For years, private real estate investing was driven by relationships, instincts, and experience. While those things still matter, the game is changing - data is now the most powerful asset in a Fund Manager’s toolkit.
From evaluating deals to measuring performance, data-driven decisions reduce risk, improve transparency, and build investor trust. Today’s top-performing Fund Managers and the LPs who back them are leaning into analytics - not just anecdotes.
Let’s explore the rise of data in private real estate, which metrics matter most, and how platforms like Verivest are making analytics easy, actionable, and accessible.
Public markets have long operated with data as the backbone - earnings reports, KPIs, historical performance, and real-time feeds. Private real estate, on the other hand, has lagged behind.
But that gap is closing.
Thanks to better technology, lower barriers to entry, and increased investor sophistication, private market participants are demanding access to real data, not just glossy pitch decks.
Sponsors are recognizing that:
Gut feel is being replaced with informed analysis - and the results are better for everyone.
Real estate is an operationally intensive business. So what should Fund Managers and investors focus on when making data-informed decisions?
How has the sponsor actually performed in past deals?
Data that shows how a fund or deal is performing in real-time:
Operational transparency builds trust. Smart investors track:
The more consistently these data points are delivered, the more confident investors can be in their decision-making process.
Sponsors don’t need to become data scientists to make better decisions. Modern tools, technology and AI are making it easier than ever to collect, analyze, and share insights that matter.
Solutions like Verivest collect and standardize performance, financial, and investor data -transforming messy spreadsheets into clean, digestible reports by experts who understand real estate reporting.
With real-time access to capital account statements, distributions, and historical reporting, LPs can self-serve and gain clarity without constant outreach.
Platforms that verify sponsor performance history give LPs confidence and help sponsors stand out in a crowded market.
Use of AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity has surged, unlocking data analysis, insights and a well-informed thought partner for even the most inexperienced LPs.
These tools aren’t about more data - they’re about better data, delivered the right way.
