Property due diligence software for buyer's agents
Search "property due diligence software" and what comes back is either a generic AI chat wrapper that reads one PDF at a time and forgets it by the next deal, or nothing built for how a buyer's agent actually works. Trace is neither. It's the system of record for the deal — every document, every finding, every sign-off, checked against your own agency's history, not just the file in front of you.
What due diligence software should actually do
- Read every document in the deal — not skim it, not summarise it into a paragraph you still have to fact-check.
- Remember what your own agency has seen before — the same by-law, the same builder, the same street — not just what's public.
- Keep a record that holds up months later, when a client calls mid-dispute asking what you knew and when.
- Leave the sign-off to a person on your team. An AI's own conclusion is a draft, not a finding.
How Trace does it
Capture a listing straight from realestate.com.au or domain.com.au with the browser extension, and it's in the deal — with your own firm's history on that building or street surfaced alongside it. Every document gets checked against two things at once: Trace's Australian property intelligence, and your agency's own deal history. A cross-reference match — the identical by-law, the same builder, the same defect — gets flagged with what it cost your agency last time, not just that it exists.
Every finding lands on a register your client can see, tracked through to close-out instead of buried in a PDF nobody reopens. Every view, upload, and sign-off is timestamped and cryptographically chained — an edit after the fact breaks the chain and shows. The conclusion is always a person's, confirmed on your team, not an AI's on its own.
What Trace isn't
Trace doesn't replace your building and pest inspector, your conveyancer, or your own judgment on a deal — it's the record and analysis layer underneath them, not a substitute for professional advice. It doesn't certify anyone's identity or lodge anything with a regulator on your behalf either — see what Tranche 2 actually requires if that's what you're checking.
Most of what's marketed as "AI due diligence" is a chat window bolted onto a PDF upload. See how Trace compares to the tools you're probably already using, or read about the deal room if documents were never the only problem.
