The Risk in Copy Paste: Fixing the Last Mile of Real Estate Data

Excel remains central to real estate analysis. 

What creates risk is how real estate data gets into those models. Manual copy paste workflows introduce version control issues, broken links, and typing errors that often go unnoticed until decisions are affected. 

This last mile of real estate data remains a common source of friction, particularly as activity increases and teams work across multiple models, versions, and stakeholders. 

To address this, PRODA offers an Excel Add-in designed for analysts who want to keep their existing models while changing how data is fed into them. Instead of manually re-entering figures, validated rent roll data can be pulled directly into Excel from a single source of truth. 

This approach reduces manual touch points, improves consistency across workbooks, and allows teams to spend more time analyzing data rather than preparing it. 

For firms looking to reduce risk without changing how they work in Excel, fixing the last mile is a practical place to start.
