Built by people who've actually closed the deals.
Most real estate software is built by companies on the outside looking in, then sold to brokers and agents who have to bend around it. Ratifyly is the opposite. We built it inside our own brokerage, for our own agents and our own clients — and only after it proved itself are we opening it to everyone else.
We didn't set out to build software to sell. We built it to survive a working brokerage — a full book of business, all the compliance, all the deadlines, all the clients wondering where things stood. The problems weren't abstract. They were the ones we lived every single day.
So we solved them for ourselves first. Contracts read and audited automatically instead of by hand. Every deadline across the contract, the loan, and the closing tracked in one place. A client experience that finally answered the question everyone asks: “where is my deal right now?”
It worked. Our agents moved faster, our files stayed clean, and our clients told us they'd never felt so in the loop. That's the part no outside vendor can copy — this was purpose-built by people who care deeply about the agents and clients on the other side of every transaction, because those people were ours.
Now we're opening it up. Independent brokerages and agents deserve the same infrastructure we built for ourselves — not another tool from someone who's never sat at a closing table.
Built inside a working brokerage, not by an outside vendor.
Proven on our own real transactions before we opened it up.
Compliance, deadlines, payments, and the client portal — together.
Make the biggest transaction of a person's life feel like one seamless thing — not a dozen disconnected ones.
A single home sale runs through dozens of specialists — loan officers, processors, underwriters, and appraisers on the lender side; intake teams, title searchers, escrow officers, and closers on the settlement side; the inspector; the agents on both ends — each working in software that never talks to the rest. That fragmentation, not a lack of effort, is why real estate is the last major industry no one has truly fixed.
Ratifyly exists to connect all of it — seamlessly, every party and every step — around the agent who starts each transaction and makes it happen. Not to replace anyone; to give the whole industry the connective layer it has always been missing.
The founders
An operator and an engineer — one who lived the problem, one who could build the fix.
Austin Cummings
Co-founder & CEO
I spent years as a top-producing agent before building my own brokerage from the ground up. I lived every problem the industry pretends is already solved: compliance that still meant a human reading every page by hand, agents chasing deadlines across email and texts, commission splits wrangled in spreadsheets, and clients with no idea where their deal actually stood.
Most people never see how tangled it really is. I ran an entire business on top of that tangle for years — holding all the moving parts together from my own inbox, because nothing on the market actually did it for me. Once you've lived that every day, you can't unsee it.
So I set out to build the tool I always wished I'd had — one designed for brokers and agents, not sold at them. It's the software I needed back when I was the one at the closing table, and getting it into the hands of the independent brokerages and agents who deserve far better than what I had to fight through is the part I care about most.
Zach Stotz
Co-founder & CTO
I'm a mechanical engineer who fell in love with the design process — taking a messy, real-world problem and engineering it into something that just works. A builder and entrepreneur at heart, I turn ideas into reality and thrive on helping others bring their vision to life.
At Ratifyly I lead the technical development team and own the technology end to end: the AI that reads every contract, the engine that tracks every deadline, and the infrastructure that finally makes all these disconnected systems work as one — so a brokerage can run compliance, pay its agents, and give clients a live view of their deal.
I bring an engineer's obsession with getting the details right to an industry that has tolerated “good enough” software for far too long — and it shows in the product: the parts that feel effortless are the ones I spent the longest making bulletproof.
