At least in Maryland and North Carolina faxed signatures are valid.

You need to fax the entire contract to them (after you've signed it).
Then they need to fax the entire contract back to you (not just their
signature page).

The faxing of the entire contract proves they received the entire
contract and you didn't substitute a page later (date/time, fax number
and page number on the pages).

But like everything legal-related, check with your attorney. It's a
simple question and if you've got one you use for other things he may
not even charge you for it.
