Key Challenges:
- Reed’s schedule was full with property tours, broker networking, and other business priorities.
- Limited capacity for underwriting slowed deal review and decision-making.
- Hiring a full-time analyst was not feasible due to employment regulations and cost.
- The company needed support that could integrate with its existing underwriting model.
Solution
RealVal became RSN’s on-demand underwriting powerhouse, integrating effortlessly without disrupting their workflow. We:
- Mastered their model: RealVal learned RSN’s underwriting process, followed Reed’s methods, and made small improvements to make the process smoother while keeping it accurate and up-to-date.
- Handled high-volume analysis: To support RSN’s growth into new areas, RealVal reviewed 150–200 deals over 4–5 months and shared detailed findings on potential opportunities. While Reed focused on visiting properties and meeting brokers, RealVal took care of the underwriting work from beginning to end.
Over 2.5 years, we provided flexible, scalable support, collaborated with RSN’s emerging in-house team, and powered end-to-end underwriting as the company expanded.
Impact
With RealVal’s help, RSN help to achieve major power points that help their company move forward one step at a time such as
- Analyzed over 450 deals, unlocking entry into new markets.
- Closed multiple properties, including two portfolio deals, in just five months.
- Built and trained a capable in-house underwriting team on RSN’s custom system.
- Sidestepped the need for a costly full-time analyst during critical early expansion.
RSN moved forward faster, smarter, and leaner—proving flexible expertise can outpace traditional hiring.
