Document Review Automation ROI for Real Estate Businesses

How much is manual document review costing your real estate business? See the full ROI breakdown — including 988 hours/year, $54K in savings, and a < 14 days payback period.

The True Cost of Manual Document Review

Every hour your real estate team spends on manual document review is an hour they are not spending on strategic work that drives growth. At $50/hour and 22 hours per week, the labor cost alone exceeds $57K per year — before factoring in the cost of errors, rework, employee turnover, and the opportunities you miss while your team is buried in routine tasks.

AI-powered document review automation changes the economics entirely. Instead of scaling costs linearly with volume, your real estate business can handle 200+ documents reviewed per month with minimal human oversight. The result: a < 14 days payback period and compounding returns as your business grows. Here is the detailed breakdown.
