When the keys change hands, the smart home should too.

re-qi moves every smart-home account from seller to buyer at closing — escrowed, verified, and certified.

The re-qi Handoff Certificate with verified devices and chain of custody

The Handoff Certificate — proof, not promises.

The average home sells with a dozen connected accounts.

Today they change hands on a sticky note — if at all — and the previous owner can still watch the cameras and open the locks. re-qi gives the digital handoff the same paper trail as the title transfer.

01

The agent starts it

One form. Seller and buyer each get a secure link.

02

The seller hands off

Every account moves to a re-qi-managed house key.

03

We verify & hold

Escrowed with a chain of custody until closing day.

04

The buyer takes over

Reassigned at closing — the seller's access severed, recorded, and certified.

Document once

One guided session. Devices move to a sealed house account — encrypted, access-logged, never browsed — and re-qi guides the rest.

The safest path, every device

Where a vendor ships a real transfer flow — like Ring's — re-qi schedules it. Everything else rides the house account.

Transfer day, sequenced

The seller releases, the buyer claims — every step spelled out, recorded, and verified in order.

The buyer makes it theirs

Buyers claim each account in the vendor's own app — their email, a password only they know. Nothing sensitive is ever typed into re-qi.

The home’s knowledge transfers too — the gardener, the codes, the shutoffs, the people who keep it running.

Nothing due until the handoff is done.

$29.99one-time, at completion

Documenting your home is free, and the whole transfer happens before any money changes hands. At completion, a single fee — paid by the buyer, or sponsored by an agent — releases the chain-of-custody certificate to everyone.

No card up front. No subscription. Walk away anytime before transfer day.

We briefly hold the keys to a home.
We engineer for it.

  • AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, keys held outside the database.
  • Minimized custody — revocable tokens over passwords, auto-purge after dual confirmation.
  • No standing human access. Every access lands in an immutable audit log both parties can see.
  • Aligned with NAR smart-home closing guidance — seller access severed and certified, verified where vendors allow — without losing the home's automations and history.

Have a smooth closing.

We’re onboarding a first wave of sellers, agents, and title partners.

No spam. We’ll only email about early access.
