Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these tools to find tenants for specific property types like medical or industrial?

Yes. Lead Finder lets you search by industry, company size, and job title so you can target decision-makers at healthcare groups looking for medical office space, logistics firms needing industrial, or any other tenant category. Deep Research can also profile the demand drivers specific to those sectors.

How current is the lease comparable data?

Real Estate Data pulls from multiple commercial databases and is updated continuously. Lease comp data reflects recently executed transactions, though coverage depth varies by market. Tier 1 gateway cities typically have the richest comp histories.

Can I use these tools to create LOI or lease abstracts?

Deep Research and content tools can help structure deal summaries and abstract key lease terms from documents you provide. For final legal documents, always have a licensed attorney review before execution.

How do I research whether a tenant brand is creditworthy?

Competitor Research generates a comprehensive company profile from the tenant's website and public data — including funding history, growth trajectory, press coverage, and any signals of financial stress. Deep Research can supplement this with news searches and public filings.

Can these tools help me track my market's overall vacancy and absorption trends?

Yes. Real Estate Data covers submarket-level vacancy rates, net absorption, and average asking rents for office, retail, and industrial. Pair with Economic Calendar to track macro events that impact leasing demand.
