Commercial Real Estate Deal Finder: LoopNet + Crexi Deal Score

CRE Deal Finder finds underpriced commercial properties for sale in the US. It pulls listings from LoopNet and Crexi, removes duplicates of the same building, and gives every property a Deal Score from 0 to 100. The score explains in plain English why a listing is interesting: priced below the local $/sqft, a higher cap rate than similar properties, price cuts, long days on market or motivated-seller language.

Stop scrolling two portals and building spreadsheets. Get a ranked list of the best commercial real estate deals in your markets, and turn on daily alerts for new listings and price drops.

🚀 What does CRE Deal Finder do?

• ✅ Searches LoopNet and Crexi together for commercial properties for sale
• ✅ Removes duplicates: the same building listed on both portals becomes one row with both links
• ✅ Calculates price per square foot and compares it with the market median of similar properties
• ✅ Compares cap rates with the local median (cap rate spread)
• ✅ Detects price cuts, from price history and between your runs
• ✅ Counts days on market to find stale listings and tired sellers
• ✅ Reads the listing text for "motivated seller", "value-add", "below appraisal", "bank-owned", "owner financing" and more
• ✅ Deal Score 0–100 with tiers 🔥 hot, warm, watch, and the reasons behind every score
• ✅ Daily deal alerts: schedule it, and later runs return only new listings and new price drops
• ✅ Pay only for deals delivered: filtered-out listings are free

📊 How the Deal Score works

Signal	What it measures	Max points
Below market $/sqft	Discount vs median $/sqft of the same property type in the same city	35
Cap rate spread	Cap rate above the local median for the property type	20
Price cuts	Reduction from the previous or original price, or since your last run	20
Days on market	90+, 180+ and 365+ days listed	15
Motivated-seller language	"Must sell", "value-add", "bank-owned", "owner financing", "below appraisal"…	15
Listed on several portals	Seller pushing hard on both LoopNet and Crexi	5

60+ = 🔥 hot · 35–59 = warm · below 35 = watch.

Benchmarks are built from at least 5 comparable listings in the same run. With fewer comps the Actor never invents a market median: it falls back to all markets in the run, or leaves that signal out.

🛠️ How to find commercial real estate deals (step by step)

1. Add one or more markets, e.g. Austin, TX, Phoenix, AZ, Columbus, OH.
2. Choose a property type (multifamily, retail, industrial, office, land…) or keep Any.
3. Optionally set a price range and a minimum Deal Score (e.g. 35 to get warm and hot deals only).
4. Click Start. Results come sorted with the best deals first.
5. For daily alerts, turn on Monitor mode, save the input as a Task and schedule it every morning.

💰 Pricing

$8 per 1,000 deals delivered, which is under 1 cent per scored property. You pay only for listings you receive after your filters. Listings below your minimum Deal Score, or already sent in monitor mode, cost nothing.

CRE Deal Finder collects listings with the LoopNet and Crexi scrapers. Their usage (about $1.50–$1.90 per 1,000 listings) is billed to your Apify account separately. Example: checking 1,000 listings and receiving the 150 best deals costs about $3–4 in total.

❓ FAQ

Which property types are supported? Multifamily, retail, office, industrial, land, hospitality, self-storage, mixed-use and special-purpose properties for sale anywhere in the US.

Why do some listings have no $/sqft or cap rate? Land often has no building size, and many listings show "price on request" or no cap rate. Those signals are skipped for that listing, and it can still score on cuts, days on market and seller language.

How is "market median" calculated? From comparable listings in the same run: same city and state, same property type, with at least 5 comps. Search a whole metro or several nearby cities for better benchmarks.

How does monitor mode work? The first run returns everything that matches. Each later run with the same input returns only listings that are new or whose price dropped since the previous run.

Is a high Deal Score investment advice? No. The score is a screening tool that ranks listings for further review. Always do your own due diligence before making an offer.

Is scraping LoopNet and Crexi legal? This Actor works with publicly listed property information. You are responsible for using the data in line with the portals' terms and applicable laws. See Is web scraping legal?.
