Commercial real estate is entering a new era—one where digital platforms aren’t just convenient extras, but the core infrastructure powering modern dealmaking. According to insights released by PR Newswire, Crexi is rapidly becoming one of the nation’s most influential CRE marketplaces—transforming how professionals buy, sell, analyze, and close commercial property transactions.

A Digital-First Future That CRE Professionals Are Embracing

Gone are the days of juggling spreadsheets, never-ending email chains, and outdated market data. Today’s CRE professionals are demanding a unified, intelligent digital ecosystem—and Crexi is stepping in to deliver exactly that. CEO Michael DeGiorgio explains that digital marketplaces are now foundational to the industry, helping pros work smarter, faster, and more accurately than ever before.

What CRE Professionals Want Most

  • Comprehensive property intelligence—comps, ownership data, records, and analytics in one place.
  • AI-driven lead scoring and qualification to prioritize serious buyers.
  • Transaction workflows that reduce deal timelines from months to weeks.
  • Transparent bidding systems that help sellers capture true market value.
  • Free listing options paired with high-impact digital marketing tools.

Crexi now integrates more than 153 million property records, nationwide comps, auction tools, and automated deal management—serving over 2 million monthly active users and facilitating more than $1 trillion in total transactions. The platform has quickly become a central hub for today’s CRE workflow.

A Growing Demand for Smarter Technology

Recent studies show that 63% of CRE firms plan to increase their technology budgets by up to 25% over the next two years. Professionals don’t just want digital tools—they want technology that reinvents the dealmaking process, reducing errors, slashing delays, and empowering real-time decision-making.
