Where does Realm AI get its commercial real estate data?

Short answer: Jackson Reiter says Realm uses a waterfall of data providers, starting with direct partnerships, then public and government sources such as New York City's online housing data. It will not provide owners' personal details.

Sam Nadler [6:08]: Very cool. And, I'm not that familiar with the space, like, as mentioned, but I'm curious. I know a lot of these sources of information are hard to access. You have to subscribe to them. Is is Realm bringing that in to the user so they, don't have to pay for 20 disparate services? They all have it through Realm, specifically through the self-service platform or the other one?

Jackson Reiter [6:32]: Yeah. Certainly, there's a few pieces of information that we just simply wouldn't have access to. If you wanna know the birth date, Social Security number, and home address of the owner of a building, we can't give that to you, and we never would. But as far as, like, the things that are pertinent to a deal, we can get pretty much everything. Now, certainly, some properties in much more rural areas or underserved areas, there might be a little bit of a discrepancy in terms of coverage. But far and wide, we're covering everything. And we have more directly to the question, we have a waterfall of data providers. So we'll start with kind of the direct partnerships we have, some of these data feed companies, work our way down through the chain there, and then we'll supplement with public sources. We'll supplement with, direct relationships with government sources. I'm sitting here in New York City today.

Jackson Reiter [7:23]: New York City's kinda led the way in putting all of their housing information online, and we can connect directly to that. And we'll just do a simple search to find everything else. This is the beauty of AI is that you can have all of these agents in communication with each other kind of delegating to each other of you go get that, I'll go get this. I really hope that they talk to each other in that way on the back end. I haven't looked at the logs, but that would be quite funny. But that is essentially how it works. You can go and find whatever you need to get the deal done.

Sam Nadler [7:50]: Hiring great engineers is broken. Too slow, too expensive. We built a better way. Ryz Labs gives you top tier LatAm engineers fully vetted, technically deep, and ready to ship. Not resumes, not guesswork, just people who build.
