What Is Archer?
Everything you need to know about the platform in one read
What Archer does
Archer is an AI-enhanced commercial real estate underwriting platform built for multifamily. It takes the most time-consuming parts of deal analysis — parsing financial documents, mapping data to your underwriting model, pulling comparable properties — and automates them.
You upload a rent roll and T12 operating statement. Archer extracts the data, maps it to your chart of accounts, populates your Excel underwriting model with parsed financials, rent comps, expense comps, and analytics, and gives it back to you ready for analysis. A process that used to take hours takes minutes.
How it works with your existing workflow
Archer lives inside your existing process, not alongside it. If you use your own proprietary Excel underwriting model (what we call BYOM — Bring Your Own Model), Archer integrates directly into it. Your formulas, your logic, your outputs all stay the same. Archer just replaces the manual data entry.
If you don't have your own model, Archer provides one — the Archer Standard Model — that you can use immediately.
Either way, Archer adds tabs to your Excel workbook: a Rent Roll tab with unit-level data and analytics, a Financials tab with your mapped T12, and Comps tabs with rent, expense, and sale comparables.
The comps flywheel
Every rent roll you parse automatically becomes a rent comp. Every T12 you parse automatically becomes an expense comp. The more deals you touch, the richer your proprietary data set becomes — and it's yours alone. No other Archer client sees your data.
The platform beyond parsing
Archer isn't just a parser. The web app includes deal sourcing, a deal pipeline, market analytics, comp dashboards, lease trade-out analysis, financial period comparison, and a growing set of asset management tools.
