How It Works, Intact Deal Origination

The method

How we find owners
who haven’t told
anyone yet.

Public records, a phone, and consistency most brokerages can't spare. Here's the whole method, including the parts that make it slow.

Our proven process

The method isn’t secret.
Doing it every week is.

It’s been taught at industry broker summits. We publish it and compete on execution.

  1. Step 01

    Define the universe

    One metro, one asset class, a size band. Every commercial owner inside it, not a sample, not a purchased list segment.

  2. Step 02

    Layer the triggers

    Loan maturity and origination dates, lease expiries, ownership tenure, permit history, servicer transfers, entity filings. Each owner carries a trigger with a date or they don’t enter the sequence.

  3. Step 03

    Reconcile against your pipeline

    Before a single call, we cross-check against owners your brokers are already working. Nobody in your shop gets called twice, and nobody gets called by us who is already yours.

  4. Step 04

    Approve the scripts

    You approve every script and sequence before anything goes out. Your brokerage’s name, your tone.

  5. Step 05

    Work it consistently

    Multi-touch, phone-led. Owners with a live trigger rarely respond on the first attempt and often respond weeks later.

  6. Step 06

    Qualify against written criteria

    Asset type, size, tenure, trigger named, decision-maker reached. Anything that misses doesn’t count.

  7. Step 07

    Hand off with context

    Your broker gets the owner, the trigger, the record, and what was actually said. Not a name and a phone number.

The honest timeline

Sixty days proves the sourcing. It does not produce closings.

A stable origination pipeline takes six to twelve months of consistent activity. Anyone promising closed transactions in sixty days is either new to this business or lying about it.

What sixty days gives you is conversations, a measured conversion rate, and enough evidence to decide whether this belongs in your operation permanently.

    The pilot

    Conversations, a measured conversion rate, evidence.

  2. Month 6 to 12

    A stable pipeline

    Consistent activity, compounding. Not before.

What we don't do

We work under your name.
Every owner becomes your relationship.

The deepest fear in brokerage, answered explicitly rather than implied.

We don't represent owners

We don't take listings. We don't build a side channel to your market and sell it to investors: that model exists, and it competes with you.

We don't do buyers

Every broker we've met has a buyer list and none of them lie awake about it.

We don't do tenant rep

The cycles are long, the attribution is murky, and we'd be guessing about whether we helped.

The stages, in full

Four stages.
You can stop after any of them.

Each one earns the next. Nothing is bundled.

Stage 01

Market review

Twenty minutes on your metro and asset class: how many owners carry a live trigger, by category. You leave with at least three of them: names, trigger, record cited. No fee, no obligation.

Stage 02

Origination map

Written analysis of your market. Owner universe, trigger counts by category, the outreach sequence to reach them. Yours to keep and run in-house if you’d rather.

Stage 03

Sourcing pilot

Sixty days. One asset class, one metro. Scripts approved by you, pipeline reconciled first, delivered against written criteria.

Stage 04

Ongoing

Continuous origination. Expand by asset class or geography as it earns its place.

We’ll give you a number on the first call, not after three.

your own market.

Bring your metro and asset class. Twenty minutes, and you leave with three owners carrying a documented trigger: names, trigger, record cited.
