The real problem
The automation is the part you have to build.
A trigger-and-clause system is genuinely powerful once it is built, and for a high-volume TC that power is the reason to buy it. The cost is that the power arrives last. Every transaction type needs its own template. Every rule needs a trigger written for it. Every edge case you hit in month three sends you back into the builder instead of into the deal.
So the work you were trying to remove moves rather than disappearing. It becomes configuration work, and it lands before you have coordinated a single file. The question is not whether the system can do it. It is whether you want to be the one who tells it how.
“With the growth that we're experiencing, I have to find a way to streamline. The way we're growing, it's just not gonna keep functioning for us. It's just clunky.”

How the switch works
One deal, two layers.
The transaction you are running today does not stop while you move. Ava runs the coordination layer from intake forward, and the process you have been running by hand runs alongside it until you no longer need it.
Reads the contract
Purchase agreement, counters, addenda. Every date, every party, every contingency.
Catches every email
Matched to the right deal by context, even with no address in the subject line.
Builds the timeline
Your state's rules, business days and federal holidays counted correctly.
Follows your checklist
Give Ava the checklist you already use once and it keeps it exactly as written.
Build the template first
A configured workflow starts with the configuration, before the first file moves.
Then run the deal
The coordination work waits behind whatever the builder still needs from you.
The switch is one contract, not one quarter.
There is no template to build and no trigger to write before you start. Upload one executed contract and Ava reads it, extracts every date and party, and builds the timeline. That is the whole migration.
Two layers · One deal · Nothing to configure
Who owns what
ListedKit AI and Open to Close, job by job.
Every job in a transaction, and which layer it runs on. Read it as a division of labor, not a scorecard.
| Job in the transaction | Runs on |
|---|---|
| Reading the executed contract at intake | Ava |
| Extracting every date, party, and contingency | Ava |
| Catching every email about the deal and matching it to the file | Ava |
| Building the timeline to your state's rules | Ava |
| Following your brokerage's own checklist and rules | Ava |
| Telling your team what needs to happen next | Ava |
| Configuring trigger-and-clause automation | Open to Close |
| Building a template for every transaction type | Open to Close |
| Running your first deal after you switchWhere the switch happens | Ava, from day one |
The bottom line: if configuring your own trigger-and-clause automation is the thing you want to own, Open to Close is built for that. Ava is the layer that reads what is inside the contract and what is arriving in your inbox, so the timeline exists before anyone has configured anything.
Making the move
Switch on one contract. There is nothing to configure.
Bring the checklist you already built
The process you spent months getting right does not have to be rebuilt. Ava reads into it rather than replacing it.
- Export the checklist or task sequence your team runs today.
- Paste it into Ava once. It keeps it exactly as written, with no templates to rebuild and no transaction types to configure.
- It dates it from the contract it read, on every deal, in every state.
Connect the inbox the deal already lives in
Ava connects to Gmail, where the transaction is already happening. Your process stays yours. It fills it in faster.
- Connect your email. Every message about a deal lands in the right file.
- Upload the executed contract. Ava reads it and builds the timeline.
- Run the next file on Ava while the rest of your pipeline finishes where it is.
What the coordination layer costs
Priced per intake, not per seat.
Your first transaction is free, and volume discounts run up to 27% off. There are no per-seat fees, so the whole team runs on one account, and there is no fixed monthly cost on a slow month.
Against a transaction coordinator at $300 to $500 per transaction, or against the forty five minutes per file you spend reading the contract yourself, the math works either way. To run it for your own volume, use the free TC cost calculator.

Verified G2 reviews, verbatim. Role attribution only.
“Listed Kit is hands-down the best CRM I've ever used, and the setup was literally so easy. The best part is the 'assistant' atmosphere, being able to text AVA or have her actually read my emails makes it feel like I have a personal assistant on payroll. I've used a lot of systems, but I can't believe anyone would use anything else!”
“The ability for Ava to read the contracts and documents.”
“Ava is amazing and really speeds up my process.”
“AI utilization helps us manage our deals more effectively and stay on top of our key dates.”

What is the best Open to Close alternative?
ListedKit AI is the Open to Close alternative for transaction coordinators who want to start on the next deal rather than on a configuration project.

How long does Open to Close take to set up?
Setup is significant, because the automation is the thing you build: every transaction type needs its own template and every trigger needs to be built.

Upload an executed contract and Ava reads it, extracts every date and party, and builds the timeline on its own.
Do I have to rebuild my workflow to switch?
No. Ava does not replace your workflow, it reads into it. If your team has a detailed process, a brokerage checklist, or a specific task sequence, paste it once and Ava keeps it exactly as written and follows it on every deal, dating it from the contract it read. There is no configuration project to repeat.

Will Ava follow my brokerage's rules and my market's norms?
