Price

Buildout links a pricing page, so ask for the quote in writing for your team size, and set it against what you pay today for your CRM and marketing tools.

Where it fits

Buildout sits on two of our job pages: AI tools for commercial real estate brokers and CRM for commercial real estate. It is a brokerage platform, so the real test is whether your team will work in it every day. For the wider map, see commercial real estate software.

How to test it before you buy

  1. Load a real week of contacts, properties and deals from your current system, not sample records.
  2. Ask which data the AI uses to surface likely-to-sell owners, then test it on ten owners you already know.
  3. Produce one real marketing piece in the platform and time it against your usual process.
  4. Ask how you export your records if you leave, and in what format.

Checks that matter for Buildout

Run these on your own documents during the trial.

  1. A real listing

    Run one of your own recent deals through it, from notes to a finished deliverable.

  2. Numbers

    Check every figure against your source. A confident wrong comp costs more than a slow one.

  3. Your records

    Import a real sample, duplicates included, and see what the AI makes of it.

  4. Daily use

    Ask brokers to log a week of activity in it before you decide.
