Reis, Inc. Launches Editable, Automatically Generated Narrative Analyses

NEW YORK, June 15, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reis, Inc. (NASDAQ:REIS) (“Reis” or the “Company”), a leading provider of commercial real estate market information and analytical tools, today announced the launch of editable versions of metro and submarket level Executive Briefing reports and property level Investment Analyses. Subscribing firms now enjoy unlimited capacity to produce complex written analyses in seconds, and the ability to incorporate text from these reports into documents and templates used to expedite deal flow. 

Composed of paragraphs, sentences, phrases, and descriptors that are conditionally invoked by Reis’s structured time series data, and by the performance of user-selected property comparables, the reports are distinguishable from the work of a skilled analyst only by the speed with which they are produced. 

“Reis is pleased to offer this productivity multiplier to our clients,” said Reis’s president and COO, Bill Sander.  “By freeing our subscribers from throughput constraints, we are expanding their capacity to perform full due diligence on all loans in a portfolio, for example, rather than on a sample.”

The launch demonstrates Reis’s commitment to providing more details at the property level, while at the same time continuing to broaden its overall perspective on U.S. commercial real estate investment options.  “As we continue to project Reis’s analytical capabilities deeper into institutional workflows, we heighten the barriers against potential competitors and help to protect our high renewal rates,” said Mr. Sander. 

Within weeks, Reis expects to release Affordable Housing coverage, and a major expansion to its Sales Comparables module.
