How much does an AI consultant for commercial real estate cost?
The prices CRE AI consultants publish, firm by firm, each with its source and the date we read it. Then the ways they charge, what to ask before you compare, and what the money should buy.
Short answer

“Not published” is not a claim that a firm has no price. It means the page we read describes the price as scoped or quoted, or we did not find one, in the words shown. Ask the firm.

Pricing models
The ways CRE AI consultants charge
Five models cover the consulting and training prices we read. A firm can use more than one, so ask which applies to each stage of the work.
A paid strategy call or workshop
One fee for one session: a call with the consultant, or a workshop for the team.
- AI Consulting Network. A 45-minute AI Strategy Call at $500, credited toward any engagement. its consulting page
- AI for CRE Collective. A two-hour AI Kickstart Workshop at $3,500. its team-training page
A fixed-price engagement
One price for a defined piece of work with named deliverables, agreed before it starts.
- PSV. AI Consulting typically costs $10K to $25K, fixed before the engagement starts, with ten named deliverables. PSV AI Consulting
A monthly retainer
A monthly fee for standing advice, or for a part-time AI or IT lead.
- PSV. Monthly advisory and training costs $2K to $5K a month, in three plans at $2,000, $3,000 and $5,000 a month. PSV AI Consulting
- AI Consulting Network. Advisory retainers of $2,500 to $5,000 a month. its consulting page
- Innovation Vista. Typical bands of $4,000 to $50,000 a month, month-to-month, from weekly advisory to an interim CIO. its pricing guide
Per-person training or membership

- GowerCrowd. Its accelerator is $997 per person. its accelerator page
- CRE AI Studio. Memberships are $50, $75 and $100 a month. its pricing page

- NextAutomation. Its own comparison table describes its pricing as engagement-based: a paid audit scopes the build first, with “no standard public price list.” its comparison page

Scope
What to settle before you compare prices
Four things change what a price covers. Settle them before you compare two numbers.
Functions in scope
Each business function adds workflows to map and people to sit with. PSV's AI Consulting price depends on the functions in scope.
Source: PSV AI Consulting.Systems and data
Every system that holds firm context has to be mapped: email, spreadsheets, drives, the CRM, property systems. Scattered data takes longer to bring together.
Security review
Ask whether the plan is written with your IT team or around it. PSV sets the security posture with the client's IT team.
Source: PSV AI Consulting.Whether a build is included
Ask whether the price covers the plan alone or the system too. At PSV the consulting engagement scopes each build, and build pricing is not published.

Deliverables
What you should get for the money
A first engagement should end in documents you keep. PSV's ends in these ten. Hold any proposal against the list.
