Inbox Radar: Turn Gmail into Your Personal MLS

Inbox Radar: Turn Gmail into Your Personal MLS

Drowning in Listing Emails? There's a Better Way

Picture this: It's Monday morning, and your Gmail inbox stares back at you with over 200 unread emails. Among them are dozens of new commercial listings from brokers at CBRE, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield. But buried in the chaos is a prime off-market office space in downtown that could seal your next big deal—if you can find it before your competitor does.

Commercial real estate brokers like you receive hundreds of listing emails each week. Sorting through them manually leads to missed opportunities, hours of wasted time, and frustration. Important details get lost in the clutter, and by the time you find that gem, a competitor has already responded.

Enter Inbox Radar, the new Gravitate feature that transforms your Gmail into a personal MLS. Say goodbye to inbox overload and hello to AI-powered deal discovery.

The Daily Struggle of Email Overload

CRE professionals face unique challenges with email volume. Here's why it's a problem:

  • Email Overload: Up to 50+ listing emails per day from brokers, loops, and syndication services.
  • Manual Data Entry: Copying addresses, square footage, lease rates, and broker contacts into your CRM or MLS takes hours weekly.
  • Lost Opportunities: Deals slip through cracks when you can't quickly scan for matches to client needs.
  • Scattered Information: Property details spread across email bodies, PDF brochures, and image flyers.
  • No Geographic Context: Hard to visualize where opportunities cluster without manual mapping.
  • Time Waste: Organizing and tracking eats into prospecting and closing time.

Many brokers report spending 10-15 hours weekly on email management alone. That's time better spent building relationships and winning deals.

What is Inbox Radar?

Inbox Radar is a game-changing Gravitate feature designed exclusively for CRE brokers. It connects securely to your Gmail via OAuth (read-only access) and automatically detects CRE-related emails. Using advanced AI, it extracts key property details from text, PDFs, and even images via OCR.

All extracted listings appear on an interactive 3D Google Maps interface, creating a centralized, searchable database of opportunities. It's your personal MLS, powered by the emails you already receive.
