Where real estate time and money leak

What we hear on every real estate discovery call.

01

Listing enquiries sitting unanswered overnight

A WhatsApp or web enquiry at 9pm waits until morning for a reply, and the lead often moves on. An AI answers and books the viewing straight away.

02

Per-agent CRM pricing scales badly

A 20-agent office pays the CRM vendor more than a junior conveyancer, purely for seats.

03

Buyer and tenant data spread across vendors

POPIA data-subject requests get complicated when personal info lives in four SaaS tools across three jurisdictions.

How we handle the real estate edges

The sector-specific things we get right.

01 · Concern

POPIA for buyer, tenant, and landlord data

ID numbers, bank statements, affordability assessments. Special-category territory. Self-hosted keeps it auditable and in SA.

02 · Concern

FICA for trust accounts

Estate agents handling trust money have FICA accountability. We configure stack to produce the audit trail FICA expects.

03 · Concern

Cross-border buyer data

International buyers and SARB compliance. Self-hosted simplifies what would otherwise be a multi-vendor POPIA transfer nightmare.

What we bring to a real estate engagement

The services your sector usually starts with.

Now it's real.

Four things stay true, whatever we build for you.

  • Your hardware or ours

    On your server, on ours, or on a machine in your office running an open model. Your call.

  • A person approves what matters

    Payments, deletions and anything going to a client wait for a yes from you or someone you choose.

  • Every action logged

    You can see what it read, what it did and why, for every task.

  • Built with POPIA in mind

    We set it up the way we set up any system that handles personal information, with the same care our compliance work gets.

Questions people ask

Does the AI negotiate price or terms on its own?

No, it answers enquiries, books viewings and drafts documents. Price and terms are always agreed by the agent.

How does this help POPIA for buyer and tenant data?

ID numbers and affordability documents stay on infrastructure you control, with an auditable trail for data-subject requests.

Can it check FICA documents for trust account compliance?

Yes, it flags missing or incomplete FICA documents from a new tenant or buyer before the file goes to trust accounting.

What about international buyers and SARB rules?

Self-hosted simplifies what would otherwise be a multi-vendor POPIA transfer question for cross-border buyer data.
