Background: Scaling an AI-Powered Real Estate Platform
This fast-growing U.S.-based real estate tech company leverages AI to streamline the creation of high-quality marketing materials for real estate professionals, including brokerages and investment firms.
As their proprietary platform scaled and deal volume increased, the company needed to quickly build a reliable, highly analytical Commercial Real Estate team to support underwriting-heavy deliverables, without slowing down product development or overloading internal teams.
Hiring experienced CRE Analysts locally in the U.S. would have been slow, expensive, and operationally heavy. Instead, the company partnered with South to build an entire analyst team in LATAM, fast, cost-effectively, and fully remote.
The Challenge: Build a Full CRE Team, Fast
The client didn’t need just one hire; they needed a functional, scalable team with:
- Deep understanding of U.S. commercial real estate
- Strong underwriting and financial analysis skills
- Experience building institutional-grade materials
- The ability to deliver from day one, with minimal onboarding
They were looking to avoid:
- Long recruiting cycles
- High U.S. salary costs
- Internal recruiting and HR overhead
Speed, quality, and efficiency were non-negotiable.
The Roles: Commercial Real Estate Analysts (Senior & Mid-Level)
Across five hires, responsibilities included:
- Reviewing and interpreting financial models, rent rolls, and operating statements
- Building and refining BOVs, Offering Memorandums (OMs), and loan packages
- Analyzing market data, comps, and valuation assumptions
- Translating complex deal data into clear, professional investment materials
- Ensuring accuracy, consistency, and high-quality standards across all deliverables
- Collaborating with internal teams to meet tight deadlines
This was a purely analytical role, requiring real estate judgment, asset-class awareness, and meticulous attention to detail.
The Solution: A Ready-to-Run Full Team in Weeks
South managed the entire process end-to-end:
- LATAM CRE talent sourcing
- Technical and underwriting vetting
- Seniority calibration (2 Senior, 3 Mid-Level)
- English proficiency evaluation
- Compliance and contracts
Each hiring process took approximately 15 days, allowing the client to scale headcount incrementally while keeping momentum. Within six weeks, the client had a fully operational CRE.
Results: Speed, Quality, and Major Cost Savings
- 5 CRE Analysts hired in 6 weeks
- $1,500–$2,000/month per analyst vs. $4,500+ in the U.S.
- 55–65% cost savings
Analysts were productive from day one, with a faster turnaround on deal materials, scalable team structure aligned with deal flow, and internal teams freed to focus on product and growth.
