Every CRE professional faces the same wall. The deed says "ABC Holdings LLC, c/o registered agent." That is not who decides. Meerkat OS pierces the entity, surfaces the actual people behind every property, and maps the warm path from your network to the principal who signs the term sheet.

In commercial real estate, every other vendor sells you the property. The next decade belongs to the platforms that sell you the people behind it.

Mary Shea, PhD · Co-Founder & CGO · former Forrester Principal Analyst

What you get on day one

  • 3B+ property attributes across residential and commercial real estate, with ownership resolved past the LLC
  • 85M professional profiles tying principals to entities, sponsors, and capital sources
  • 200M consumer records linked to households and net-worth signals for HNW investor outreach
  • 1 endpoint into Salesforce, HubSpot, Apto, and your CRM stack

The Reality: the deed names the LLC. The LLC does not return calls.

The deed says "ABC Holdings LLC, c/o registered agent." That is not who decides what happens next. Reaching the actual principal means a week of chasing LLC filings across Delaware shells and skip-trace vendors: and by the time you get a name, the number is wrong and the property is in escrow with a competitor.

The Intelligence Layer: six dimensions, one endpoint

Every property has six sides to it, and every owner has six dimensions of context. Meerkat OS connects all of them and refreshes them continuously.

  • Property · asset — The full holdings picture. Residential and commercial across all 50 states. Deeds, valuations, transactions, parcel data, debt and refinance signals.
  • Ownership · principal — Past the LLC to the human. Entity-to-individual resolution with verified name, role, and decision authority.
  • Capital · capacity — Who can acquire, who can fund. Net worth tiers, prior CRE positions, sponsor history, family-office signals.
  • Trigger · mobility — Why now, not next year. Liquidity events, refinances near maturity, household relocations, partner job changes.
  • Reach · verified contact — Mobile, not registered agent. Personal email, verified mobile, mailing address, refreshed continuously.
  • Match · network graph — Through your firm and your LPs. The relationship graph from your team, investors, and sponsors to every owner and capital source.

No batch ownership scrubs. No reconciliation across CoStar, CoreLogic, and three skip-trace vendors. One endpoint, one source of truth on every asset and every principal in your market.

The Ah-Ha: the deal you missed because you couldn't find the owner

Off-market sourcing: from the LLC on the deed to the principal's mobile. You're tracking a 200-unit asset. The deed says "Maple Holdings LLC," owned by another LLC, registered agent in Delaware. Two associates spend a week; the number is wrong; the property goes to a competitor. With Meerkat OS, one call returns the entity-to-person resolution, the principal's verified mobile, his other regional holdings, the recent refinance that signals he's open to a transaction, and the warm path through one of your existing investors.

Capital raise: the 500 LPs your team did not know it was connected to. Your firm is raising $200M and pitches the same fifty saturated family offices every cycle. With Meerkat OS, the relationship graph maps every connection of every partner, investor, and sponsor: surfacing the seventy LPs in your extended network with verified capacity, prior CRE allocations, and a clear warm-path intro.

  • 1 day to resolve the principal behind any LLC, with verified contact and decision context
  • 0 scrubs to schedule or pay for: ownership and contact refresh continuously
  • 1 file that holds property, ownership, capacity, trigger, contact, and warm-path
