Does Cherre have an API?

Yes — Cherre is fundamentally an API platform. It exposes a GraphQL interface (with REST endpoints also available) designed for programmatic access to its unified CRE data layer. Unlike traditional data providers that deliver bulk file exports or portal-only access, Cherre is built to be queried by your applications and automation workflows. Connecting via API is the intended use model, not a feature add-on.

What data can I pull from Cherre?

Cherre's data layer covers: property records and parcel data (APN, legal description, lot size, building characteristics), tax assessment history and delinquency flags, ownership records and corporate entity chains (LLC, trust, partnership traversal), recorded transactions and sale comps, lien and encumbrance records (mortgages, UCC filings, mechanic's liens, lis pendens), geospatial layers (zoning, flood zone, opportunity zone, jurisdictional overlays), and — depending on your subscription — lease comps and market rent data for specific asset classes. Coverage varies by market; your account team will confirm which data types are available in your target geographies.

Can I enrich my CRM automatically with Cherre?

Yes, and this is one of the highest-ROI use cases. Using n8n (or any HTTP-capable automation platform), you can trigger a Cherre API query the moment a new deal or contact is created in your CRM. The enrichment response — ownership name, entity chain, tax history, assessment value, last sale, active liens — is written back to the deal record before the analyst reviews it. For teams logging 50-100 new addresses per month, this eliminates hundreds of hours of manual data gathering per year.

How is Cherre different from a raw data provider like ATTOM or Regrid?

Raw data providers deliver data from a single source type in their proprietary schema — county assessor records, for example, or parcel geometries. Cherre sits above that layer: it ingests data from multiple providers and source types, normalizes them into a consistent schema, resolves entity relationships across sources (linking an LLC to its beneficial owner to their other assets), and delivers the unified result via a single API call. The practical difference is that one Cherre query replaces what would otherwise be three to five separate API calls to different providers, with manual de-duplication and normalization on your end.

Can AI use Cherre data to source deals?

Yes — and this is precisely where the combination becomes powerful. An AI model working from Cherre's unified, entity-resolved data layer can identify ownership concentration (a single beneficial owner holding multiple assets in a submarket), detect distress signals (tax delinquency plus a recent lien filing on an asset otherwise off-market), and cross-reference ownership graphs to surface motivated sellers who match your buy-box. None of these inferences are possible from siloed data sources. Cherre provides the factual foundation; AI provides the pattern recognition across it. See our [AI deal sourcing solution](/solutions/ai-deal-sourcing) for how this workflow is structured end to end.

What does 'entity resolution' actually mean for a CRE deal team?

Entity resolution is the process of recognizing that 'Maple Grove Holdings LLC', '1421 N Prospect Avenue Trust', and 'Robert Garfield' are all the same beneficial owner — and linking all their assets across jurisdictions into a single ownership record. In CRE, this matters because motivated sellers often obscure their portfolio concentration behind multiple legal entities. Cherre's entity resolution engine surfaces that concentration automatically, so your team knows before the first call that the seller you are approaching controls seven other assets in your market, three of which are behind on taxes. That context changes the conversation.

Is Cherre a self-serve platform or enterprise-only?

Cherre is an enterprise-tier platform with account-managed access and pricing. It is designed for investment firms, asset managers, and enterprise proptech teams that need programmatic data access at scale — not for solo analysts purchasing a monthly data subscription. Expect a sales and onboarding process rather than self-serve sign-up. Budget and timeline discussions happen with the Cherre team directly at cherre.com/contact.

Can I use Cherre to monitor a submarket for off-market signals without manually checking?

Yes. Cherre supports webhook-based event subscriptions: you define a geographic area (zip codes, county, custom polygon) and event types you care about (ownership transfers, lien filings, new transactions), and Cherre delivers a webhook payload to your automation endpoint every time a matching event records. An n8n workflow receives the payload, qualifies the asset against your buy-box, and creates a sourcing task or outreach brief for the responsible analyst — all without any manual monitoring.

Cherre Integration

AI & Automation

What It Does

Cherre is a commercial real estate data integration and unification platform — it is, by design, an API. Rather than being a point data provider, Cherre ingests data from dozens of sources (property records, tax assessments, ownership graphs, market comps, lease abstracts, demographic layers) and delivers a single, normalized, entity-resolved data layer to your applications and workflows via GraphQL and REST.

Why Real Estate Professionals Use It

CRE investment and asset management teams are uniquely data-constrained. A single deal involves property records from county assessors, ownership data from state secretary-of-state filings, comps from multiple brokers, tax history from ATTOM or Regrid, and lease abstracts from internal platforms — none of which speak to each other. Assembling the full picture on a single asset before an IC call currently takes an analyst hours of manual work.

Pipeline Enrichment: Auto-Enrich Every New Deal with Ownership + Tax + Comps

The moment an analyst adds an address to the acquisition pipeline — whether from a broker email, a direct submission form, or a CRM entry — this workflow queries the Cherre API to return the full ownership graph, tax and assessment history, and recent comparable sales. All data is pushed back into the deal record before the analyst opens it for the first time.

Trigger: New deal record created in CRM (HubSpot, Airtable, or Google Sheets) with a property address field populated

Workflow Steps

1n8n detects new deal created in CRM with property address

2n8n calls Cherre GraphQL API: query entity by address, return ownership chain, parcel data, tax history, and last 5 comps in submarket

3Cherre returns normalized JSON: beneficial owner name, LLC chain, APN, assessed value, last sale date, last sale price, active liens, and comp transactions

4n8n maps Cherre fields to CRM custom properties and updates the deal record

+2 more steps

Analysts walk into every deal review with a complete data picture — ownership, tax, comps — assembled automatically before the first call. Eliminates 45-90 minutes of manual data gathering per deal and ensures no ownership or lien signal is missed.

Triggers & Actions

Connect Cherre to your workflows with powerful triggers and actions

Triggers

Ownership Transfer Recorded (Webhook)

Cherre fires a webhook event when a deed or ownership transfer is recorded on a subscribed property or within a subscribed geographic area.

Trigger an off-market sourcing alert the moment a commercial property in your target submarket records a new deed — before any broker begins assembling a marketing package.

Tax Delinquency or Lien Filed (Webhook)

Receive a webhook notification when a tax delinquency, mechanics lien, or lis pendens is filed against a property in your watchlist or target area.

Detect distress signals on assets in your acquisition pipeline before the seller acknowledges them, allowing your team to approach with an informed, timeline-sensitive offer.

New Comparable Transaction Recorded

Cherre notifies your workflow when a new comparable sale records in a submarket you are monitoring, updating your comp set in real time.

Automatically update your live underwriting model with new comps the moment they record, so IC materials always reflect the latest market evidence.

Actions

Query Entity by Address

Submit a property address to the Cherre GraphQL API and receive a normalized entity record: APN, ownership chain, tax history, assessment value, parcel geometry.

Enrich every new deal entry in your CRM with full property and ownership data in under one second, triggered on deal creation.

Traverse Ownership Graph

Given an entity (LLC, trust, individual), query Cherre for all related entities and associated properties across jurisdictions.

Before entering negotiations, identify all other assets a prospective seller controls in your market — including overleveraged positions that signal motivated seller status.

Fetch Comparable Sales

Query Cherre for verified comparable transactions by asset class, submarket, vintage, and size range, returned as structured JSON.

Pre-populate the comp tab of an underwriting model with verified Cherre data the moment a deal enters the underwriting stage — no manual comp hunting.

Fetch Tax and Assessment History

Retrieve multi-year tax assessment history, effective tax rate, and any delinquency flags for a given APN.

Pull historical assessment trends into your pro forma to validate your tax line assumption and flag properties where assessments are below market (tax reset risk at acquisition).

Retrieve Lien and Encumbrance Data

Query recorded liens, mortgages, UCC filings, and encumbrances against a property or entity.

Flag active mechanic's liens or subordinate debt before advancing an acquisition to LOI — a standard diligence step now automated.

Geospatial and Zoning Query

Retrieve zoning classification, flood zone designation, opportunity zone status, and jurisdictional overlays for a parcel.

Automatically tag every new pipeline asset as 'OZ-Eligible' or 'Flood Zone AE' in your CRM based on Cherre's geospatial layer, without a separate GIS platform.

Subscribe to Submarket Watchlist

Register a geographic polygon, zip code, or jurisdiction with Cherre to receive ongoing event notifications for any ownership, lien, or transaction changes in that area.

Set a persistent watchlist on your three target submarkets so every recording event — deed, lien, permit — fires an event to your workflow without manual monitoring.

Batch Property Enrichment

Submit a list of addresses or APNs in a single API call and receive normalized enrichment data for all records in one response.

After importing a new broker list or comp set, batch-enrich all addresses against Cherre to resolve ownership and fill in missing fields before they enter your pipeline.

Setup Guide

Get started in approximately 1-2 hours for initial API connection and first enrichment workflow; additional 2-4 hours for webhook-based sourcing automations

Prerequisites

Cherre enterprise subscription (contact cherre.com/contact for access — enterprise-tier platform)
Cherre API credentials: GraphQL endpoint URL, API key or OAuth client credentials (provisioned by your Cherre account team)
n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) with HTTP Request node available
A property pipeline or asset register to enrich (CRM, Airtable, Google Sheets, or similar)

Obtain API Credentials from Your Cherre Account Team

Cherre is an enterprise platform with provisioned access. Your account team will provide: the GraphQL API endpoint URL, an API key or OAuth 2.0 client ID/secret, and documentation for the specific data schemas your subscription covers. Store these in n8n as a credential set named 'Cherre API — Production'.

Ask your Cherre account team to share the GraphQL schema explorer (introspection endpoint) URL — it lets you inspect every available field and query structure interactively before writing your first workflow.

Test Your First GraphQL Query in n8n

In n8n, add an HTTP Request node. Set method to POST, URL to your Cherre GraphQL endpoint. Under Headers, add 'Authorization: Bearer [your-api-key]' and 'Content-Type: application/json'. In the Body, paste a test query: { property(address: "123 Main St, Austin, TX") { apn ownerName assessedValue lastSaleDate } }. Execute and confirm a valid JSON response.

Start with a simple address query on a well-known property to confirm connectivity before building complex ownership-graph traversals.

Map Cherre Response Fields to Your CRM Schema

Review the JSON structure Cherre returns for your primary query types (property enrichment, ownership graph, comps). Create a field-mapping document: which Cherre fields map to which CRM custom properties or spreadsheet columns. This mapping becomes the transformation logic in your n8n Set node.

Cherre's normalized schema is consistent across jurisdictions. Build the mapping once and it applies to every market you operate in — no per-county adjustments needed.

Build the Pipeline Enrichment Workflow

Create an n8n workflow: CRM Trigger (new deal created) → Cherre HTTP Request (query by address) → Set node (map fields) → CRM Action (update deal record with enriched data) → Slack notification. Test with a real pipeline entry. Verify the deal record is populated with ownership, tax, and comp data before you open it.

Add error handling: if Cherre returns no match for an address, log the failure and create a task for the analyst to verify the address format rather than silently failing.

Configure Webhook Subscriptions for Event-Driven Sourcing

Work with your Cherre account team to configure webhook subscriptions for your target submarkets. Provide the geographic boundaries (zip codes, county FIPS codes, or polygon coordinates) and event types (ownership transfers, lien filings, new transactions). Cherre will deliver signed webhook payloads to your n8n webhook URL when events occur.

Start with one submarket and one event type (ownership transfers) before expanding. Validate the payload structure and your n8n handling before subscribing to high-volume event streams.
