Meet Theo
Theo does the work a transaction team does. You do the work a license requires.
Theo is the intelligence the whole transaction runs on, and everyone at the table gets the benefit of it. He reads the paperwork the moment it lands, drafts every finding with the page cited, chases your own agents for what is missing, and re-flows the whole timeline when one amendment moves a date. What he can do for you depends on the seat you are in. A human approves every call.

Title
Every field is a proposal: a person confirms or corrects each one.
Everything on this page is working today. Where something needs setup on your side first, the sentence says so in the same breath.
Four hats. One of you.
- Compliance
Your agents email paperwork to the deal's own address. Ratifyly splits the packet, identifies each document, builds the transaction off the contract, and counts the deadlines the way the contract counts them.
The audit runs the moment a document lands, against your rulebook, and every finding cites the page it came from. Each finding arrives with a drafted disposition already written: an approve rationale, a request note, or a waive reason. Quotes are checked word for word against the document. If Theo cannot ground a quote in the file, he throws the draft away rather than guess.
Send a finding back to an agent and Theo reads what comes back and tells you whether it looks like it resolves the finding. You decide whether it does. When a hedged pass gets demoted to a warning, he looks again, and offers you a one-tap accept only when a verbatim quote backs it.
Missing required paperwork gets chased from your agent on a schedule, with the follow-ups spaced out. If the agent goes quiet for five business days, the deal escalates back onto your board on its own. Theo chases your own agents himself. Nothing Theo drafts for anyone outside your brokerage leaves without a person clicking send.
Deadlines reconcile every thirty minutes, so one amendment re-flows everything downstream. You get a morning brief. Closed files cannot be deleted.
And when someone asks you to produce it, pull an audit bundle for any date range, up to 50 files per archive, with every finding and every approval attached.
The audit does not make you compliant, but it means nothing reaches your desk unread, unsorted, or uncited, so the call you make is the only work left. A human approves every call.

A human approves every callApprove transactionEvery finding cites the page it came from, and the disposition is drafted before you open it. - The books
The disbursement sheet, the CDA, commission splits, the accounting exceptions queue, and the year-end 1099 view are running. Money rails get configured brokerage by brokerage, so we turn them on with you rather than shipping them hot.
Approving a payout consumes the agent's cap that cycle, and confirming it paid stamps the 1099 ledger. Two events, both yours, both recorded. Exceptions surface as a queue instead of a surprise in January. Brokerages banking on their own rails can generate an ACH batch file, once your originating bank, company id, and settlement account are set up. If you collect dues, they can come out of the same account your payouts go into.
This is the ledger your books are built from, not a replacement for them. You or your accountant still file.
Ratifyly never moves money on its own. Every disbursement is your directive, at your instruction, with your approval on it.

The disbursement sheet, with the split, the cap, and the approval that has to come from you. - Training
The teaching happens in the return. When a finding goes back to an agent it goes back with the page cited and the reason written, so the correction is specific instead of “fix the file.” Theo reads what comes back and tells you whether it looks like it closed. And because every finding is on the file, the pattern is there when you go looking: which agent, which document, how often.
- The Docket
The Docket is your brokerage on one page: what needs you, what is waiting on an agent, what is ready to approve. Ask Theo a question on it and he answers out of your live files. Ask him to do something and he hands you a card with the work already drafted: the chase email, the payout, the CDA, the accounting report.
You read it, and the send is yours. The payout card stops at your approval and hands you off to the desk. It never dispatches from the thread.

Every deal can carry a live portal for your client. Invite them in one click. They see where the file stands, what documents exist, and that the earnest money landed. When a document or an action item becomes visible to them, the portal emails them so they never have to log in just to learn what changed, and a shared document goes out attached to that email. They message you from inside the file instead of texting your phone at nine at night, and the message lands on the deal.

Your contract still leaves these open. The dates are when each one closes.
- Home inspection deadlineuntil Jul 27, 20266 days left
Until this date you can still act on what the inspection turns up, like asking the seller for repairs. Your agent can tell you what your contract allows.
- Financing approval deadlineuntil Aug 3, 202613 days left
Until this date you can still act if your financing doesn't come through, like asking the seller for more time. Your agent can tell you what your contract allows and what happens to your deposit.
Private and secure: only your transaction.
Your client's view of the same file, without a login to learn what changed. - The listing
Log showings and buyer feedback as they happen, for as long as the property is on the market. Your seller sees the same showing and feedback rows you do, which ends the weekly “any activity?” call. If it is on there, a person put it there. Nothing is scraped and no activity is inferred.
- The lender
If your lender runs an Encompass or nCino feed and the connection is provisioned, their milestones land on your timeline without anyone forwarding an email.
- Your money
Once your brokerage's rails are configured with us, your payouts live on your own page: what is coming, what your broker has approved, what has been confirmed paid, and where you stand against your cap. If your brokerage collects dues through Ratifyly, they come from the same account your payouts go into. Your brokerage pays you. Ratifyly never moves money on its own.
The short list of what he will not do.
- Theo does not schedule anything. He does not call the inspector, text the title company, or work out a time with the other side. Booking the appointment is yours, and we would rather tell you now than let you find out on a Tuesday afternoon.
- Theo does not write to the outside world on his own. He chases your own agents, and nothing he drafts for anyone outside your brokerage goes out without a person clicking send. Your client's own portal is the standing exception, on purpose: when a document or an action item becomes visible to them, the portal emails them to say so, and a shared document goes out attached to that email.
- Theo never composes or relays wire instructions. Wires get verified by phone, every time, with a number you already had.
Theo prepares. A licensed human decides. That is not a limitation we intend to remove.
A conversation belongs to the person having it.
Ask Theo something on the Docket and the answer comes out of the files you can already open yourself. What you asked him, and what he told you, is yours. Every conversation is fenced to the person having it, and the fence is in the code, not in a settings screen.
Your thread is not shared with anyone else, not summarized into anyone's dashboard, and not used to brief a manager before a meeting. There is no parameter anywhere that could hand your conversation to someone else; a test fails the build if any other part of the system so much as reads it.
The deal record is a different thing, and it stays shared on purpose. Documents, findings, deadlines, approvals: that is one connected transaction, and it is what everyone at the table works from. Broker oversight runs on that record. It does not run on your questions.
This is not a setting. It is the shape of the thing. Ratifyly is the neutral orchestration layer, sitting above the seats, so it can work for everyone at the table without working for one of them against another. Most assistants in this business are bolted onto a CRM built to report upward. Ask a vendor whether their assistant can promise you this. Then ask why not.
If you are the agent
Your broker sees the file. Documents, findings, deadlines, approvals: that is the record oversight is supposed to run on, and it is the whole of what they see. The ask-Theo thread is a broker surface today; when it reaches you, it reaches you under this same fence.
One connected transaction. One place the whole thing is true at once.
Theo prepares. A licensed human decides.
