Question 1

How is Siftt different from other CRE underwriting tools?

Accepted Answer

Most tools either extract data or run analysis. Siftt does the entire pipeline. More than a dozen specialized AI agents extract the rent roll, T12, and financials, match market comps, score every deal against your BuyBox, and sync the results into your own Excel underwriting model. Every number stays traceable to its exact source page, so nothing is a black box.

Question 2

Why use Siftt instead of ChatGPT or a generic AI tool?

Accepted Answer

Generic AI summarizes documents; it can't validate them. Siftt is purpose-built for commercial real estate underwriting: structured extraction with source-level traceability, market comparables, sensitivity analysis, BuyBox match scoring, and formula-intact Excel export. Every figure links back to its exact page or cell, so you verify instead of trusting blindly.

Question 3

How much faster is Siftt than manual underwriting?

Accepted Answer

A deal package that takes an analyst hours to screen extracts in minutes. Siftt's agents run in parallel: you upload the OM and watch the rent roll, comps, and underwriting fill in live, with no retyping and no copy-paste errors.

Question 4

Do I have to leave Excel or replace my model?

Accepted Answer

No. This is one of Siftt's biggest strengths. Siftt exports clean, formula-intact models and can sync directly into your own custom underwriting model. Your spreadsheets stay the source of truth; Siftt just fills them in faster.

Question 5

What file types can I upload?

Accepted Answer

OMs, rent rolls, and T12s as PDF or Excel, or paste the deal email text. Drag and drop works too.

Question 6

How fast is it really?

Accepted Answer

A full deal package extracts in minutes, and you watch fields fill in live as each agent finishes. Most users are analyzing their first deal within 5 minutes of signing up.

Question 7

Can deals come in automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On the Professional plan, Siftt auto-captures deals straight from your email inbox. New deal packages land in your pipeline without you lifting a finger.

Question 8

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

Under 5 minutes. Start a free trial, upload your first OM, and Siftt starts extracting immediately, with no onboarding calls or implementation projects required.

Question 9

How accurate is the extraction?

Accepted Answer

Every field is traceable to its exact source page or cell, so you verify instead of trusting blindly. Source validation is built in on every plan, and you can flag anything that looks off.

Question 10

What is source validation?

Accepted Answer

Each extracted number links to the exact page in the OM or cell in the rent roll it came from. One click takes you to the source, so diligence happens in seconds instead of cross-referencing documents by hand.

Question 11

What is BuyBox scoring?

Accepted Answer

You define your investment criteria once (asset type, unit count, cap rate, market, and more) and Siftt automatically grades every incoming deal against it with a live match score. High-fit deals surface instantly; low-relevance ones stop wasting your time.

Question 12

Can my team use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Professional plan includes shared pipelines, tasks, and notes with @mentions, so your whole acquisitions team works from the same deal data.

Question 13

How do I track deals through my pipeline?

Accepted Answer

A visual Kanban board moves deals through your stages, with a full timeline tracking every change and action. Professional adds custom pipeline stages tailored to your workflow, plus an interactive dashboard for analytics across your whole pipeline.

Question 14

What happens to old deals?

Accepted Answer

Every deal is archived and searchable. Past deals, their documents, and their underwriting stay retrievable whenever a market or seller comes back around.

Question 15

What's the difference between Essential and Professional?

Accepted Answer

Essential covers the core workflow: drag-and-drop deal intake, AI-powered extraction, source validation, timeline, and deal archive. Professional adds unlimited deals, auto deal intake from your email inbox, AI insights and recommendations, market and comps research, demographic analysis, custom underwriting model sync, an interactive dashboard, and team collaboration.

Question 16

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start a free trial and analyze your first deals in under 5 minutes. No demo call required for Essential; for Professional, book a demo and we'll tailor it to your workflow.
