Scale Property Research with AI-Powered Bulk Processing on Crexi
Stop Researching Properties One by One
If you've ever spent hours manually looking up property addresses to find owner contact information, you understand how inefficient manual property research can be. You copy an address, paste it into a search tool, wait for results, jot down what you need, and repeat. By property fifty, you're wondering if you’ll actually get a chance to eat today.
There is a better way.
Crexi just rolled out a new AI-powered capability that transforms how CRE professionals handle bulk property research. Instead of searching and verifying properties individually, users can upload entire address lists and receive enriched results, including validated addresses, ownership data, and owner contact information in minutes.
The Real Cost of Manual Property Lookups
Manual property research creates a bottleneck for many CRE professionals, especially teams managing large address lists. According to Deloitte, 74% of CRE professionals report that manual processes contribute to delays in transactions.
Industry research shows that analysts at leading brokerages spend a disproportionate amount of time on repetitive property research tasks without automation. For teams managing large property portfolios, this represents a massive drain on resources that could be deployed toward revenue-generating activities.
The math: if each property lookup takes 3-5 minutes, researching 200 properties consumes 10-16 hours of work. That's two full business days spent gathering data instead of closing deals.
How It Works
Upload Your Property Lists
Users can import address lists via CSV or Excel file with intelligent column mapping that automatically detects address fields. For one-off research needs, a single-address lookup mode is also available. Single-address lookup mode handles quick, one-off searches.
Automated Validation and Processing
AI validates each address and enriches the dataset by matching it against Crexi’s commercial property database. You'll receive owner contact information, property details like square footage and use type, ownership data, and zoning details.
Export Clean, Deal-Ready Data
Download complete enriched datasets formatted for immediate use. A centralized Exports Hub lets you track all bulk jobs and monitor processing status.
Built for Real CRE Workflows
Bulk Prospecting: Upload hundreds of properties and receive complete contact and property data for outreach campaigns.
Database Enhancement: Fill gaps in internal databases with validated property details and current ownership information.
Portfolio Analysis: Quickly gather comprehensive data on portfolio holdings or competitive properties without manual research delays.
Outreach Campaign Preparation: Transform raw address lists into actionable intelligence ready for marketing automation.
Beyond Simple Ownership Verification
Traditional ownership verification tools focus primarily on finding contact information. Crexi goes further by combining ownership verification functionality with comprehensive property data validation.
Instead of receiving only a phone number, users receive a fully enriched property record. You're receiving validated square footage, confirmed zoning and use types, accurate parcel information, and ownership details all in one enriched dataset. For teams that need both ownership verification for contacts and property intelligence, this eliminates the need for multiple tools or parallel research processes.
Why This Changes the Game
Process Hundreds of Properties Without Linear Time Increases
Bulk processing means research time doesn't scale linearly with list size. Whether you're researching 50 properties or 500, processing time remains measured in minutes rather than days.
Reclaim Hours Every Week
CRE professionals can reclaim hours each week that would otherwise be spent on manual data entry and searching for property owner information. This freed capacity can be redirected to deal evaluation and relationship building—activities that actually generate revenue.
Flexible for Any Research Need
The tool adapts to both high-volume operations and one-off research requests, whether you're performing bulk ownership verification for investment opportunities or enriching property data for market analysis.
The Productivity Imperative
A 2023 survey found that 80% of CRE firms believe technology will be the key to overcoming obstacles and driving growth. Research from CBRE shows that 83% of CRE firms utilize cloud-based platforms to centralize their data, reducing the time brokers spend searching through multiple systems by up to 40%.
In fast-paced markets, the ability to quickly synthesize information from multiple sources often determines who wins the deal. Automation removes the constraint that manual research places on prospecting capacity.
Real-World Impact
Consider an acquisition team targeting off-market properties using a list of 300 addresses compiled from public records and local sources. Previously, researching ownership and contact information meant days of manual work. Now they upload the list once and receive complete owner contact details and property data within minutes, eliminating the research bottleneck and shifting capacity to what actually generates revenue: prospecting and building connections.
