About - Real Requirements
Founded in 2016, RealReq transforms how commercial real estate brokers manage property requirements and listings by turning email chaos into actionable intelligence.
The Email Solution for Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate brokers receive dozens of property requirements and listings daily via email—from clients, colleagues, and various listing services. Managing this flood of information while trying to match properties to client needs has become overwhelming.
RealReq solves this by automatically processing your real estate emails through advanced AI technology. Simply forward your property emails to RealReq, and our system:
- Extracts key property details and requirements using multimodal AI
- Matches listings to requirements intelligently
- Sends you curated summaries instead of information overload
- Enables one-click approval workflows via secure email tokens
- Maintains a searchable database of all your properties and requirements
Built by Industry Veterans
RealReq was developed in collaboration with Structure, a business process technology consulting group headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas. The team brings together deep commercial real estate expertise with cutting-edge AI technology to create practical solutions that brokers actually need.
Licensed Professionals Only
RealReq is exclusively available to licensed commercial real estate brokers and their authorized staff members. This ensures our community maintains the highest professional standards and that all users understand the complexities of commercial real estate transactions.
