In Brief

What acquisition teams need to know.

Commercial real estate underwriting software helps acquisition teams turn broker materials, rent rolls, T-12s, OMs, comps, and market data into an investment model. The strongest tools preserve the team's existing Excel workbook, cite source documents, flag conflicts, and create a reviewable deal record instead of forcing analysts into a generic model.

What serious teams should look for

The buyer question is not whether a tool can extract text from a PDF. It is whether the system can turn a full deal room into the model, fields, checks, and review workflow your team already trusts.

  • Exact Excel model mapping
  • Source citations and conflict review
  • Custom fields, scores, and acquisition pipeline records
  • Comp and deal-memory capture across every run

Where Primer fits

  • Works with your workbook
  • Handles uploaded deal rooms plus configured external sources
  • Keeps analysts in control of final judgment

FAQ

Questions buyers ask.

What is commercial real estate underwriting software? +

Commercial real estate underwriting software helps teams analyze acquisition opportunities by extracting and structuring deal data, calculating key metrics, and preparing investment models. Modern AI systems also cite sources, reconcile conflicting documents, and preserve a team's existing Excel model.

What makes Primer different from extraction tools? +

Primer is designed around the acquisition workflow, not just document extraction. It maps deal data into the team's model, creates a reviewable deal record, and preserves data for future comp and pipeline work.

Should acquisition teams replace Excel? +

Most institutional teams should not replace Excel. Their model is often the system of record. Primer is built to populate and support that model rather than force a vendor-owned workbook.
