AI for real estate paperwork and closings

Answers · AI for real estate

Between contract and close, AI can track every deadline from the contract dates, chase missing documents on a schedule, and answer “where are we?” from the file instead of from memory. You only hear about what needs you. A person still reviews the contract and signs off on anything legal.

The work between contract and close

Inspection and appraisal dates, contingency deadlines, disclosures, signatures, and four people asking for an update. Most of it is tracking and reminding, which is what AI does well.

What AI does

It reads the dates from the contract and builds the timeline. It sends reminders before each deadline. It checks which documents are still missing and asks the right person for them. When a client or lender asks for status, it drafts the answer from the file for you to send.

What stays with you

Reading and negotiating the contract, giving advice, and anything a license or the law puts on you. AI reads dates; it should not decide what a clause means for your client.

Step by step

Pick one active deal and gather its contract and documents.
Let the AI build the timeline and check it against your own.
Turn on reminders and document requests with your approval.
Roll it out to every new deal once the timeline matches every time.

Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3604(c), listing what is unlawful. Anything AI writes for a listing, ad or reply is still covered, so every draft gets a human read before it goes out.

Questions

Does this replace a transaction coordinator?

It takes the tracking and reminding off their plate, so one person can handle more files. It does not replace their judgment.

Can it read scanned contracts?

Usually yes. Every date it pulls is shown for a person to check.

Is client data safe?

Builds run on your own accounts, with access limited to the people who need it.
