Document management for real estate
Docuflair for the entire real-estate value chain — agents, property management, and trading. Automatic redaction of personal data in listings, audit-proof archiving of purchase contracts and lease agreements, multi-tenant workflows. 100% on-premises, GDPR-compliant.
Personal data, long retention, many parties — all at once
Personal data in property listings
Owner names, addresses, phone numbers and financial details must not reach public portals. Reliable redaction is required before every publication.
Long contract retention (10+ years)
Notarial deeds and purchase contracts must be archived for 10+ years under commercial and tax law. Disputed lease files can require 30+ years.
Tenant/purchaser data during diligence
Before a portfolio sale or share deal, tenant and seller PII in hundreds of lease contracts and letters must be redacted — manual work is not scalable.
Many properties, many clients, one firm
Brokerage chains, property managers and investors handle hundreds of objects simultaneously. Without strict multi-tenant separation, data leaks become unavoidable.
How Docuflair supports real-estate businesses
Automatic PII redaction
Docuflair Redact detects owner, tenant, seller and third-party PII automatically — for listing publication, tenant file handover or investor diligence. Different redaction levels per recipient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most important questions about real estate
Does Docuflair handle the entire real-estate value chain?
Yes. Docuflair supports the three main segments of the real-estate value chain: brokerage (listing redaction, MaBV/licensing retention, digital signatures), property management (lease files, WEG protocols, multi-tenant separation of hundreds of properties) and trading/investment (notarial deeds, due-diligence data rooms, investor reporting with tiered access). All three run on the same on-premises platform, so data never leaves your infrastructure.
How does Docuflair support GDPR-compliant listing publication?
Docuflair Redact automatically detects owner names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and other PII in listing documents. These are redacted before the listing is published on portals like ImmoScout24, Rightmove or your own website. An unredacted version remains internally for vetted buyers. The entire workflow is logged in the SHA-256 audit trail.
Can Docuflair manage multiple properties / mandates separately?
Yes. Docuflair is fully multi-tenant: each property, each WEG (condominium association), each managed mandate or each transaction gets its own tenant with dedicated role-based permissions, audit trail and strict data separation. Franchise agencies, brokerages with multiple branches, property managers with hundreds of objects, or investors managing multiple SPVs can all keep strict separation while giving headquarters a consolidated view when needed.
Does Docuflair support due-diligence data rooms?
Yes. Docuflair Workflow together with Redact and Access Control provides a full due-diligence data room per transaction: time-limited, role-based invitations for external advisors (lawyers, tax consultants, valuation experts), automatic tenant/seller PII redaction at different levels depending on the recipient, and a gap-free audit trail of every view, download and print. Since Docuflair is on-premises, no data leaves your infrastructure.
Is Docuflair suitable for international investors with strict confidentiality needs?
Yes. Docuflair runs entirely on-premises or in a private cloud — no US cloud dependencies, no external telemetry, no cross-border data flows unless you explicitly export documents. This makes the platform suitable for institutional investors, family offices and sovereign wealth funds with strict confidentiality obligations or data-localisation requirements (GDPR, Schrems II, CLOUD Act concerns).
