The first time I taught one of my kids to tie their shoes, it took about 15 tries, a lot of encouragement, and maybe a little reward (i.e. a cookie!). Same thing with reading. Same thing with loading the dishwasher the right way. If you’re a parent, you’ve been there. But also, the same in […]
In the CRE Agents platform, a Mode is how you teach your digital coworker to behave in a specific context. Think of it like setting your teammate’s mindset, tone, and area of focus before starting a new assignment. A Mode defines the coworker’s personality, its purpose, the tools it can use, the workflows it has […]
In commercial real estate, we succeed by remembering details – the nuances of a lease clause, a client’s preferences, the cap rate we used in that one-off-market deal. But with dozens of conversations and countless data points swirling around us daily, we forget. What if your AI didn’t? AI memory, or the ability for an […]
There’s no denying it. AI is changing the game in commercial real estate. We’re seeing professionals across the industry use generative AI to automate underwriting, enhance marketing, analyze data, and speed up day-to-day tasks. In many cases, AI enables us to 10x our output while remaining lean and focused. At CRE Agents, we’ve embraced this […]
Introduction: The Broken Promise of CRE Tech For years, commercial real estate professionals have been promised transformation through technology. But ask any asset manager or acquisitions analyst, and you’ll hear a different story: too many tools, too much complexity, and too little impact on real work. We’re at a turning point. The next big leap […]
If you’ve underwritten even a handful of deals, you know the pain: you get an income and expense statement from a property owner, and it’s a mess. Vague line items like “Repairs & Misc.” or “Admin/Other” don’t tell you much. So, you end up spending precious time remapping every line into your own chart of […]
Commercial real estate (CRE) is entering a new era—one where AI-native firms will dramatically outpace their competitors in productivity, insights, and agility. But what does it actually mean to be “AI-native”? And more importantly, how can your firm get there? This post lays out a comprehensive, step-by-step strategy based on our Comprehensive Strategic Plan for […]
If you’ve ever spent an afternoon manually entering deal assumptions into an Excel model, flipping between pages of the OM, double-checking decimal points, and wondering if you caught every input, you’ll appreciate this one. Now, the process of building a financial model for single-tenant net lease (STNL) properties just got a major upgrade. The CRE […]
In a recent post, we argued that only AI-native real estate companies will survive and win. And the feedback we received confirmed a growing consensus: this shift is already happening. But going from concept to reality requires more than mindset. It requires the right tools. Being AI-native means having a team of AI-first thinkers who […]
In late 2021, before most people had heard of ChatGPT, we had started tinkering with the idea of a digital coworker for commercial real estate (though we didn’t call it that yet!). At the time, we were working with OpenAI’s GPT-3. It wasn’t all that powerful, and it certainly wasn’t built to handle CRE tasks. […]
