Closing · The Workflow

From signed contract to closing day, handled.

The hardest part of a deal isn't finding the buyer. It's the dozens of dates, documents, and follow-ups between contract and close. Riva reads your contracts, builds the timeline, and keeps every client moving.

AI contract parsing

Riva reads the contract so you don't have to.

Upload an executed purchase agreement and Riva's AI reads every page, pulling out the key terms, contingencies, and critical dates in seconds. Inspection periods, financing deadlines, appraisal windows, and the closing date are extracted automatically and surfaced where you'll actually see them, cutting hours of manual review down to a quick review.

Extracted deadlines: home inspection 12/18/2026, appraisal 12/22/2026, loan approval 12/22/2026, title search 01/04/2027.
How Closing works

One workflow that runs the deal for you.

Once the contract is parsed, Riva turns it into a living timeline, automating the reminders and tasks that usually eat your evenings. It starts with Create Client Journey, the first button on your dashboard.

1

Add your client

Enter their name and email and choose who you're representing. Their email is how they get invited into the journey on the Riva app, where they'll see every step you set.

  • Buyer or seller, one flow
  • Many clients? Bulk-create journeys in one upload
Create Client Journey, step 1 of 4: client name, client email, and representing buyer.
2

Drop in the contract

Upload a purchase agreement, buyer rep, or listing agreement as a PDF or DOCX. Riva reads every page and pulls the address, price, parties, and each contractual deadline.

  • Or import a listing link
  • No contract yet? Enter details by hand
  • Uploads never leave the deal
Add the contract step: drop your contract here, with upload contract, upload agreement, and import listing options.

Review, then launch

Nothing goes live until you've checked it. Confirm what Riva extracted, adjust any date, and choose the journey your client will follow from today through closing.

Address, client, deal type, pipeline stage, and purchase price, filled in from the contract.
