignature.
| Line | Example | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Agent name and title | Danielle Okafor, Real Estate Agent | Display name and job title in your directory |
| License number | TX License #0000000 | A managed custom field, shown only for licensed people |
| Licensed brokerage name | Meridian Gate Realty | Locked in the template, same size rules on every agent |
| Office and direct line | Austin, (512) 555-0143 | Office field, so a branch move updates every agent at once |
| Equal Housing Opportunity mark | House logo or the words | Fixed image block, hosted and never hotlinked |
| REALTOR® mark if the agent is a member | Separated by punctuation, with the symbol | Membership field, applied only to members |
| Brokerage disclosure | Not an offer, no agency relationship created | Locked disclosure block, applied by licensing state |
| Listing or seasonal banner | Dated campaign image | Scheduled with a start and end date, expires on its own |
The point of managing these centrally is not tidiness. Six of the eight lines above are either a legal disclosure or a trademark, and each one is a thing an agent can get wrong on their own.
Do you have to put your real estate license number in your email signature
It depends on the state, and the states genuinely disagree. California requires the license number on first point of contact materials. Texas does not require it at all, but is strict about how large the broker's name has to be. This is the exact reason a brokerage licensed in more than one state cannot run a single signature.
| State | Rule | What it requires on an email signature |
|---|---|---|
| California | Business and Professions Code 10140.6 | The licensee's name, license identification number and the responsible broker's identity on solicitation materials intended as the first point of contact with consumers, including electronic media. The number must be set no smaller than the smallest type used in the material. |
| Texas | TREC Rule 535.155 | The name of the license holder or team placing the advertisement, plus the broker's name at no less than half the size of the largest contact information shown for any sales agent, associated broker or team name. TREC's power to require a license number in advertising is limited, so the number is optional. |
| Florida | FREC Rule 61J2-10.025 | The licensed name of the brokerage firm in all advertising. For advertising on the internet, that name has to sit adjacent to or immediately above or below the point of contact information, and the rule names email addresses as point of contact information. |
| Every state | Your broker of record | Brokerage policy usually goes beyond the state minimum, adding an agency disclaimer, the Equal Housing Opportunity mark and rules on team branding. Confirm your exact wording with your broker or your state commission before you lock a template. |
This is general information about published rules, not legal advice, and commissions update their advertising rules regularly. What AutoSignature gives you is the mechanism: group your mailboxes by licensing state, attach a different locked disclosure block to each group, and change the wording in one place when a rule moves. The same approach is described in more depth on the email disclaimer software page.
Rolling it out across a brokerage
Most brokerages are live the same afternoon. There is nothing to install on an agent's laptop and nothing for an agent to do.
01
Connect the mail domain
Sign in with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 as an administrator. AutoSignature reads names, titles, offices and phone numbers from the directory you already keep.
02
Add license numbers as a field
License numbers usually live in your back office system rather than the directory. Import them once as a managed field, and from then on each agent's number is typed by nobody.
03
Build one template per group
Licensed agents by state, brokers, and unlicensed support staff. Same layout and logo everywhere, different disclosure and license lines underneath.
04
Apply and keep it applied
Signatures are written into every mailbox. New agents get theirs on their first morning, departures are cleared at offboarding, and every change is versioned so you can roll back.
The mechanics are identical to any other company, and the step by step version is on the how it works page. Brokerages on Gmail should also read Google Workspace email signature management, and offices on Microsoft should read Outlook signature manager.
Who buys this
Independent brokerages, 20 to 150 agents
Large enough that the broker of record cannot personally check anyone's email, small enough that there is no marketing operations team to enforce a brand guide. This is the sweet spot.
Franchise offices
You have a franchisor brand standard on one side and state license rules on the other. A locked template satisfies both, and the independently owned and operated line stops being something agents delete because it makes the block too tall.
Multi-state and multi-office brokerages
Different disclosure by licensing state, different address by office, one visual identity. This is the case a single pasted template simply cannot handle.
Commercial real estate firms
A commercial real estate email signature carries specialization, designations such as CCIM or SIOR, and often a confidentiality line on deal correspondence. All of it belongs in a managed field rather than an agent's typing.
Property management companies
Property managers, leasing agents and maintenance coordinators need different signatures and different disclosures, and tenants need to know which one they are talking to.
Brokerages with fast agent turnover
If you onboard and offboard agents every month, the signature is one more thing on a checklist that gets skipped. Tying it to the mailbox means it is never a task at all.
Template file, signature generator, per agent vendor or managed signatures
Four ways brokerages handle this, and what each one actually delivers once you have more than a dozen agents.
| What you need | A template file agents paste | A free signature generator | Per agent vendor | AutoSignature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Correct license number per agent | Typed by hand | Typed by hand | Yes, from a field | Yes, from a managed field |
| Different disclosure per licensing state | No | No | Usually yes | Yes, by directory group |
| Separate template for unlicensed staff | No control | No control | Yes | Yes, by directory group |
| Agent sees the signature while writing | Yes | Yes | Depends on the tier | Yes, written into the mailbox |
| Listing banner that expires on a date | No | No | Yes | Yes, scheduled |
| Change history and rollback | None | None | Varies | Per template, with rollback |
| Cost as the brokerage recruits | Admin time | Free, and unmanaged | Rises with every agent | Flat per band |
The per agent model is where brokerages get uncomfortable. Recruiting 40 agents in a year is a good year, and with a per user vendor it is also a 40 seat invoice increase. Our bands hold at $99 a month to 25 mailboxes, $299 to 150 and $799 to 600, so hiring does not move the bill until you cross a band. The honest comparison against the big per user vendors, including where they beat us on list price, is on the Exclaimer alternative and CodeTwo alternative pages, and the per member model is broken down on the WiseStamp alternative page.
Real estate email signature questions
What should a realtor's email signature include?
A realtor email signature should carry the agent's name and title, the licensed name of the brokerage, a direct phone number and office address, and the license disclosure the agent's state requires. Most brokerages also add the Equal Housing Opportunity mark and a short line clarifying that the email is not an offer or an agency agreement.
Do you have to put your real estate license number in your email signature?
It depends on the state. California Business and Professions Code section 10140.6 requires a licensee to disclose their name, license identification number and responsible broker's identity on solicitation materials intended as the first point of contact, and that list includes electronic media. Texas takes the opposite position: TREC's authority to require a license number in advertising is limited, so it is optional there. Check your own commission before you set a template.
Does the brokerage name have to be in a real estate agent's email signature?
In most states, yes. Florida rule 61J2-10.025 requires the licensed name of the brokerage firm in all advertising, and for internet advertising it has to sit adjacent to or immediately above or below the point of contact information, which the rule defines to include email addresses. Texas rule 535.155 requires the broker's name at no less than half the size of the largest agent or team contact detail shown.
What are the realtor email signature requirements for a multi-state brokerage?
Each office follows the rules of the state where the license is held, so a brokerage operating in three states usually needs three signature rules rather than one. The practical answer is to group mailboxes by licensing state and apply a different disclosure block to each group, while the layout, logo and contact fields stay identical everywhere.
Can a brokerage control every agent's email signature?
Yes, when the brokerage owns the mail domain. AutoSignature writes the signature directly into each Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailbox, so agents see the approved block in Gmail and Outlook while they write and cannot quietly replace it. Agents using their own personal email accounts sit outside any centrally managed system, which is one reason brokerages move everyone onto company mail first.
Should unlicensed staff use the same email signature as agents?
No. Transaction coordinators, marketing staff and office administrators are not licensed to give real estate advice, and copying an agent's signature implies they are. Give unlicensed staff a separate template with no license number and a short line stating their role, applied automatically by directory group so nobody has to remember at onboarding.
Can I use the REALTOR trademark in my email signature?
Only if you are a member of the National Association of REALTORS. NAR's preferred form is all capital letters with the federal registration symbol, and when the term appears next to a member's name or a firm name it has to be separated by punctuation. Keeping the mark in a central template means it is formatted the same way on every member's email, and left off the signatures of staff who are not members.
Does it work for agents on Gmail and Outlook on their phones?
Yes. Because the signature is set on the mailbox rather than injected by a mail server, it appears in Gmail on the web, the Gmail app, Outlook for Windows and Mac, Outlook on the web and Outlook mobile. A shorter phone variant can drop the logo and banner while keeping the license and brokerage disclosure intact.
Put the right license and brokerage line on every agent's email
Team is $99 a month for up to 25 mailboxes, Business is $299 a month for up to 150, and yearly billing takes about 20 percent off. Every plan covers Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
