Real Estate & Property
Rental agreements, signed remotely
Landlords and tenants sign from wherever they are, no meetings, no post, no delays.
Common pain points
- Tenants and landlords in different cities means every lease takes a week to finalise
- Printed contracts get lost in the post, re-sending costs everyone time and money
- No record of when or who signed leaves you exposed in any tenancy dispute
Documents in real estate and rental

- Purchase intent letter (voorlopig koopcontract)
