AI built for Real Estate.
Your agents spend more time on paperwork than on the deal. RIVER builds the AI layer that writes the listing, checks the agreement, and runs the AML/CFT compliance - so your team spends its hours with clients, not spreadsheets.
Sounds like you if your best agent writes a great listing in an hour, and everyone else's took the same hour to write something average.
- NZ-hosted, audit-ready for DIA under the AML/CFT Act
- Every listing, agreement flag and compliance check reviewed by an agent
- Live in weeks, alongside Rex, Reapit or Palace
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.

One Year On: New Zealand's AI Strategy in Practice
A year after 'Investing with Confidence' launched, what has the national AI strategy actually delivered, and what should NZ businesses do with the settings we've got?
Take
Australia Just Walked Away From Mandatory AI Guardrails. That Doesn't Mean What You Think.
Canberra shelved AI-specific legislation in favour of existing law, a safety institute, and adoption guidance. The compliance burden didn't disappear. It moved.
