Commercial Real Estate
Your brokers closed $40M last year.You found out in January.
Every broker tracks their own pipeline in their own spreadsheet. Management gets a revenue number after the fact, never a forecast. Commission disputes eat up accounting hours. Two brokers pitch the same prospect without knowing. We embed with your team, map every deal from first call to close, and deploy AI specialists that give you real-time visibility into the operation your brokers actually run.
The Problem
Where the money
is going.
Knowledge
Deal Pipeline Visibility
Your managing director asks for a pipeline report. What comes back is a patchwork of spreadsheets, each formatted differently, each updated at a different cadence. One senior broker tracks deals in Outlook folders. Another uses a personal Excel file with color-coded tabs. The CRM has maybe 40% of active deals entered. Management can't forecast Q3 revenue because the data that would make it possible lives in 12 different places, maintained by people who have no incentive to share it.
Cost
Commission Split Disputes
A co-brokerage deal closes for $2.1M in gross commission. The referring broker expects 25%. The originating broker's override agreement says 10% off the top. The associate who sourced the tenant expects a split. Accounting spends two weeks reconstructing who agreed to what, pulling emails from eight months ago. For a 30-broker firm, these disputes consume hundreds of hours a year and delay payouts that affect retention.
Process
Comp Database and Market Research
Three brokers pull the same CoStar report for three different pitches in the same week. Each one manually copies lease comps into their own presentation template. Meanwhile, your internal comp database has 200 deals from last year that nobody entered because transaction coordinators were backlogged. The result: brokers pitch with stale comps, prospects see inconsistent data from the same firm, and the institutional knowledge from your own deals gets lost.
Risk
Client Overlap and Broker Productivity
Two senior brokers call the same building owner in the same week with different pitches. Neither checked the CRM because neither trusts it. One broker closes $5.2M in commissions. Another broker with a comparable territory closes $800K. The gap isn't effort. It's process. The top producer has a research analyst feeding her qualified leads. The other broker cold-calls from a list he built three years ago. Nobody compares their workflows because brokerage culture treats each broker as an independent business.
How We Work
Three steps. Hands on.
We embed with your team, map your operation, find what no one could see, and deploy specialists that fix it. You get a dedicated team, not a login.
Map
We start with a structured discovery across your entire brokerage. Our team interviews managing directors, senior brokers, associate brokers, research analysts, transaction coordinators, and marketing coordinators. We connect to your CRM, deal management platform, CoStar feeds, commission tracking system, and marketing tools. The result is your Blueprint: a complete, live map of how deals actually move through your firm. Not the process manual. The real workflows, handoffs, and information gaps that vary from broker to broker.
Uncover
We analyze everything we mapped. Our platform finds the pipeline data gaps that make forecasting impossible, the commission structures creating disputes every quarter, the duplicate research spend across brokers pulling identical market data, the client overlaps that damage your reputation with prospects. We validate every finding with your team before acting on it. Not a one-time audit. Always running, always finding more.
Execute
Every finding comes with a concrete plan and a deploy button. We build AI specialists that handle the fix end to end. Consolidate deal pipeline data into a single live view, flag commission structure conflicts before they reach accounting, eliminate redundant market research pulls, surface client overlaps before two brokers call the same prospect. You approve, they run. We stay with you to make sure they deliver.

From day one.
Week 1
Discovery
We talk to every role in your brokerage.
AI-led conversations with every managing director, broker, research analyst, transaction coordinator, and marketing coordinator. Not surveys. Real conversations that capture the deal tracking workarounds, the commission agreement ambiguities, the prospecting methods that no system records.
Month 1
Blueprint + First Savings
Your Blueprint is live. Agents are saving money.
A complete, verified map of how your brokerage actually operates, from lead generation through deal close and commission payout. The first pipeline visibility gaps are identified. AI specialists are already consolidating deal data, flagging commission conflicts, and surfacing client overlaps.
Ongoing
Continuous Returns
Savings compound. Every quarter.
Yield keeps finding inefficiencies, deploying specialists, and compounding savings. Pipeline forecasting gets sharper as more deal data flows in. Research duplication drops as brokers access a shared knowledge base. Commission disputes decline as structures are documented upfront. The platform pays for itself and keeps going.
FAQ
Common questions.
Our last Salesforce rollout cost $200K and brokers stopped logging deals within three months, so why would this be any different?
Salesforce failed because it asked brokers to do data entry with no immediate payoff. Yield never asks a broker to log a deal. It pulls pipeline data from where brokers already work: email threads, calendar meetings, deal documents, and CoStar research pulls. The pipeline view management needs gets assembled without adding a single step to the broker's day. Your Salesforce instance can stay as-is. Yield reads from it where data exists and fills the gaps from other sources.
When two brokers on different desks pursue the same building owner, how does Yield handle the attribution and commission split?
Yield surfaces client overlaps before they become disputes. It cross-references prospect contact activity across all brokers, flagging when two people in the firm are engaging the same owner or tenant rep. The managing director gets an alert with the timeline of who contacted whom and when. Commission split terms get documented at the point of overlap, not eight months later when accounting is reconstructing email chains. The firm sets the attribution policy. Yield enforces visibility around it.
Our brokers source most deals through personal relationships and referral networks, not through CRM-tracked leads, so what can Yield actually see?
Relationship-sourced deals are the hardest to track and the most valuable to understand. Yield picks up signals from email correspondence, meeting patterns, document sharing, and deal closing data. It doesn't need a broker to tag a lead source in a dropdown. When a senior broker closes three deals with the same tenant rep over 18 months, the pattern is visible in the communication data. Management gets pipeline visibility into relationship-driven deals without brokers filling out a single form.
What protections exist for deal pipeline confidentiality when our broker desks compete internally on tenant representation assignments?
Yield supports role-based visibility controls. Managing directors see the full cross-firm pipeline. Individual brokers see only their own deal data and any overlaps that directly involve their prospects. Competing desks don't get access to each other's pipeline details. The platform flags conflicts to leadership, not to the competing broker. Your compliance team can configure exactly which roles see what level of detail before any specialists deploy.
