Underwriting & analysis
Archer
Archer is a multifamily real estate intelligence platform that automates deal analysis. It parses rent rolls and T12 statements, produces underwriting, tracks a deal pipeline, and supplies market and comp data in one place.
The core workflow runs from an address to a complete underwrite in about a minute, with rent roll and T12 parsing in under ten seconds. Firms can use Archer's own models or load their own Excel model through an Excel integration or the API. Market screening draws on more than 40 data sets and over 200 filters, and brokers can generate a BOV automatically to decide whether a deal is worth the time.
Separate product tracks serve investors and asset managers, brokers in sales and debt, lenders sizing and monitoring loans, and property managers benchmarking properties and chasing new contracts. The company was started in 2019 by founders who met at Wharton and took the business through the Wharton VIP incubator.
Pricing is an annual platform fee plus one of three options: cost that scales with deals analyzed, cost that scales with deals closed, or one fixed annual cost for unlimited usage. Archer quotes each firm individually based on expected activity, assets under management or unit count, number of users and offices, and annual transaction volume.
