CRE Daily

What CRE Daily does

CRE Daily is a privately held digital media company headquartered in Miami, Florida, operating as CRE Daily LLC. The firm publishes a daily commercial real estate newsletter and a suite of related editorial products targeting CRE owners, investors, developers, brokers, and lenders; its reported readership exceeds 65,000 professionals, including employees of CBRE, JLL, Colliers, Prologis, Blackstone, and CoStar. The core product is a free 5-minute daily email digest, supplemented by regional editions (National, Texas, New York), the No Cap weekly podcast distributed on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, independent product reviews and buyer's guides for CRE software, and a centralized market reports hub that hosts the Fear & Greed Index, a CRE sentiment tracker co-developed with John Burns Research & Consulting.

The underlying technology is a standard digital media stack — a website, email newsletter infrastructure, a podcast feed, and a content management workflow — with no proprietary software product or mobile app (confirms has_app: false and api_exists: false). Content is published across newsletter, web, social, and audio channels, with editorial coverage organized by sector (multifamily, industrial, retail, office, lending, proptech) and geography (National, Texas, New York, California, Florida).

The business model is advertising- and sponsorship-supported with affiliate-style advertiser partnerships across the CRE and finance ecosystem. Revenue is generated entirely through paid placements from property tech platforms, lenders, investment firms, and financial services firms (e.g., VTS, Juniper Square, CompStak, Air Garage, Crowdstreet, Arrived Homes, J.P. Morgan, UBS). The newsletter is free to readers; no paid subscription, SaaS tier, or API exists. Distribution is product-led and self-serve via web, email, and podcast, with growing footprint in select U.S. regional markets.
