CREx/About
About CRExSince 2021

Leveling the playing field for commercial real estate.

CREx Software is a commercial real estate data and asset management platform that consolidates property management data into one governed environment for investment managers who run assets through third-party property managers. Every client also gets a fractional asset management team: CPAs and asset managers who map the chart of accounts, chase missing feeds, and produce the monthly and quarterly reporting.

What CREx does.

Software with services. The platform is the enabler. The outcome is what clients pay for: numbers that close on time and reports that go out without a scramble.

Software01

CREx OS

A data and asset management platform that pulls rent rolls, collections, lease schedules, occupancy, budget-to-actuals, valuations, debt, and investor reporting from any property management system into one governed environment, refreshed daily. No file uploads and no portal logins. The outcome is one set of numbers your team, your property managers, and your investors all work from.

CREx OS
Included service02

Agentic Asset Management

Every CREx OS license includes a named asset manager and a set of AI agents that work your portfolio. The team handles chart-of-accounts mapping, chases missing feeds, flags data quality issues before they reach a report, and produces the monthly and quarterly reporting package. Your asset managers review numbers instead of assembling them.

Agentic Asset Management
Software03

CREx Deal Intelligence

An AI deal database for acquisitions teams. Forward broker emails to a dedicated inbox and it screens each deal against your buy box, parses the OM and T-12, and pre-populates your underwriting model. Deal screening drops from hours to minutes, and every deal you have ever seen is searchable.

Deal Intelligence
Enterprise04

CREx Core

A Microsoft Fabric data warehouse, Power BI report library, and AI copilot layer deployed inside your own tenant, built for portfolios of $1B and up. Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, and Excel land in one governed model, and the data never leaves your environment. Median implementation is 12 weeks, with no discovery fees.

CREx Core
Consulting05

Blueprint, CRE10x, and Lease Audit

Blueprint designs the operating model and data strategy for an asset management team. CRE10x is a two-week AI install, $10,000 fixed for portfolios up to about 10 assets, that leaves your team running Claude on an AI-ready file architecture. Lease Audit digitizes physical leases with your onsite team and compares every charge against the property management system, so missed pet rent, amenity fees, and rent steps get found and billed.

Consulting
Training06

CREx Certified and AI Training

CREx Certified is a free library of CRE courses and certifications. AI Training runs five tracks for CRE teams, from asset managers to accounting. The curriculum comes from the Real Estate AI course Vimal Vachhani teaches at NYU's Schack Institute, and the CRE10x Conference brings the same material to a room once a year.

/ 02Differentiators

What makes CREx different.

We track nine platforms that get compared against CREx OS. Here is where the comparison lands, by name. Full side-by-side pages are linked in the key facts below.

01

Multifamily, commercial, and credit in one system

REBA, RevolutionRE, and Verify AI are built for multifamily only, and six of the nine platforms we track stop at one asset class. Of that set, only Pereview also covers debt. CREx OS runs multifamily, commercial, and credit covenants on one data model, so a fund with a mixed book runs one close instead of three.

02

A staffed asset management bench, included in the license

symmetRE describes a human in the loop. Pereview sells data upload and middle-office work as a separate service line. CREx includes a named asset manager and CPAs with every CREx OS license, and they own the chart-of-accounts mapping, the exception queue, and the monthly close. It is in the license, not a consulting SKU.

03

Fixed scopes and published prices

None of the nine platforms we track publish a price; every one of them is demo-gated. CREx publishes CRE10x at $10,000 fixed and Deal Intelligence from $0 to $249 a month, and puts a fixed number on everything else before you sign. Scoping calls end with a fixed-fee proposal within 48 hours, and CREx Core starts with no discovery fees.

04

Named connectors, portable data

JLL Asset Beacon does not name a single property management connector on its product page. DataFreedom is built for Yardi users only. CREx connects to Yardi, MRI, RealPage, AppFolio, and Entrata by name, and every number in CREx OS is available over API, over MCP for Claude and other AI tools, and as direct exports to your own warehouse or BI tool. There is no lock-in on your own data.

05

Acquisitions and asset management from one vendor

No asset management platform in the set we track has an inbound deal triage product. Leni has repositioned from real estate software to general AI infrastructure. CREx Deal Intelligence screens broker emails against your buy box and parses the OM and T-12 before the deal reaches an analyst, and the same firm then runs the asset once you own it.

/ 03Customers

Who uses CREx.

The common thread is a portfolio run through third-party property managers and a team that has outgrown Excel as the system of record.

  • 04Credit and debt funds monitoring covenants and borrower performance against actuals
  • 05Acquisitions teams at private equity funds and family offices screening inbound broker deal flow (Deal Intelligence)
  • 06Vertically integrated operators and $1B+ portfolios that need a data warehouse inside their own Microsoft tenant (CREx Core)
  • 07CFOs and controllers who produce monthly and quarterly investor reporting from property manager data
  • 08Asset management teams of 2 to 20 people adopting AI for the first time (CRE10x and AI Training)

/ 04Team

The team behind CREx.

Vimal Vachhani started CREx in 2021 in New York after more than a decade building data and AI platforms for institutional commercial real estate. The founding belief has not changed: a rent roll is a rent roll, whether you manage 10 properties or 1,000, and the firm with 10 deserves the same data infrastructure as the firm with 1,000.

CREx is bootstrapped. There is no venture board, so the roadmap is set by clients and the company is accountable to nobody else.

How CREx works.

From first call to the first monthly package, and who you will be talking to along the way.

Step 1

A demo on your data

The first call is with the asset manager who would run your account, not a sales engineer. We wire up one of your funds live, on your data, so you see your own rent roll and financials in CREx OS before anyone talks about a contract.

Step 2

A fixed-fee proposal in 48 hours

Scoping covers property count, how many property management systems are in play, asset classes, and which workstreams you need. A fixed-fee proposal follows within 48 hours of that call. Consulting engagements carry a fixed scope and fixed fee before any work starts.

Step 3

Onboarding, by product

CRE10x goes live in 2 weeks. CREx OS clients are typically live in 60 to 90 days, on the real portfolio rather than a sandbox, with a named lead from day one. CREx Core runs 12 weeks median on milestone-based go-live checkpoints.

Who you work with

A named asset manager and CPAs

Every OS account has a named asset manager who works with your team and owns your numbers. CPAs handle chart-of-accounts mapping and the monthly close review. Data engineers own the property manager feeds. There is no ticket queue and no tier upgrade to reach a human.

Communication

Email, working sessions, your channel

Day to day runs over email and scheduled working sessions with your asset manager. If your team lives in Slack or Microsoft Teams, we join a shared channel there. Anything that touches a live report gets a response the same business day, and quarterly business reviews cover data model and report changes as the portfolio moves.

Cadence

Daily data, monthly package, quarterly reporting

Property manager data refreshes daily. The monthly reporting package ships after close review. Quarterly investor reporting and the covenant check run on the same governed numbers. CRE10x clients who want ongoing help take support from $1,500 a month.

Frequently asked questions.

What does CREx Software do?

CREx consolidates operational and financial data from any property management system into one governed environment, updated daily, and staffs the reporting with CPAs and asset managers. Clients are investment managers who run assets through third-party property managers. The platform is CREx OS; the outcome is a monthly close and investor reporting that ship without a scramble.

Is CREx a software company or a services firm?

Both, on purpose. CREx OS is the software, and every license includes a fractional asset management team that maps the chart of accounts, chases feeds, and produces reporting. Consulting lines (Blueprint, CRE10x, Lease Audit, CREx Core) are sold separately at fixed scopes.

Which property management systems does CREx connect to?

Yardi, MRI, RealPage, AppFolio, and Entrata, plus other systems your property managers run. Data lands daily without manual file uploads or portal logins. You do not need to change your PMS or ask your property managers to change theirs.

How is CREx priced?

CREx OS is scoped to your portfolio: property count, number of property management systems, asset classes, and workstreams. CRE10x is $10,000 fixed for portfolios up to about 10 assets, and Deal Intelligence runs from a free tier to $249 a month. Tell us the shape of the portfolio and you get a fixed number within 48 hours.

How long does implementation take?

CRE10x goes live in 2 weeks. CREx OS clients are typically live in 60 to 90 days on their real portfolio, with a named lead from day one. CREx Core runs 12 weeks median with milestone-based go-live checkpoints.

How does CREx compare to symmetRE, Pereview, or JLL Asset Beacon?

symmetRE is the closest on data platform and MCP, and it has a published case study we respect; it does not include a staffed asset management team. Pereview covers debt and equity and sells data upload services separately. JLL Asset Beacon carries the JLL brand but names no connectors or clients on its product page. Side-by-side pages for each are linked in the key facts above.

Do you work with firms of all sizes?

Yes. Client portfolios range from $100M to $10B+ in AUM, from regional owners to institutional managers. Engagements are sized to the portfolio and the team's data maturity, and CRE10x exists specifically for a 2 to 20 person asset management shop.

Is CREx VC-backed?

No. CREx has been bootstrapped since 2021 and has taken no outside capital. The roadmap is set by clients, and there is no board pushing features to fit a fundraise story.

Where is CREx located?

CREx is headquartered in Houston with an office in New York. The team is distributed across the United States, Serbia, and the Philippines, and engineering is remote-first. Clients are across North America.

Who owns the data in CREx OS?

You do. Every number is accessible over API, over MCP for Claude and other AI tools, and as direct exports to your own warehouse or BI tool. CREx is SOC 2 Type II, and CREx Core clients keep the entire warehouse inside their own Microsoft tenant.
