Dealpath, the real estate industry’s leading investment and deal management platform – has announced that in 2024, it expanded its suite of cutting-edge digital tools to empower its roster of global institutional clients, including Blackstone, Nuveen, LaSalle, CBRE Investment Management, and MetLife, to succeed in today’s dynamic real estate landscape and capitalize on technological advancements in the industry. Additionally, the company accomplished a full brand refresh to reflect its evolution and growth since launching the real estate deal management category ten years ago.

“2024 was a year of separation in PropTech, with only the strongest solutions demonstrating continued growth. As the market leader in CRE investment and deal management software, Dealpath is at the forefront of industry innovation and delivered unparalleled value to our clients,” said Mike Sroka, CEO and cofounder of Dealpath. “As the real estate market continues to evolve, we’ve built out the Dealpath platform to address the shifting needs of real estate professionals and are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation and empowering our customers with the digital tools they need to manage risk and seize opportunity in a rapidly changing landscape.”

New and Existing Client Growth

Dealpath continues to compound growth each and every period, adding 50 new clients across real estate debt and equity in 2024, including KingSett, Federal Realty, Town Lane, and Stockbridge. These additions join a roster of over 300 existing institutional clients, representing leading global institutions to mid-market and regional firms.

Leading the Industry with World-Class Product Innovation:

The real estate market in 2024 was impacted by several key shifts, including a reduction in interest rates, a revival of activity across industry sectors such as data centers, living, industrial, retail, and office, and the growing prominence of AI-enabled technology. Amid these market dynamics, Dealpath introduced new key products and technology integrations to its platform to help clients navigate this evolving landscape:

  • Dealpath Connect for deal sourcing and screening: Launched alongside partners JLL and LaSalle Investment Management, Dealpath Connect is a first-of-its-kind solution that connects investment sales brokers with prospective buyers within the Dealpath platform. The real estate industry has long lacked a solution to help buyers identify and track deals disseminated by brokers, leading to numerous missed opportunities and gross inefficiency for all parties. Dealpath Connect effectively bridges the buy and sell sides of real estate transactions into a single platform, allowing global real estate dealmakers to bolster existing relationships and execute more deals with digital speed and efficiency. Sell-side partners are realizing more than an 80 percent increase in visibility of their opportunities with top institutional clients and more than a 30 percent increase in Confidentiality Agreements signed. Institutional investment managers leveraging the platform are achieving more than a 200 percent increase in relevant deals screened, and a 30 percent decrease in errors in underwriting, diligence and deal execution.

  • MSCI RCA Integration for a comprehensive Comps Solution: Sourcing relevant comparables to inform and validate underwriting assumptions and support holistic data-driven investment decisions is critical for investment firms but remains a manual and time-consuming process. In November, Dealpath announced a partnership with MSCI to integrate its widely adopted Real Capital Analytics (RCA) solution. The collaboration will deliver an integrated real estate comparables (comps) data solution that enables commercial real estate investors to review sales comps from RCA within the Dealpath platform, providing market insights and streamlining deal screening, underwriting, and diligence processes along with portfolio insights for a competitive edge in today’s dynamic real estate landscape.

  • AI Extract for building a data advantage: AI Extract automatically captures data from every offering memorandum (OM) or broker listing through proprietary AI technology developed by Dealpath’s in-house team of Silicon Valley engineers, helping teams capture every deal and property that crosses their desks. Once data extraction of an OM is complete, investment teams can review the information pulled, make updates, and save it as a deal or comp in Dealpath. AI Extract eliminates the countless hours of manual work previously needed to hunt for necessary data from OMs and flyers, allowing teams to evaluate more deals, build a proprietary market information database for a competitive data advantage and prioritize identifying the best opportunities.

  • BI-Style Dashboards and Data Visualization for executive insight: Having a centralized database to standardize and analyze information is essential to investment firms’ ability to identify market trends, double down on high-performing strategies and make informed decisions to pursue profitable opportunities. Dealpath’s enhanced dashboard reporting builds on tools that already offered the most sophisticated analysis in real estate investment to help firms gather even deeper instant, actionable insights through the centralization of real-time data presented in easy-to-consume, customizable visualizations such as bar, line and pie charts combined with single values and tables of data.

  • Conversations for efficient and effective team collaboration: Fractured communication across email, meetings, chats, spreadsheets, documents, project management tools, and in-office dialogue can leave stakeholders out of the loop and create execution risk. Dealpath’s new conversations tool embeds discussions directly into deal databases, making collaboration more efficient. Rather than having disparate discussions in emails, meetings, and chat applications, firms can now have conversations directly in Dealpath to streamline communication, memorialize data, and create more transparency across teams.

Brand Refresh for Next Phase of Growth

Dealpath has refreshed its brand and built an additional suite of offerings to ensure its clients are operating with the data-driven insight they need to succeed in today’s real estate industry. In October, the company announced the launch of a brand refresh, reflecting the company’s growth and vision for the bright and inevitable future of real estate investment management. Through this brand refresh, Dealpath is poised to redefine the future of real estate investment management while delivering unparalleled value to its roster of marquee institutional clients.

The company will soon unveil its new logo, reflecting Dealpath’s commitment to advancing real estate technology by blending innovation and precision within its design principles.

Key Leadership Hires

In October, the company announced Pei Hung’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer. She leads strategic finance, financial planning and analysis, accounting, and general administrative functions. Hung joined Dealpath from CloudTrucks, where she was Head of Strategic Finance. She also held other leadership roles in finance at software-as-a-service (SaaS) growth company Housecall Pro and brings over a decade of investment banking and principal investing experience having worked for leading institutions such as UBS and MetLife.

Shortly thereafter, in November, Dealpath announced the appointment of Ursula Sage as Senior Director of Product Management. Sage manages Dealpath’s product managers, designers, and analysts teams. She brings over a decade of progressive experience in managerial roles within product teams at companies such as Copper Inc., Appfolio, and Propertyware.
