The problem

AI in CRE is relentless noise, impossible to keep up with.

If you're running Claude/ChatGPT/CoPilot, you already feel it.

01

You've used ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude. Just the chat box.

These are workspaces, not search bars. Claude alone runs Chat, Cowork, Code, and your phone. You have been working one corner of one tab and calling that AI.

02

You bought the course. It was generically built.

Generic CRE-AI content, recorded once and sold to everyone: information you can find and search online, without the practical context to apply it on a live deal.

03

Hype on one side, PhD papers on the other.

The middle is missing: real AI research applied to real deals. So you are left to bridge acquisitions and neural networks by yourself.

04

No one is setting the standard.

A thousand tools and a new model every week, and not one institution built to push CRE forward with clarity instead of noise.

Don’t worry

We get it.

We have lived every one of these, building AI inside institutional CRE firms. The Institute is the missing middle, built so you do not have to bridge it alone.

AI Foundation Integrity

The problem was never the tools. It was the foundation no one poured. Pour ours, built inside institutional CRE firms today, and become the operator your firm cannot afford to lose.

Who teaches it

Built by CRE operators, AI engineers, and PhDs who actually get it.

Led by Zed Truong, founder of the CRE AI Institute. He has closed $1B+ in commercial real estate transactions and underwritten $11B+ across asset classes. The team has shipped production AI, with experience spanning PGIM, Goldman Sachs, and AWS. This is who you learn from.

Learn the method

We show the work

The work you already do, done in minutes.

Not a promise on a slide. This is the work you produce in the program, finding deals, closing them, and operating them, and the time it takes once your system runs. You build it live on your own deals, with the room and weekly office hours when you get stuck. Institutional standard, while everyone still working by hand falls behind.

And more

A sample, not the full menu. Your system produces dozens of these across sourcing, closing, and asset management.

Figures are typical for the workflows taught. Your deal, your files, your numbers.

Produce these on your own deals.

Build your first workflow

The shift

Stop using AI like a chatbot. Start running it like a team.

The firms winning with AI are not writing better prompts. They run AI systems: an analyst, a deal sourcer, an asset manager, each running a full workflow inside their own templates and tools. A program and a community, not a video library.

01

The room

A vetted room of professionals.

Brokers, acquisitions, and principals who close deals. Answers from people who hold your seat, not from Reddit.

02

The network

Relationships for the AI decade.

Connect with serious professionals spearheading AI in CRE and build relationships that compound over the next decade.

03

The career

Become your firm’s AI leader.

The most engaged members get introduced to recruiters and firms hiring AI-fluent CRE talent. Your standing in the room becomes your next move.

04

The credential

Get AI-certified, get hired.

In beta

Earn your AI certification and we open doors to the top-tier CRE firms racing to hire AI-fluent talent.

05

The summits

Events and conferences.

In beta

Members-only summits and a presence at the industry's biggest conferences, where you see new tools live and catch deals before they hit the market.

06

The faculty

Led by operators who shipped.

Taught by people deploying AI inside Cushman- and PGIM-tier firms today, not lecturing about it.

07

The build

A program, not a video library.

You build live on your own deals and walk away with systems that keep running, not a prompt list you never open.

08

The trust gate

Safe with a live OM, not just a demo.

The one thing no generic AI training will touch: a confidentiality-safe way to run real deal docs through AI without leaking a thing.

09

The defensible number

Every figure survives committee.

Source-traced to the page, with a named human who owns it. The answer to 'where did this come from' that black-box tools can't give.

10

The living library

Mapped to your deal lifecycle.

Sourcing, underwriting, IC memos, BOVs, LP letters, the work that already pays you, with playbooks we refresh as the tools change.

Side by side

Put it next to the alternatives.

A tool list overwhelms you. Generic AI training lectures you, then leaves you to implement alone. This installs the system, with the room and the team building it beside you.

The first 30 days

Where you will be.

01Day 1

You are inside

  • Meet the cohort and pick the track for your seat
  • Copy your first blueprint and point it at a live deal
02Week 1

First workflow live

An AI-native seat

  • A working system running on your own deals, and the AI Fluency Certificate earned
  • Finished the certificate without your first win? That is the refund line. Use it.

The certificate is self-paced, so the timeline is yours. If you finish the AI Fluency Certificate within your first month and you haven't gotten your first win, we refund that month in full. If it isn't valuable, we don't want your money.

On top of the 7-day free trial: $0 today, and your first paid month is covered by the guarantee. Cancel anytime, in two clicks.

Diligence before commitment

You saw the work before this line.

We showed the builds, the time they save, and the people who teach them. Look through the free resources before you reserve. Your early member access rate is then locked for life.

If you finish the AI Fluency Certificate in your first month and it hasn't paid off, we refund that month. No risk in trying it.

Source-traceable outputs. The same standard we hold for institutional clients.

Free for 7 days. Foundations opens the moment you join, and courses unlock as you build. Cancel anytime.

Early member access rate locked for life from $69/mo, cancel anytime from your account.

By the end, you walk away with

  • A working underwriting system running on your own deals
  • An IC memo workflow with source-traceable numbers
  • Your buy-box deal sourcer, live and pulling contacts
  • Every CRE vertical blueprint, configured for your seat
  • A vetted network of CRE operators you can call on any deal
  • Standing as your firm's go-to on AI, not the one catching up

Questions

Answers before you ask

Think of it as ULI for the AI era in CRE: a professional membership, not a one-time training you buy and shelve. The value is the room, a vetted network of brokers, investors, developers, and principals going AI-native together, plus live events, weekly workshops, and direct mentorship from the PSV team, led by Zed Truong. Alongside it sits a living library of AI training we refresh as the tools change, so it never goes stale. You build working AI workflows on your own deals (sourcing, underwriting, IC memos, BOVs, OMs, rent rolls, T-12s, LP reporting), and the most engaged members get introductions to recruiters and firms hiring AI-fluent talent. No coding or prior AI experience required, and you build your first working workflow in your first week.

Zed Truong, founder of the CRE AI Institute and a co-founder and partner of Pacific Software Ventures, leads the program and teaches it with his PSV partners Aidan Scudder and Gedeon Baende. He has closed $1B+ in commercial real estate transactions and underwritten $11B+ across asset classes. Aidan designs the agents behind PSV's AI employees, and Gedeon is a former Goldman Sachs engineer and AWS AI Scholar.

Early member access starts at $69/mo with a 7-day free trial: $0 today, billed monthly once the trial ends, cancel anytime from your account. There is no setup fee and no long contract. The early member access rate is locked for life, it never rises for you, even as the public price climbs. A premium tier with deeper access and priority mentorship is available at $99/mo. Either way the guarantee covers you: The certificate is self-paced, so the timeline is yours. If you finish the AI Fluency Certificate within your first month and you haven't gotten your first win, we refund that month in full. If it isn't valuable, we don't want your money.

Yes, and it is specific. The certificate is self-paced, so the timeline is yours. If you finish the AI Fluency Certificate within your first month and you haven't gotten your first win, we refund that month in full. If it isn't valuable, we don't want your money. The certificate is the first credential in the program, earned by completing the foundations coursework and passing the exam, which is exactly the work that produces the first win. We are not putting a clock on how fast you move through it; the window is simply how long the refund stays open. Reach out to the team within your first month and the refund is processed, no forms and no hoops. That sits on top of the free trial, where you pay $0 up front, and you can cancel anytime from your account in two clicks.

When you apply, we score your fit on the spot and your result shows on-screen right away, no waiting on an email. Early member access is open now: clear the bar and a seat opens for you to claim at the early member access rate. If the timing is not right, you can hold a next-cohort seat with a card on file. No rate is locked while you wait: when the next cohort opens, you confirm that cohort's rate before anything is charged.

It is an ongoing membership, not a course that ends. Your monthly rate keeps your access to the full build library, the live weekly workshops, and the member network for as long as you stay in. The library is not frozen: we add and refresh training as the AI tools change, so what you can reach grows over time. You are not buying a finite catalogue you race to finish, you are joining a room that compounds.

You build as you go. Your first working workflow runs on a real deal in your first week. Modules are short and self-paced, so the program fits around a full-time desk. Most members spend a few hours, not a semester.

Yes. The curriculum maps to the work you already do: sourcing, underwriting, IC memos, BOVs, OMs, rent rolls, T-12s, LP reporting. You build on your own deals, in the tools you already use.

Both. The build curriculum is self-paced, so you start the day you buy. The community and live office hours run every week, so you are never building alone.

One workflow you build pays for it. If underwriting an OM drops from a day to an hour, the program returns itself on the first deal.

Most members do. It is professional development with deal throughput attached: the program pays for itself if it saves one analyst-week per quarter. Ask us for the one-page manager justification letter. It covers what the program includes, the time it returns per deal, and the work products your team keeps.

Two reasons. Early members lock the lowest price the Institute will ever offer, and that price steps up at public release. And every week you wait is a week of OMs underwritten by hand and outreach you never sent. The downside is covered: build your first working workflow in 30 days or get your money back.

Yes. Members get a personal invite link from inside the member area. Share it with CRE peers: each one gets 10% off their first 3 months when they reserve a seat, and once two of them become paying members, you earn 30 days free too. If you have a sizable network and want to talk about a larger partnership, reach out and we will set it up.

The model was never the problem. The method was. We teach CRE-specific workflows that ground every output in the source document, the same standard we hold for institutional clients.

No. If you can follow a recipe, you can run these. No AI experience needed to start. Everything runs inside Excel, Yardi, and the tools you already have.

PSV deploys these systems for institutional firms as a managed service. The program teaches you to build the same systems yourself. Same methods, your hands on the controls.

The lifecycle covers more than two seats. Developers, asset managers, capital raisers, and IR all build the workflows that move their numbers. You run the modules that fit your seat.

It is for working CRE operators: brokers, acquisitions and investment teams, developers, asset managers, and principals who want to run AI on their own deals. It is not for anyone looking for a magic button, a passive training they will never open, or a way to skip the reps. You build real systems here, and that takes a few focused hours. If you are willing to do that, it pays you back fast.

Got your answer? Early member access locks today's rate, the lowest price the Institute will ever offer.
