Commercial real estate brokers are still driving around neighborhoods looking for properties. In 2026. Doug Sullinger — 30 years at Oracle, IBM, and Dun & Bradstreet — watched it happen and built Basil AI to fix it.

Basil is an agentic AI platform that covers every parcel in the United States with 150-200 verified data points. Brokers type in what they're looking for, and the platform returns the best sites with feasibility scores and financial underwriting — in minutes.

In this interview, you'll learn:

• Why commercial brokers are still "driving the market" — and why that's about to end

• How intent data generated 4 offers from 100 contacts in 2 days

• How Basil covers every US parcel with 150-200 verified, multi-source data points

• Why open AI models pulling from the internet can't compete with proprietary cleansed data

• The Georgia Tech partnership training the next generation of CRE brokers

• How a broker with 9 months of experience closed a $5M industrial deal using Basil

• Where AI in commercial real estate is headed — LOI creators, OM builders, CRM integration

"One tank of gas can pay for a month of Basil. There's your ROI — just from not driving around."
