Full Service Real Estate Due Diligence

Once an LOI or PSA is in place, our due diligence team secures and verifies all information required for a sound investment. Coordinating with third parties and all transaction stakeholders requires human finesse and persistence.

We scrub GLs, income statements, utility bills, bank statements, and more to create a best in class presentation with professional data visualizations and compelling copy.

How do capital expense projections strengthen negotiations?

Our capital expense projections help sellers anticipate buyer investment theses and negotiate more effectively.

We analyze buyer expectations for HVAC, roofs, paint, lobby upgrades, façade improvements, and more — enabling sellers to adjust pricing, offer credits, or complete improvements proactively.

We also identify upside opportunities such as approved expansions or entitlements that strengthen seller positioning.

Defensible NOI™ is a core CREModels deliverable: a thoroughly validated net operating income figure that eliminates negotiation wildcards.

Our analysts:

• Neutralize variables buyers may use to reduce NOI
• Clarify triple net recovery assumptions
• Provide sellers with confidence in their valuation

Defensible NOI™ improves broker selection, pricing strategy, and negotiation outcomes.
