This partnership enables mutual clients to access Clear Estimates’ data in Cherre’s platform, helping them quantify repair costs, refine AVMs, and make strategic real estate decisions.
New York, December 5, 2024 – Cherre, the leading real estate data management and intelligence Platform, today announced a new partnership with Clear Estimates, the nation’s leading provider of residential repair, remodeling, and whole-home replacement cost estimation tools and creator of the Clear Estimates Pricing Intelligence API (CEPIA™). This partnership will allow mutual clients to integrate Clear Estimates’ comprehensive repair, remodeling, and whole-home replacement cost data within Cherre’s platform, enabling real estate investors, property managers, appraisers, P&C Insurance companies, hedge funds, and others to make more informed decisions.
“Partnering with Cherre enables our clients to harness Clear Estimates’ groundbreaking dataset for smarter decision-making,” said Nolan Orfield, Founder of Clear Estimates. “With precise cost quantification, clients can broaden their buy-box to include overlooked properties, improve appraisal accuracy with cost-to-cure adjustments, or strategically plan pre-listing repairs to maximize ROI. These are just a few examples of how accurate residential cost data can drive efficiency and open new opportunities.”
Integrating Clear Estimates’ repair and renovation data alongside internal and third-party information on Cherre’s platform helps real estate professionals and portfolio managers better understand the cost implications of imperfect properties. This allows clients to adjust AVMs and appraisals to reflect realistic values, plan renovation projects to drive returns, and make strategic decisions about whether to buy, hold, or sell assets based on detailed repair cost analysis.
“With Clear Estimates’ data integrated into Cherre’s platform, our clients gain the ability to evaluate properties with a more holistic view, factoring in the true costs of repairs and improvements,” said Kevin Shtofman, Head of Innovation at Cherre. “This partnership gives real estate investors and other verticals the insights they need to confidently assess property potential and improve accuracy in their valuations.”

Every detail, from all 11 regional trade-specific labor rates to material costs and markup, is automatically included in the localized results.
