CRE Models
CREModels provides outsourced analytical work and software for commercial and multifamily real estate investors, developers, and lenders. Services run across acquisitions, due diligence, asset management, and dispositions: acquisition underwriting support, full-service due diligence including review of third-party reports and market and scenario analysis, lease and loan abstraction, books and records review, private equity waterfall and fund models, property accounting support, and due diligence on real estate secondaries and LP interests.
The firm describes the model as bandwidth and brainpower: analysts work alongside a client's team for predictable fees instead of the client hiring, onboarding, and retaining in-house analysts. Clients include investment funds, acquisitions teams, developers, lenders, special servicers and receivers, brokers, and syndicators. Abstraction projects include technology tools that track critical dates and produce reports, and the site says all financial modeling and due diligence work is completed inside the US by its own full-time employees.
On the software side, CRE Suite is its acquisitions, development, and asset management platform, with portfolio roll-ups of multiple models, scenario analysis, built-in mapping and demographics, unlimited version storage, sharing for distributed teams, and export to PowerPoint and Word. Free tools include a private equity waterfall model and a real estate demographics and thematic mapping tool, and the firm offers free access to students at qualified institutions, professionals between jobs, and nonprofits and endowments.
It also runs a technology consulting practice, building tech stacks and applications, migrating data to new systems, integrating project and accounting data into dashboards, and automating workflows, plus post-conference support for teams returning from events such as ICSC, IMN, or NMHC. Fees are not published; the firm is reached on 201-252-7487.
Best for
