File SAMPLE-26-204 is open. I have it from here.
Missing: the signed waiver of the financing condition. I’m asking the buyers’ agent for it now.
One message, and the file has a keeper.
Hi Priya,
We act for your buyers, Dana and Sam Reyes, on 41 Juniper Row. Closing is Friday, November 27.
Our copy of the agreement has the financing condition but no waiver. Could you send the waiver signed by both buyers?
Thank you,
Lintel

Then the part nobody has time for: asking.
Hi Priya, following up on the waiver for 41 Juniper Row. A photo is fine for now.
Sorry, showings all week! Signed waiver attached.
And asking again, by email, text and phone, until it’s done.

Reporting Letter Draft
Dana and Sam Reyes
RE: Your purchase of 41 Juniper Row
Dear Dana and Sam,
Your purchase closed on November 27, 2026. This letter reports on your title, your mortgage and the funds we handled for you.
Finish after closing
Closing documents, drafted and assembled for your review.
Needs your judgment
Water heater. The APS includes it as owned. The sellers’ reply to requisitions says it is rented.
This is your call. I’ve drafted a requisition asking the sellers to pay out the rental on closing, in case you want it. Nothing goes out until you say so.
Send it. I’ll call Dana and Sam.
Sent to the sellers’ lawyer at 3:02 p.m. Logged on the file.
The judgment stays with you. Lintel brings you the decision, not the pile.

An animated, simulated example. The file, people, firm, lender and emails are fictional. It is not a recording of a real file or a real system.
You train them. They make mistakes. They leave for a raise. Then a closing slips because nobody called the lender back.
Lintel takes no sick days, no vacation and no better offer. You pay by the file, and only when there is a file.
A closing waits on the lender, the other lawyer, the agents, the condo office and your client. Lintel follows up by phone, email, text and fax until each one answers, and logs every attempt on the file.
New purchase. APS attached. Closing Nov 27.
File opened. Title search ordered. Requisition date is Nov 13.
Hi Priya, could you send the signed waiver for 14 Elm? Thanks.
Mortgage instructions. 6 pages.
Status certificate ordered.
Draft statement of adjustments is ready. One question about the tax credit.
A doorway needs two posts and a lintel. You are the posts: advice, judgment, signature. Lintel is the beam: searches, requisitions, adjustments, funds, the reporting letter. Your client walks through to the keys.
By email, fax, text or upload.
Searches ordered. Requisitions drafted. Lender, other side and condo office contacted.
Anything that needs a lawyer comes to you in one list.
Funds, registration, undertakings, reporting letter. We track it until the file is done.
Each file has a clerk with its own email address and phone number. Call it. Email it. Text it. Fax it. Or have your AI assistant talk to it.
