The tools, in brief
IntellCRE. Starts from the deal: upload documents, get an AI underwriting and valuation, then generate an OM, BOV, brochure, property website or pitch deck from the same numbers, with comps and market data built in. Limits: a newer, smaller company than the incumbents; not a listing marketplace, so pair it with one for exposure.
Buildout. The established all-in-one brokerage platform, which says more than 50,000 brokers use it. Covers prospecting, marketing, transactions and CRM, with AI drafting built in. Limits: no published pricing; sales-led onboarding.
Henry. AI built around a firm’s own templates, assumptions and history, including Excel underwriting models synced to the deck. Says it serves 150+ firms. Limits: no published pricing; demo and guided onboarding rather than self-serve.
SharpLaunch. Strong on the web side: single-property sites and a searchable inventory page for a brokerage’s own site, with leads routed to your CRM. Limits: not built around underwriting or OM generation.
Crexi. A marketplace you can list on for free, with paid tools for promotion (PRO) and research (Intelligence, which includes AI document generation on higher tiers). Limits: listing marketing and research are separate products and tiers.
LoopNet. CoStar’s marketplace, which reports 13 million monthly searchers. The reach play. Limits: it distributes your marketing rather than creating your OM or BOV.
Canva. Fast and inexpensive for one-off flyers and social posts. Limits: no CRE data, underwriting or comps; every number is typed in by hand.

FAQ
What’s the difference between CRE marketing software and a listing marketplace? Marketing software creates the materials (OMs, BOVs, brochures, property sites). A marketplace such as LoopNet or Crexi distributes the listing to buyers and tenants. Most brokers use one of each.
Can AI write an offering memorandum? Yes. AI-first tools generate a draft OM from the property’s data and underwriting, which the broker then reviews and edits.
