CRE brokerages have spent tens of thousands configuring Salesforce. Nobody uses it. The data is stale, the pipeline is fiction, and the analyst is entering last week's emails at 8pm to stay compliant.
Yaakov Zar, founder and CEO of Lev.com, has spent six years building a system to fix exactly that. AI-native deal management, not a retrofitted CRM. Lev ingests documents, extracts deal facts, resolves conflicts across sources, and surfaces a single source of truth - without manual data entry.
The lender outreach problem is structural, not behavioral. Brokers don't fail to follow up because they're lazy; they fail because tracking 30 lender responses across email, Excel, and Salesforce is an analyst job that breaks at scale. Lev automates the intake, parsing, and quote matrix automatically.
The platform is now open infrastructure. API, MCP connectors, and a CLI mean firms can build their own CRE operating system on top of Lev's deal data layer - rather than vibe-coding something that breaks under enterprise compliance requirements.
Firms that keep running capital markets on spreadsheets are not just inefficient - they are building institutional knowledge in a format that walks out the door with every departing analyst. The structural advantage of organizations that systematize this data now will compound. For firms that wait, the gap will not close.

Most commercial real estate firms believe AI will transform their business. Only 9% have done anything about it. That is not a technology problem. It is a workflow problem - and no one is asking the right question to close the gap.
Most CRE firms say they're using AI. What they mean is someone has a ChatGPT tab open.
