Tools We Built to Run Our Own Deals
Every deal across the platform’s ten operating companies eventually needs the same two things: a signature and a place to put the paperwork. Rather than route every closing and document exchange through an outside vendor, Kaufman Real Estate & Consulting built Ratify and Strongbox to do it directly, now available to the affiliates, partners, and vendors we work with.
A focused e-signature tool for closing and signing packages. Each signing request gets its own secure, password-protected link, with signer, field, and date placements built around how a real closing actually works rather than a generic contract template.
- Multiple signers per document, each with their own placed fields
- Typed signature capture with a full audit trail: name, timestamp, IP address
- Automatic effective-date fill-in once every signer has completed the document
- A finalized, signed PDF generated and ready to download the moment the last signature lands
A shared, password-protected space for exchanging and storing documents with affiliates, partners, and vendors, replacing scattered email attachments with one durable space per relationship.
- Each relationship gets its own space, with its own id and password
- Any party can upload or download files; everyone can only delete what they uploaded
- Every upload and deletion is logged to a full audit trail
- A lite admin console gives Kaufman Real Estate & Consulting oversight across every space
