## Resource

In this episode, my guest is Jake Heller, co-founder of the AI for CRE Collective and an entrepreneur active in development, entitlements, and land delivery for home builders in Los Angeles. Jake shares how his experience across multiple real estate businesses led him to explore AI as a way to analyze deals, automate workflows, and uncover opportunities faster. The conversation explores practical AI use cases in commercial real estate including document analysis for leases and offering memorandums, automated underwriting with AI agents in Excel, generating investor decks and marketing materials, and monitoring market intelligence with scheduled AI workflows.
