Dr. Redact for Mortgage & Real Estate

Close deals, not data leaks

How mortgage & real estate teams use Dr. Redact

Deal packages and rent rolls

Dr. Redact was founded by someone who brokered commercial and practice transitions and watched rent rolls, PSAs, and financials get emailed around with tenants' and principals' details fully exposed. A marketing or diligence package should show income, terms, and occupancy — not the SSN of anyone who ever signed a lease.

Loan files between deal parties

A borrower's application crosses the agent, the lender, the title company, and often a wholesaler — each hop a full copy of SSNs, bank statements, and pay stubs. Redacting what each party doesn't need, before forwarding, turns a chain of exposures into a chain of working documents.

Applications reviewed on paper

Rental applications still arrive handwritten. Photograph the pages with your phone — no scanner, no app — and the same detection pass catches handwritten SSNs, license numbers, and bank details before the owner ever sees the file.

Common questions from mortgage & real estate

Can I redact a paper application or closing document from my phone?

Yes. Photograph the pages with your phone's camera right on the website, review the detections, and download a searchable redacted PDF — crooked photos and handwriting included.

What should stay visible in a diligence or marketing package?

That's your call, and the review step is where you make it. Typical packages keep rents, terms, dates, and financial performance while names, SSNs, account numbers, and signatures come out. You approve every single removal.

Will the other side accept a redacted file?

Redacted packages are standard practice in transactions — what's unusual is proof. Every job produces an audit certificate listing exactly what was removed, and the output stays searchable so the receiving side can still work the document.

Recommended: Professional $29/mo

100 pages/month matches a producing agent's or small brokerage's document flow, with audit certificates when lenders ask.
