**CRE’s Shift to Digital‑First Platforms Highlights Need for Smarter, Faster Tools**
/PRNewswire/ – Crexi, the top U.S. commercial real‑estate marketplace and data hub, announced new findings on how digital marketplaces are reshaping the industry.
CRE professionals now demand more than basic listings. They seek unified platforms that cover the entire transaction cycle—from discovery and market analysis to deal management and closing—eliminating costly, fragmented workflows. Historically, brokers used separate tools and manual processes for marketing, comps, and transaction data. Research by the Building Lifecycle Management Initiative shows that fragmented systems waste hours pulling data from multiple sources, introduce errors, and extend deal timelines.
“Commercial real estate has entered an era where digital marketplaces are foundational, not optional,” said Michael DeGiorgio, Crexi’s founder and CEO. “The most successful professionals leverage technology to make smarter, faster, data‑driven decisions. At Crexi, we’re building tools that digitize the transaction process and enhance the intelligence and efficiency of every deal.”
**What CRE Professionals Want from Digital Platforms**
- **All‑in‑one Property Intelligence**: Instant access to records, sales comps, ownership data, and AI‑powered market insights within the listing platform, speeding due diligence.
- **AI‑Driven Lead Qualification**: Automatic scoring of serious prospects and comprehensive activity tracking—every click, inquiry, and view in a single dashboard.
- **End‑to‑End Transaction Management**: From outreach to document processing, automated workflows cut deal timelines from months to weeks and reduce human error.
- **Competitive Transparency**: Auction and bidding features drive price discovery, create competitive tension, and help sellers reach market value while giving buyers pricing confidence.
- **Zero‑Friction Market Entry**: Free listings paired with advanced marketing tools empower brokers to gain exposure and generate leads, democratizing access to professional‑grade resources.
