The brief
DBRE Property took pride in the depth of their appraisal reports. Every prospect got a detailed document. The team ran four of them a month — five hours each, minimum.
That pride became a bottleneck.
- Prospects waited weeks to receive an appraisal.
- Agents pushed off the work because each one took half a day.
- The team could not scale without breaking the quality bar.
What we built
We trained AI on DBRE’s previous appraisal reports — the language, the structure, the comparable sales logic, the formatting. Then we wrapped it in a simple form.
Staff fill in the property details. The model produces a full appraisal report in DBRE’s voice. A human reviews it. Done.
The results
- 80% time saved. From 20 hours per month to 1 hour.
- Built in 14 days. From kickoff to a tool the team uses every week.
- Wait time collapsed. Prospects went from weeks to hours.
- Quality held. Reports only need light review before going out.
- Mobile-friendly. Agents fill in the form from the car after the property visit. The report is ready by the time they get back to the office.
“OFO Collective and their team helped turn a regular 5 hour report into a 15 minute task. It’s an exciting future ahead.” — James Davie, CEO, DBRE Property
What changed for the team
DBRE stopped trading speed for quality. They got both.
The agents who used to dread appraisal weeks now run more of them. The growth bottleneck became a growth lever.
