C.A.R. members may have recently read about a legal dispute between Lone Wolf Technologies (owner of the zipForm® product) and Glide Labs. This is a dispute between the two vendors, and while we hope the parties quickly and efficiently resolve their disagreement, C.A.R. is postponing the previously scheduled January 14 launch of Glide as a new member benefit to allow time for the two parties or the court, if necessary, to resolve the issues. 

To help answer any questions, C.A.R. has prepared a Frequently Asked Questions. If you have additional questions regarding the dispute, please contact zipForm® at [email protected] or Glide at [email protected] directly.

When the two parties resolve the issues, we will again announce the expansion of the Glide Member Benefit! You’ve likely seen that through Glide, you can now access all C.A.R. standard forms–beyond just disclosures and PEADs. With the postponed new launch, REALTORS® can enjoy a fast, simple and safe transaction platform designed for the modern agent.

• The ability to fill, edit, and sign all C.A.R. standard forms
• An in-app MLS data import that automatically pulls transaction data and pre-fills forms
• FREE eSign with Glide Signatures
• FREE Brokerage Accounts for designated officers to claim
