Document extraction for real estate teams
Real estate runs on paperwork: leases, purchase contracts, broker listings, inspection reports, mortgage statements. ExtractFox pulls the fields you care about — terms, dates, rent, deposit, party names, defect lists — into structured rows. Compare across deals, build investor reports, or feed your CRM. Every deal ships a slightly different PDF layout, so analysts spend hours opening files one by one to copy rent rolls, option dates, and repair estimates into a comp sheet. One missed escalation clause or wrong deposit amount in a spreadsheet can cost thousands at renewal — and there's rarely a second pass before the investor call.
Common workflows
Drop a lease PDF and get parties, effective date, rent, escalators, term length, renewal options, and key clauses extracted into a clean row. Build a portfolio-wide lease abstract spreadsheet without paying a paralegal.
Brokers send PDF listings with photos, descriptions, and spec sheets. Use the custom extraction mode to pull address, asking price, square footage, year built, and feature list into a comparable analysis spreadsheet.
Home-inspection PDFs run 30+ pages with embedded photos. Extract the defect list as rows: location, item, severity, recommendation. Hand straight to repair contractors.
Bulk-process the document stack at closing. Mortgage statements give monthly payments and balances; deeds give parties and recording details; closing statements give itemized fees.
Property managers receive monthly rent rolls and T-12 operating statements as PDF exports from legacy systems — often 40 pages with inconsistent column headers. Extract unit number, tenant, lease dates, monthly rent, vacancy status, and operating expense line items into a portfolio-wide spreadsheet for investor reporting, refinance packages, or acquisition underwriting.
Time savings
A lease abstract by hand takes 30–60 minutes per lease and is the most error-prone task in property management. ExtractFox compresses that to a single upload + 2 minutes of review per lease, with a structured output that's easier to QA than a freeform abstract.
Frequently asked questions
Can ExtractFox handle long, dense leases?+
Yes. Leases are read end-to-end by the model in one pass — no page limits short of the 20 MB file cap.
Will it pick out specific clauses I care about?+
Yes. Use the free-text 'describe yourself' mode to ask for specific provisions ('extract the rent escalation clause and the late-fee terms') instead of the default full extraction.
Can I extract data from MLS exports or Zillow listings?+
Save the listing as a PDF (or screenshot) and drop it in. The image extractor handles screenshots; the PDF extractor handles full listings.
Does it work for international real estate documents?+
Yes. Multi-language and multi-currency. Date formats are normalized to ISO YYYY-MM-DD where the source allows.
Can I build a rent-comp table from broker offering memos?+
Yes. Use custom extraction to pull address, asking rent per SF, lease type, TI allowance, and available square footage from each OM PDF. One row per property in a single download.
How do I handle HOA or condo disclosure packets?+
Upload the disclosure PDF and ask for specific fields — monthly HOA fee, special assessment history, reserve fund balance, pet restrictions, and parking allocation. Free-text mode targets the clauses investors care about without reading 80 pages per unit, and you can batch-process disclosures across an entire building.
