A faster first-draft valuation tool for one team

Each valuation assignment started with a valuator manually entering a rent roll into a spreadsheet template, then searching a shared comparable sales database and copying relevant transactions across by hand. For a straightforward income approach assignment, this setup work took most of a day before any actual analysis or judgement began, and busy periods meant assignments queued up waiting for valuator time.

We built a tool that parses an uploaded rent roll, searches the firm's comparable sales database for the closest matches by asset type, location and size, and assembles a first-draft income approach model with the comparables already populated. Valuators review and adjust every input in a Next.js interface before signing off, with the tool handling setup so their time goes into judgement rather than data entry.

Routine income approach valuation assignments for mid-market commercial assets, comparable sales research, which now returns a ranked shortlist instead of a manual database search, and assignment turnaround during busy periods, where the queue of waiting assignments shortened once setup time dropped.
