CRE Broker

CRE brokers receive 80+ vendor emails per week and delete most before reading past the subject line — breaking through requires deal-specific relevance.

4.1% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

CRE Owner & Operator

Owners and operators are the hardest CRE audience to reach cold — they rely on trusted referrals and ignore vendor email unless it references a specific asset they own.

2.8% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

CRE Asset Manager

Asset managers sit between ownership and operations, making them data-driven gatekeepers who only respond to emails that demonstrate portfolio-level thinking.

3.5% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

CRE Property Manager

Property managers are drowning in tenant requests and vendor proposals — your email competes with 40+ daily operational messages for attention.

4.7% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

CRE Development Firm

Development firms operate on project timelines, not quarterly cycles — your email needs to align with their current entitlement, construction, or lease-up phase to get a response.

3.0% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

Investment Sales Professional

Investment sales professionals live and die by deal flow — they only respond to cold email that signals access to buyers, sellers, or market intelligence they don't already have.

3.8% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

Tenant Rep Broker

Tenant reps are fiercely protective of their client relationships — cold email that feels like it's trying to go around them to their tenant gets deleted and blacklisted.

3.4% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

CRE Capital Markets Professional

Capital markets professionals broker billions in CRE debt and equity — they respond only to emails that signal deal flow or lender intelligence they can use today.

3.2% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

REIT Professional

REITs are publicly traded, heavily regulated, and run by institutional professionals who expect vendor emails to reflect the same rigor as their quarterly earnings calls.

2.6% avg reply rate (Skyp customer data, Q1 2025)

CRE Family Office

CRE-focused family offices are the most private and hardest-to-reach investor class in commercial real estate — they value discretion above all else and ignore anything that feels mass-produced.
