The Operator Database tracks every real estate operator and the decision-making principals in the US, UK, and Canada. It's an indispensable tool for vendors, investment sales and capital markets brokers, and anyone who wants to keep a pulse on who is doing what in real estate.
Since our last price increase in April 2025, we have grown from 25,000 to 55,830 tracked decision-making principals. We also added Signals, an API, and three integrations. On August 1st, the price doubles from $199 to $399.
Specifically, we’ve shipped:

In April 2025 (our last price increase), a human reviewed each profile every four to five months. Today, every data point is manually verified every four weeks.
We are on pace to pass 10,000 firms tracked by the end of Q3. Our focus is tracking decision-making real estate principals working at active commercial operating firms. Those principals are executives, owners, and asset managers.
Starting August 1st: $399 per month with no contract, or $3,999 per year. Unlimited exports and API usage, up to 10 team seats, and customizable Signals. Existing subscribers keep their current rate for one year and anyone who subscribes before August 1st locks in $199 per month on the same terms.
