Start from the signed contract

Have the signed purchase agreement? Start your new deal from it, and ClosedEasy fills in the form for you to check.

Click New deal, pick the side you represent, and go on to The property.

At the top is Start from the signed contract. Click Choose file, or drop your files on the box.

It reads a PDF, even a scan, a Word document, or photos of each page, or a zip of them. Here, it's a phone photo of the signed page.

Reading takes about half a minute. Nothing is saved while it reads.

Then a yellow checklist shows everything it read from the contract: the dates, the address, the price, and each deadline, with its page.

Anything that was hard to read is flagged, like this handwritten appraisal period. Look at that one closely.

Check each item against the signed document itself. The address, the price, the acceptance and closing dates, and every contingency.

The form below is already filled in. If anything doesn't match the contract, fix it right here.

On The timeline, every contract deadline is now a dated step that follows the contract's rule, like three business days after acceptance.

These steps are marked from contract, with the page they came from. If you change a step's timing, the mark comes off.

Click Done editing to see every step with its date, counted from the acceptance and closing dates.

The buyers' names come from the contract too. Add their emails, and a mobile number so updates can go by text.

Review it, and create the deal. Each client's invite goes out right away, by email, and by text when they've agreed to texts.

Here's Jamie's invite, arriving by text, with a link to their own board.

The file itself is never kept. It's read once to fill in the form, and nothing is saved until you create the deal.

Pick up to ten files, up to twenty megabytes in total. Anything bigger is turned away, so leave out pages that don't matter.

You can do up to fifteen reads a day, contracts and addenda together.

And it reads the dates for you, but it isn't a legal review. You check every item, and you decide what goes into the deal.

That's it: drop in the signed contract, check each item, and create the deal with its dates already in place.
