Agora
Turn messy loan applications into diligence-ready deals.
Agora is the AI-native loan processing platform for private CRE lenders. It reviews applications, surfaces what's missing, and keeps borrowers moving so your team can work on the hard stuff.
The problem
Lending teams are buried before underwriting even starts.
Private lenders sort through incomplete applications, missing documents, unclear borrower answers, and deals that may never fit the credit box.
Incomplete files
Applications arrive missing critical diligence items.
Manual chasing
Teams spend hours following up for scope, budgets, and statements.
Credit box triage
Processors sort deals that should have been screened earlier.
Our Solution
One platform for intake, diligence, and follow-up.
Agora helps your team qualify inbound deal flow earlier, organize every file faster, and keep borrowers moving without manual chasing.
Intake
Bring every inbound deal into one file.
Agora centralizes applications, borrower messages, documents, tasks, and status so your team always knows what is ready and what is missing.
