Founder building auditable AI valuations for multifamily - full report in ~5 min, not 4 weeks. CRE + PropTech. First one's free 👇crestimate.ai Charlotte, NCJoined June 2026
What's your first reaction when someone mentions AI? Fear, skepticism, excitement?
Everyone has a different feeling about it, especially when it comes to how it will impact our work.
That difference of opinion is not limited to only AI. Take a room full of day traders, they'll all have a different opinion about where to put your money. Take a room full of economists, and you'll hear arguments on which way the economy is heading.
Take a room full of appraisers, they'll all have an opinion about the real estate market. We are humans - we form an opinion as a subject matter expert, yet that opinion may be very different than your peer.
AI is agnostic. There are no feelings.
That's why we built CREstimate. When evaluating numerous multifamily assets, the value should be influenced by facts, not feelings.
Our proprietary CRESI (commercial real estate sentiment index) quantifies market sentiment. Market to market, asset to asset, we're asking the questions in the same order so you can make an informed decision to dig deeper or to pass.
Curious what that looks like? Send me an address and I'll run a report and send it to you today.
Multifamily appraisals today: 3–4 weeks, $$$ thousands of dollars. One person's opinion.

What if today was your last day and you didn't know it?
Living life one minute, and gone the next.
Would what you're doing today matter? Would your family be secure? How would you be remembered?
If you did an evaluation of your life today, are there more dreams or memories? Is the list of all the things you wish you would have done longer than the list of things you've done, experienced, tried and failed?
If that's the case, here's your permission to go live. Having just lost a great one at 49 last week, these questions have occupied the majority of my mental space since I heard the news 3 days ago.
Ross lived more life in his 49 years than the we could hope to in 100. He never missed an opportunity for an experience, a round of golf, an impromptu trip or even just a good conversation. He invested more in making memories than anyone I've ever known.
Yes, work is important. Work is meaningful. That is why we're here, building, grinding, taking risks. Putting in the effort to show up and create a life not riddled by mediocrity.
But above all, don't leave the bucket list for "one day...".
Go on vacation and leave your computer at home.
Be present with your family.
Take risks.
Live boldly.
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of dust, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'"
-Hunter S. Thompson
Ross exemplified this quote.
Live like Ross.
7/ Not by replacing the appraiser's judgment. By making the sentiment piece transparent and repeatable: same questions, same order, every time. That's what we're building at CREstimate.
What's the biggest valuation gap you've seen on a deal?
6/ The most important number in the deal is the least transparent one. That gap between how much it matters and how little we can defend it is the problem worth solving.
1/ A $4M appraisal gap on a single deal sounds extreme.
It's more common than the CRE industry likes to admit. Here's why valuations are quietly the most broken part of the process 🧵
Launch vulnerability is scary.
It’s comfortable to hide behind the veil of development when you’re building something new.
People congratulate you as if your product is already a success.
When launch arrives, the veil drops and the vulnerability shows up.
The stress to get your first paying user.
The fear that your tool shows a glitch and doesn’t perform as tested.
That is when you know it’s time to roll up your sleeves and do the work.
I was in 5th grade the first time I ever 'signed-on' to the internet. My daughters just finished 3rd, 5th and 7th grade. I can help but wonder how AI will evolve their world as the internet evolved ours.
