Smarter Real Estate Paperwork, Powered by Online Forms
Online Forms for Real Estate Success
Every real estate team deals with scattered documents, manual follow-ups, missing signatures, and last-minute changes—whether it’s rental applications, property disclosures, listing agreements, or closing paperwork. PlatoForms helps real estate professionals convert static PDFs into secure, fillable online forms that clients can complete on any device. With AI-powered field detection, prefilled invitations, approval workflows, and legally valid e-signatures, PlatoForms keeps deals moving smoothly—without printing, scanning, or chasing documents. From lead intake to lease signing and closing, PlatoForms turns real estate paperwork into a streamlined digital process.
Smarter Forms, Faster Closings

Detect fields and create digital forms automatically
AI-Powered Real Estate Forms
Many real estate teams publish their first digital rental application in just 10 minutes. Upload a tenant application, lease agreement, purchase contract, or disclosure package, and PlatoForms’ AI detects and maps all fields—text boxes, checkboxes, signatures, dates, Social Security numbers, and file uploads—turning static PDFs into working digital forms while preserving legal language, formatting requirements, and compliance disclosures.
For new forms, start from a template or simply describe what you need—such as a rental application with tenant details, employment verification, rental history, credit authorization, and e-signature fields—and the AI generates the forms instantly. Fully editable, with built-in field validation and no technical skills required.

Send pre-filled forms with known details already included
Pre-Fill Transaction Documents to Speed Closings
Why make clients fill out information you already have? With PlatoForms’ Pre-Filled Forms, real estate professionals can send transaction forms with known details already filled in. Pre-populate tenant names, property addresses, lease terms, and rent amounts—tenants only add employment details and signatures. Pre-fill buyer and seller names, property details, and purchase prices—clients simply complete required disclosures and sign.
You can track email delivery and submissions in real time, and lock key fields as read-only to prevent changes to negotiated terms . This cuts manual data entry, reduces errors that trigger curative loops, keeps TRID timelines on track, and helps agents close the typical ~22-hour transaction file faster with fewer issues.

Master Form: Eliminate repetitive data entry across property documents
Fill Once, Generate Complete Transaction Packages
Property transactions involve stacks of paperwork with the same details repeated everywhere. Tenants and buyers shouldn’t have to re-enter the same information across applications, leases, disclosures, inspections, and closing documents.
Master Form collects information once and auto-fills every document in the transaction. Ideal for property management, real estate deals, and broker coordination packages—one client submission generates a complete ZIP of fully filled documents, keeping data consistent, cutting duplicate entry, and reducing compliance risk.

FAQ’S
-
How do I add online forms on my real estate website?
PlatoForms offers two methods: embed the online form directly into your webpage using the provided Embed Script or copy and paste the form URL. Whichever method you choose, PlatoForms provides convenient solutions for seamless integration on your real estate website. -
Can rental applications show different questions based on tenant responses?
Yes. Conditional logic automatically shows or hides sections based on answers. If an applicant selects “Yes” for pets, the form displays pet deposit and breed information fields. If they select parking, vehicle details appear. This keeps applications short and relevant for each tenant while ensuring you collect all necessary information. -
Can we password-protect applications containing sensitive tenant information?
Yes. PlatoForms offers multiple passcode options to secure forms with Social Security numbers, credit reports, and income data. Set a form passcode for internal-only access, shared URL passcode when distributing completed applications to landlords, or save-for-later passcode so tenants can safely resume their applications. This protects sensitive information throughout the screening process. -
Can tenants pause a rental application and finish it later?
Absolutely. Tenants can save their progress and return within 60 days to complete the application. This is essential when they need to gather pay stubs, employment letters, or previous landlord references. Auto-save also preserves their work if the browser closes accidentally—preventing lost applications and improving completion rates in competitive rental markets. -
How does PlatoForms protect sensitive tenant and buyer data?
PlatoForms keeps client data safe with encryption, access controls, activity logs, and optional two-factor authentication, ensuring only authorized real estate staff can view or edit forms while maintaining privacy, compliance (Fair Housing, state disclosure laws), and accountability for sensitive applicant and transaction information. -
Are e-signatures legally valid for leases and real estate contracts?
Yes, absolutely! PlatoForms supports legally binding electronic signatures with signature certificates that include timestamps, signer’s IP address, email address and SHA256 Checksum. -

We offer comprehensive support options like video tutorials, guides, FAQs, and a responsive support team.
