The problem
Every purchase agreement carries its own dates: earnest money, inspection, appraisal, financing and closing, and an addendum can move them all. A missed contingency deadline can cost a client their earnest money or their way out of the deal. If an agent closing 4 deals a month spends about 75 minutes on each reading the contract, building a checklist, entering dates and writing update emails, that's 5 hours a month of careful, repetitive work.
What the AI does
ListedKit's assistant, Ava, reads a purchase agreement from any state (even a handwritten one, the vendor says), extracts every date, party and contingency, builds a timeline and syncs the deadlines to your calendar. It drafts update emails to clients and the other parties, ready for you to review and send. Each deadline is recorded first by the agent, from the signed contract, in the brokerage's transaction management system or main calendar: that's the primary record, and ListedKit's timeline is a second check and reminder. You compare every extracted date with the contract, including how your state's form counts days, before relying on it.
A worked example
An illustrative example built from typical figures, not a named business.
A solo agent in Charlotte closes about 4 deals a month, usually 3 on the buyer side and 1 listing. She uploads each signed contract and addendum to ListedKit, checks every extracted date against the paperwork, enters it in the brokerage's transaction system, and uses Ava's drafts for weekly updates to clients and the lender.
Before
About 75 minutes a deal on dates, checklists and updates: 5 hours a month for 4 deals
After
About 30 minutes a deal checking Ava's timeline against the contract and approving emails: 2 hours a month
What it's worth
About $180£135€161A$260C$254 a month saved, against a $70£53€63A$101C$99 cost. That's 3 hours a month, worth $180£135€161A$260C$254 if your time is worth $60£45€54A$87C$85 an hour. Five credits a month (3 buyer-side deals at 1 credit and 1 listing at 2) cost $70£53€63A$101C$99 as a 5-pack, or $74.95£56.35€67.06A$108.20C$105.94 at $14.99£11.27€13.41A$21.64C$21.19 each. The bigger gain, not missing a contingency deadline, isn't priced here.
How to set it up
- Test ListedKit on a closed deal you know well; the first intake is free.
- Upload the fully signed purchase agreement and every addendum or counteroffer as soon as each is signed.
- Check every date Ava extracts against the contract, including whether your state's form counts calendar or business days and what happens when a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday.
- Record each checked deadline in your brokerage's transaction management system or main calendar first; ListedKit's calendar sync is the second reminder, not the record.
- Read every drafted email before sending, and refer questions about what the contract means to the broker or an attorney.
- Every Monday, compare open deals' deadlines in the primary record with ListedKit's timeline and the contract.
What goes wrong
- Software can misread a date, miss a handwritten change or fail to sync without any warning. The checked primary record and the weekly comparison are the control, not the reminder.
- Deadline rules differ by state form: some count business days, some move a deadline that lands on a weekend. Ava's timeline only has what it read; you confirm the rule.
- A listing taken to close uses 2 credits, so a month with 3 listings and 2 buyers needs 8 credits, about $104£78€93A$150C$147 at the 10-pack price. Buy packs to match your volume; credits don't expire.
- Follow your brokerage's own forms and file requirements. A timeline in ListedKit doesn't replace the broker's transaction file.
