Backhouse is a web-based real estate platform for agents, teams, and brokerages, combining transaction coordination with an AI assistant. It tracks deal deadlines, organizes documents and inbox threads, and drafts client replies for review; users decide what gets sent and when. Its CRM logs email conversations, updates contact records, and shows each transaction’s stage, people, and key dates. Clients can open a link to see deal status, next steps, closing date, and documents involving them without logging in. The portal also supports signing through a private link verified by phone code; each step is recorded and the final PDF is sealed. Backhouse checks files for brokerage requirement issues such as missing signatures, incomplete forms, mismatched names or dates, and absent addenda. Users can contact the assistant by text, email, or app, and text messages can include links, voice notes, photos, and screenshots. The listed plan is $79.00 USD per month per seat, with 500 AI tasks monthly per seat and additional tasks at $0.12 each. The first 10 days are free.
