1. Getting Started

Welcome to EstatePilot! After you register, you automatically get a 30-day free trial with full access to every feature. No credit card required until your trial ends.

Once logged in, you'll land on your Dashboard — your home base. From here you can:

2. Setting Up Your Profile

Before creating your first transaction, take a minute to set up your Profile. This saves you time on every deal because your agent and broker information will be automatically filled into each new transaction.

1

Go to Your Profile

Click Profile in the top navigation menu.

2

Fill In Your Agent Information

Click the pencil icon to edit. Enter your full name, license number, email, phone, team name, and MLS ID. This information gets placed on the correct side of every form based on your role in the transaction (buyer's agent or seller's agent).

3

Fill In Your Broker Information

Click the pencil icon on the Broker section. Enter your broker's firm name, license number, address, phone, and email. This fills the broker section of your forms automatically.

4

Upload a Profile Picture (Optional)

Click the pencil icon on the top section to add a profile picture and display name.

Tip: Set up your profile once and forget about it. Every time you create a new transaction, your agent and broker details are automatically placed on the correct side of the Master Data Form — buyer side or seller side — depending on the client type you select.

Your profile also includes a Transaction History section at the bottom where you can see all your transactions, edit them, or delete them — just like on the Dashboard.

3. Creating a Transaction

A transaction is the container for everything related to a single real estate deal.

1

Click "Create New Transaction"

On your Dashboard, click the blue Create New Transaction button.

2

Enter the Transaction Details

Fill in the client name (the person you are representing), select the date, and choose whether you are the buyer's agent or seller's agent. This tells the system which side of the transaction you're on.

3

You're In!

After creating the transaction, you'll be taken to the Transaction Dashboard where all the magic happens.

Tip: The client type you select (buyer or seller) determines how the system populates your forms. Make sure you select the correct one!

4. Uploading Documents

This is where EstatePilot saves you hours of work. Upload your contracts, amendments, addenda — anything related to the deal — and the AI will automatically extract the key data.

1

Go to the "Extracted Data" Tab

On your Transaction Dashboard, click the Extracted Data tab.

2

Upload Your Files

Drag and drop or click to upload your documents. Supported formats include PDF, Word (.docx), and text files.

3

Wait for Extraction

The AI reads through your documents and extracts all relevant transaction data — buyer/seller info, property details, financial terms, dates, and more. This usually takes just a few seconds.

Tip: Upload the main contract first (e.g., TREC 1-4 Residential Contract). Then upload amendments and addenda. The system is smart enough to handle multiple documents and detect when new information conflicts with existing data.

5. Reviewing & Editing Extracted Data

After extraction, the AI-populated data appears in the Master Data section. This is the single source of truth for your entire transaction.

1

Review the Data

Scroll through the extracted fields. Everything is organized into logical sections: buyer info, seller info, property details, financial terms, dates, and more.

2

Edit Anything That Needs Fixing

Click on any field to edit it. The AI is very accurate, but you should always verify the key numbers — sales price, earnest money, option fee, closing date — before proceeding.

3

Save Your Changes

Click Save to commit your edits. All saved data flows directly into your forms.

Important: Always double-check financial figures and dates. The AI extracts data from your documents with high accuracy, but you are ultimately responsible for verifying the information before sending documents for signature.

6. Handling Conflicts

EstatePilot watches for data inconsistencies in two places: during document uploads and when you edit form fields.

Document Upload Conflicts

When you upload multiple documents (e.g., an original contract and then an amendment), the system may detect conflicting information — like a different closing date or sales price.

1

Conflicts Are Flagged Automatically

When conflicts are detected, a conflict resolution panel appears showing you exactly what changed and which document each value came from.

2

Choose How to Resolve

For each conflict, you can: Accept the new value (from the latest document), keep the original value, or enter a custom value.

3

Save Your Resolutions

Once you've resolved all conflicts, save. The Master Data updates accordingly.

Tip: Amendments generally supersede the original contract. When in doubt, accept the values from the most recent document.

Form-Edit Conflicts

When you edit a field in Document Management that was auto-filled from the Master Form, the system detects the change and presents you with a choice:

Why this matters: Without this safeguard, changing a buyer's name on one form could leave 52 other forms with the old name — creating a silent inconsistency across your transaction. The system makes sure you're always in control of how changes propagate.

7. Document Management & Auto-Fill

The Document Management tab is where you see all your TREC and TAR forms. The system automatically calculates how many fields in each form can be filled from your Master Data.

Understanding the Columns

Viewing & Editing a Form

1

Click on Any Form

Click a form row to open the PDF viewer. You'll see the form with your transaction data automatically filled in. Auto-filled fields are highlighted in purple so you can see what came from your Master Data.

2

Edit Any Field

Click on any field to edit it. If you change a value that was auto-filled from the Master Form, the system will ask you how to handle the difference — keep the Master Form value, apply your change to this form only, or update the Master Form so all forms reflect the new value. (See Handling Conflicts for details.)

3

Save Your Entries

Click Save to store your changes. Next time you open the form, everything is preserved — your edits are applied on top of the auto-filled data.

Tip: Fields that haven't been auto-filled from the Master Form can be edited freely — no conflict check needed. The system only flags a difference when you change a value that already has a Master Form counterpart.

8. Sending Documents for E-Signature

Once a form is 100% filled, you can send it directly to your client for electronic signature through DocuSign — without ever leaving EstatePilot.

The Signing Column

1

Click "Send for Signing"

Confirm the send when prompted. The document is sent to your client's email address (pulled from the Master Data).

2

Monitor the Status

The Signing column updates in real-time. You can click the refresh icon to check for the latest status.

3

Download the Signed Document

Once signed, a download link appears. Click it to get the fully executed PDF.

Important: Make sure your client's email address is correct in the Master Data before sending. The document will be sent to whatever email is on file.

9. Using the Expert Chat Assistant

EstatePilot includes an AI-powered expert chat that specializes in Texas real estate transactions. It knows TREC rules, TAR forms, and can see your transaction data to give you relevant advice.

1

Open the Chat Panel

On your Transaction Dashboard, click the chat icon on the left side of the screen. The chat panel slides open.

2

Ask Anything

Ask questions like:

"What fields am I missing on the TREC 20-17?"
"What's the standard option period in Texas?"
"My buyer wants to back out during option period — what are the steps?"
"Which forms do I need for a residential resale?"

3

Get Transaction-Aware Answers

The chat assistant can see your current transaction data. It knows what's been filled in and what's missing, so it can give you specific guidance for your deal.

Disclaimer: The chat assistant provides informational guidance only. It is not a substitute for legal advice. Always consult a licensed attorney for legal questions about your transaction.

10. Managing Your Subscription

EstatePilot offers a simple subscription plan:

To manage your subscription, click Subscription in the top navigation menu. From there you can:

11. Tips & Best Practices

Upload the main contract first. This gives the system the most complete dataset to start with. Then upload amendments and addenda to layer on updates.
Always verify the numbers. Before sending any document for signature, double-check the sales price, earnest money, option fee, and closing date. These are the most critical fields in any transaction.
Use the chat assistant. Not sure which form you need? Ask the chat. Not sure what a TREC paragraph means? Ask the chat. It's there to help.
Check the Listing and Funding columns. Green checkmarks mean the form is fully filled and on the compliance checklist. Aim for all green before closing.
Save often. After editing Master Data or form entries, always click Save. Unsaved changes are lost if you navigate away.
Set up your Profile first. Before creating your first transaction, fill in your agent and broker details on the Profile page. This information auto-populates every new transaction, saving you from re-entering the same data every time.

12. Frequently Asked Questions

What file types can I upload?

PDF, Word documents (.docx), and plain text files (.txt).

Can I edit the auto-filled data?

Yes! You can edit the Master Data directly. You can also edit fields on individual forms — if you change a value that came from the Master Form, the system will ask whether to keep the original, apply the change to just that form, or update the Master Form for all forms.

What happens if I upload a document with conflicting information?

The system detects the conflicts and presents them to you for resolution. You choose which value to keep for each field.

What happens if I change a field on a form that was auto-filled?

The system shows a conflict resolution popup with three options: keep the Master Form value, use your new value for that form only, or update the Master Form so all forms get the new value. This prevents silent inconsistencies across your documents.

Who receives the document when I click "Send for Signing"?

It goes to your client's email address as stored in the Master Data (buyer email or seller email, depending on your role in the transaction).

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, at any time. Go to Subscription in the top menu and click "Manage Subscription" to access the billing portal. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and stored in a secured PostgreSQL database. We never share your transaction data with third parties.

What if the AI extracts something incorrectly?

Simply click the field and correct it. The AI is highly accurate but not perfect — always review before signing.
