Real Estate Hub
The unit lifecycle
Every unit moves through Available → Held → Reserved → Contracted → Handed Over. Each transition is timestamped, attributed, and reversible.
The unit lifecycle is the state machine at the heart of the Real Estate Hub. Generic CRMs collapse a sale into one “deal”; the Hub tracks the real states a unit passes through, each with its own rules and paperwork.
The states
- Available — open for sale; can be held or reserved.
- Held — a soft, time-limited claim. Auto-expires unless converted (see Reservations & deposits).
- Reserved — a hard claim, usually backed by a deposit. The unit is off the market.
- Contracted — a contract is signed; the payment schedule is live.
- Handed Over — keys delivered and obligations closed; the unit leaves active inventory.
Every transition leaves a receipt
Each state change is timestamped, attributed to a user, and reversible. Open any unit to see a time-machine view of its full history: who held it, who signed, the current owner, and exactly when each change happened.
Click into a unit and see its full history — a receipt of who did what and when. Audit-grade, on every state change.
Why reversibility matters
Deals fall through. A buyer walks, a hold expires, a deposit is refunded. Because every transition is reversible and logged, returning a unit to Available is a first-class action with its own approval and audit entry — not a destructive edit that erases what happened.
