Listings live in minutes, agents back with clients.
Listings, agreement checks and AML done before the open home. It runs alongside Rex, Reapit or Palace, and an agent signs off every one.
Sounds like you if your best agent writes a great listing in an hour, and everyone else's hour produces something average.
- An agent signs off every output
- Audit-ready under the AML/CFT Act
- Live in weeks
Commissions are compressing. The admin load isn't.
Flat-fee and discount models are squeezing traditional commission structures, and volumes have dropped 30-40% from 2021 peaks - but compliance costs and portal fees stay fixed. Every buyer and seller needs Customer Due Diligence under the AML/CFT Act, and it’s still a manual process at most agencies. RIVER builds the layer that takes the admin back.
Your agency today
With RIVER
An agent spends 30-60 minutes writing each listing description, and quality varies across the team.
A polished description drafted from the property details and comparables, in the agency's voice, for the agent to check.
Sale and purchase agreements are read clause by clause, by hand, before anyone signs.
Non-standard clauses and missing conditions flagged the moment the agreement lands, for agent review.
AML/CFT due diligence on every buyer and seller is a manual process, and DIA supervision means it has to be audit-ready.
Identity verification and risk assessment run for individuals, trusts, companies and overseas persons, with an audit trail kept as you go.
On your data, hosted in Aotearoa, and never used to train a model.
A CMA is assembled by hand from CoreLogic, REINZ stats, council records and recent comparable sales.
A comparative market analysis and vendor report generated from the sales data you already hold.
When your top agent moves on, their market knowledge and local insight go with them.
Local knowledge, SOPs and compliance procedures answered in plain language, sourced to the document, for every agent.
The agent keeps the relationship. The platform takes the admin.
What AI actually does here. Grounded in the work, not the hype.
Listings drafted, agreements risk-checked, AML/CFT compliance run, market reports generated - the platform does the routine work and leaves the client call to an agent.
Take the listing and the agreement
The two things every deal starts with: a listing that reads well, and an agreement that's been checked. Both drafted for an agent to approve.
Then the compliance and the market read
On that foundation, the compliance work DIA expects runs off the data you already collect - and the market picture assembles itself.
Flagged for enhanced due diligence on an overseas-resident settlor - routed for agent sign-off.
You don't start from scratch. We tailor what's proven to your agency.
RIVER is over 100 prebuilt modules, tailored to your CRM and your compliance obligations in weeks - built to sit alongside Rex, Reapit and Palace, not replace them.
Everything a compliance or franchise review asks for is in our Trust Centre
- Built for DIA supervision under the AML/CFT Act - enhanced due diligence for trusts, companies and overseas persons.
- NZ-hosted, on your cloud or ours, and never used to train a model.
- Every listing, agreement flag and compliance check is reviewed by an agent before it counts.
Isaac, Rai and everyone at RIVER were a pleasure to work with, and they delivered our platform on time and on budget. Their insights have kept coming ever since.
Peter KissFounder, Property Mogul · 2017Start with one module. Prove it, then grow.

Every real estate engagement includes
- A discovery that agrees your first listing or agreement win
- Agent review built into every workflow
- NZ-hosted, audit-ready for DIA under the AML/CFT Act
- Connection to the CRM and portals you already run
- The compliance documentation a franchise or DIA review asks for
- Your data, your IP, yours to keep
The questions people ask when they’re ready to move.
It sits alongside them, through their APIs - nothing is replaced. Your CRM stays the system of record; the platform reads from it and writes back only what an agent approves.
- Rex, Reapit and Palace are the ones we connect to most.
- realestate.co.nz and Trade Me Property for listing portals.
- Most integrations land in weeks, not a replacement project.
The platform doesn't replace your obligations - it makes meeting them faster. Identity verification, risk scoring and enhanced due diligence run for individuals, trusts, companies and overseas persons, with an audit trail kept as you go.
The Trust Centre carries the detail your next DIA or franchise review will ask for.
No. Every listing, agreement flag and compliance check goes through an agent before it counts. The platform drafts, flags and scores; the agent reviews and decides.
- A listing is drafted for the agent to check and publish.
- A flagged clause is a brief for review, not an automatic hold.
- Every action is logged and sourced to the record it came from.
Weeks, not quarters. The Starter module goes live in weeks including discovery, build and testing; a fuller rollout with a CRM integration takes a little longer.
Yes - scoped to your portfolio, not your listings. The Custom tier covers property management workflows: maintenance triage, tenant communication, inspection reports and Healthy Homes compliance, sized to your portfolio.
Easy to start. Fast to prove. Built to scale.

Five frontier models in three days. The only thing that survives is your eval set
Anthropic, Google, Meta, Alibaba and OpenAI all shipped a frontier model in the first three days of September. The teams that switched in a day had one thing in common: 30 to 50 real examples from their own work, scored the same way every time. How to build yours this afternoon.

Your AI vendor's pricing has a balance sheet under it
The five biggest US cloud companies are spending close to US$700 billion this year, most of it on AI, and the gap between that and what they earn is borrowed. Prices and terms can move for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Four questions to put to every AI vendor at renewal.

Developers felt faster. They were slower
A controlled trial found experienced developers were 19% slower with AI while believing it sped them up. A year later the same developers were faster. The gain was never in adoption. It was in aiming AI at the right work.
