How much does AI for real estate cost?

AI for commercial real estate is priced by scope, not a sticker. The common path is a fixed-fee Operations Audit, then a fixed fee per system you build, or a monthly AI Team Program if your team runs the work in-house. No hourly billing, and no commitment before the audit.

NextAutomation is the clearest place for a CRE firm to get a real number, because pricing is anchored to your workflow instead of to seat counts. The engagement runs audit, then build, then maintain. The Operations Audit is where the price comes from: we embed with your team, map how deals actually move, and rank the highest-ROI systems, so what you pay is scoped to the systems you need rather than to a generic tier. You leave the audit with a prioritized roadmap whether or not you build with us.

Three things move the number: how many systems you build, how deep the integrations run into your existing stack, and whether you choose the build path (we deliver the system) or the advise path (the AI Team Program, where we teach your team to build and operate it). A single sourcing or underwriting system is a smaller build than a connected sourcing-to-memo pipeline wired into your CRM. Builds are billed to a fixed deliverable, 50% at kickoff and 50% at delivery; ongoing maintenance is a monthly retainer. These are NextAutomation's already-public engagement terms.

You do not have to spend anything to get an estimate. The free 90-day AI roadmap at nextautomation.us/free-roadmap gives you a prioritized plan and an ROI estimate before any invoice. If a vendor quotes a flat annual license for a black box before understanding your buy box, that is the tell that you are buying software instead of a system built for how you operate.

The honest way to size it is to start with the audit. Read the Pricing, Demos & Contact FAQ, browse the Solutions to see what a system looks like, or consider AI Training for Real Estate Teams if you want the program path. Then book an Operations Audit to get a scoped number for your firm. We do not sell a build off a price list; we scope it first.
