Hercules for commercial real estate brokers in New York City
The short answer
Commercial brokers use Hercules to win listings in New York City: who owns a building, the people behind the owning LLC, every other building they hold, what they paid, what they owe and how to reach them. It sits next to a market database such as CoStar or CompStak, which covers rents, leases and comps.
What a broker gets
- Every NYC tax lot, all property types, with building, lot, zoning, FAR and unused air rights.
- The owner of record, its officers and managing agents, and recorded deeds and mortgages.
- The real owners behind LLCs, owner name search and each owner's full portfolio of buildings (Platinum).
- Owner phone numbers and emails, with do-not-call flags.
- Sales history on every lot, plus monthly research on the largest NYC sales and the most active company buyers.
- Open NYC foreclosure cases, for owners who may need to sell.
- A CRM to keep every owner, building and conversation together.
A listing-prospecting routine
- Filter a neighborhood by building type, size, year built, owner type and last sale date.
- Open the buildings that fit and read who owns them and when they bought.
- For an LLC owner, see the people behind it and the other buildings they hold.
- Check the mortgages: an old loan or a maturity coming up is a reason to talk now.
- Unlock the owner's contacts, save the list and start a deal for each call.
What Hercules does not cover
Hercules does not hold lease comps, tenant rosters, asking rents or for-sale listings. Brokers who need those keep a market database and use Hercules for owners, debt, distress and outreach.
