In my area, all offers have to be written and signed???any suggestions on...

After meeting with the agent, and getting ready to throw offers in, the agent told us that in our area, the only way to put in offers is to put them in the form of the contract, and they have to be signed...No email, or verbal or anything like that unless the offer is excepted...And then if excepted, all is good as far as verbal or whatever...he even called the hot line for the real estate agents and asked them bout putting multiple offers in...And they said has to be in the form of a contract and has to be signed...So, does anybody have any suggestions at all on how we can speed this process up, or make it a little easier than the constant faxing, or having to show up and sign papers whenever we want to put offers in???Hope this all made sense and any help what so ever is appreciated as always...Thanks
