AI Search: From Question to Answer in 30 Seconds
1:25 · Product walkthrough with Joel Desnoyers, COO
The old way vs. AI Search.
An hour of manual lookups, replaced with one question.
Half an hour of registry queries.
You need to know who owns a building. You open the county registry, search for the parcel, pay for the title, copy the results into a spreadsheet, then repeat in the next jurisdiction. An hour later, you have half the picture.
One question. Thirty seconds.
You type "Who owns the industrial complex at 5600 Kieran Street in Montreal?" and get ownership records, transaction history, permit activity, and related entities in one answer. Sources cited.
This is not a chatbot with a search bar. It is a research agent that runs dozens of lookups for every question you ask.
What AI Search does best.
Three capabilities where AI Search consistently outperforms manual research. Live on every plan, including free.
Know everything about a property in one question.
Type an address. Get back the full picture: who owns it, what they paid, when it last traded, what permits are active, what the assessed value is, and what is happening around it right now. One question replaces an afternoon of manual lookups.
I found a likely match for that Montreal address. Please select the correct property—most likely 1000 Rue De La Gauchetière Ouest, Montreal—and I’ll pull the full property report.

Find the right buyer or seller for your deal.
Describe the deal you are working on. AI Search matches it against recent transactions, investor activity, and market signals to surface the right profiles, with context on each: what they have bought recently, their typical deal size, and where they are active.

Underwrite rents with real comparables.
Get rent estimates grounded in current listings and real properties, not guesswork. AI Search pulls asking rents, effective rents, and concession data from brokerage reports and live listings so you can underwrite with numbers you can defend.
For new-construction multifamily in Griffintown, I’d underwrite roughly:
- Studios: C$1,500–1,750/mo
- 1-bedrooms: C$1,850–2,050/mo
- 2-bedrooms: C$2,450–3,000/mo
- Premium 2-beds / large view units: C$3,000+
A practical base underwriting assumption for an institutional-quality asset:
- 1-bed: ~C$1,950/mo
- 2-bed: ~C$2,650/mo
- Adjust for size, parking, views, inclusions, and amenities.
At least three comparables supporting that range:
- SE7T Apartments – 400 Rue Richmond
- 1-bed: C$1,880–2,000
- 2-bed (~720 sf): C$2,100
- Griffin Square – 235 St-Paul / 200 Peel
- Studio: C$1,480–1,780
- Lu…

It also does this.
AI Search supports nine research categories. The three above are where users see the strongest results. These six are live on every plan.
Ownership and Entities
Map entity structures, administrators, holding companies, and associated properties across jurisdictions.
Geographic Intelligence
Find properties by location, zoning, size, and asset class using natural language instead of filters.
Permits and Development
See what is being built, where, and when it delivers. Validate development theses with real activity.
Investment Intelligence
Pull cap rates, comparable sales, pricing trends, and market positioning for any acquisition target.
Tenant and Company Intelligence
Assess a company's financial health as a tenant, borrower, or partner using corporate filings, news, and public records.
News and Signals
Surface distress indicators, corporate relocations, and regulatory changes filtered by asset class and geography.
See how AI Search works for your role: brokers and agents, investors and developers, lenders, appraisers, construction teams.
Where the answers come from.
AI Search does not make up data. Every answer is assembled from real sources, queried in real time.
VIREC property database
Ownership records, transaction history, and property details from land registries across county, state, and provincial jurisdictions. Millions of records, normalized into one searchable layer.
Internal · Updated quarterly
Live web sources
Brokerage reports, corporate filings, news, press releases, and listing platforms — queried during every search. Not a static index. The system reads the live web while your query runs.
External · Queried in real time
Government registries
Permit databases, court records, corporate registries, and regulatory filings accessed in real time. County, state, provincial, and federal sources where available.
Official · Real-time
Coverage across six asset classes: office, industrial, multifamily, retail, mixed-use, and land.

Questions about AI Search.
Straight answers. No fine print.
AI Search is a research tool for commercial real estate. Type a question about any commercial property and get a structured answer that pulls from VIREC's property database, live web sources, and government registries. The system runs the research on its own, combining results from every relevant source into one response.
Ownership records and transaction history from VIREC's database, live web sources including brokerage reports and corporate filings, and government registries including land registries, permit databases, and court records. Each query triggers research across all relevant sources automatically.
Any language. AI Search handles queries and responses in English, French, Spanish, and any other language you work in.
Traditional platforms need you to learn filters, boolean logic, or query syntax. AI Search lets you type a question the way you would ask a colleague. The system figures out what you need, runs the research across multiple sources, and gives you the compiled answer with sources cited. It reasons through complex questions instead of matching keywords.
Yes. The free tier includes AI Search access with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $9 per month per seat for higher volume.
