You just finished touring three properties, and your phone is already buzzing with a request from the investment committee: “Can you put together a comp map for the deck?” You know the drill. Open Google Maps, screenshot it, paste it into PowerPoint, manually drop pins, label each one, build a legend, format it so it doesn’t look like a middle school project. For one map. The comps are sitting in your spreadsheet. The addresses are right there. But turning that data into a clean, professional map that belongs in an OM or IC memo takes 20 minutes you don’t have, especially when you’re juggling three other deals. That’s exactly what this task is built to fix. research 5 min Comparable Properties Map v2 Generates a new (or edits an existing) print-ready map plotting your subject property and up to 25 comparable properties (sales comps, lease comps, or listings) with numbered markers and a detailed legend. Returns an interactive viewer link and a downloadable PNG image ready to drop into an OM, IC memo, or appraisal report. Who It’s For CRE professionals who need polished comp maps for investment memos, appraisals, and pitch decks. What You Get Back A print-ready PNG map with numbered markers, a detailed legend, and an interactive viewer link. Why It Matters Turns a tedious 20-minute mapping exercise into a 5-minute task, so your comps are visualized before the meeting, not after. Task Inputs Property Details Required Subject property and comparable properties. Include at minimum the subject property address and at least one comparable property address. Ideally also include property names, property type, size, and any relevant detail (sale price, cap rate, rent/SF, etc.). Clearly indicate which is the subject and which are comps. Subject + Comps File (Alternative Input) Required Alternatively, upload a file containing your subject and comparable properties (Excel, CSV, PDF, or any document with property details). The file should clearly distinguish the subject from the comps. Tools Used Google Maps Search Places Generate Property Map What This Task Does You give it your subject property and up to 25 comparable properties. You can type or paste the details directly, upload a spreadsheet, CSV, or PDF, or do both. At minimum, the task needs an address for the subject and at least one comp. If you have property names, types, sizes, sale prices, cap rates, or rent per SF, include those too; they’ll appear in the legend. The Market Research Associate takes it from there. It parses your data, looks up each property using Google Maps, plots everything on a clean map with numbered markers, and generates a detailed legend. Before building anything, it shows you a summary of the proposed title, subtitle, subject property, and all comps so you can confirm or adjust. Once you approve, it produces an interactive viewer link (for zooming and exploring) and a downloadable PNG image you can drop straight into a document. The whole process takes roughly 5 minutes of your time. The AI does the rest. Who This Task Is For Any time you need to show where your comps sit relative to a subject property, you’re building a map. Whether it’s for an internal meeting or a client-facing package, the expectation is the same: clean, professional, and accurate. The only question is how long it takes you to get there. This task is built for: Acquisitions analysts who need comp maps for IC memos and underwriting packages on tight turnarounds Brokers and leasing teams who want polished comp maps for OMs, pitch decks, and listing presentations Appraisers who need to visualize sales or lease comps in valuation reports Asset managers who want to map competitive properties around an existing asset for leasing strategy Research teams who produce market overviews and submarket snapshots with spatial context In short: if you already have your comp data, this task gives you a finished map. Why It Matters A comp map is one of those things that always makes the document better. Readers scan a list of comps and their eyes glaze over. Put those same comps on a map with numbered markers and a legend, and suddenly the story clicks: proximity, clustering, submarket boundaries, outliers. The spatial context does the explaining for you. You already know this. Every analyst, broker, and appraiser knows a map belongs in the package. The problem isn’t awareness; it’s bandwidth. Building a comp map manually means toggling between your spreadsheet, Google Maps, a design tool, and whatever template you’ve been reusing since 2019. It takes 20 minutes if you’re fast, longer if you’re fussy about alignment and labels. So it gets skipped, or it gets rushed, or it gets delegated to someone who’s already underwater. With this task, the map takes 5 minutes. You paste your data, confirm the summary, and get back a print-ready PNG and an interactive viewer. That means the map actually
