A buy box is the set of criteria a buyer uses to decide whether a property is worth a look. It covers asset type, price range, geography, cap rate, and square footage. When you fill it in, CRE Fuel uses those criteria to automatically match that buyer to properties in your pipeline.

​
What You Are Trying to Do

You want to record what a specific buyer is looking for so CRE Fuel can surface matching listings for you without manual digging.
1

Open the buyer's contact record

Go to Contacts in the left sidebar. Find the buyer and click their name to open their contact record.
2

Click Edit Buy Box

On the contact record, click the Edit Buy Box button. A panel will open with all the buy box fields.
3

Select the asset type

In the Asset Type field, choose the property type this buyer targets. Examples: Multifamily, Industrial, Retail, Office, NNN.
4

Enter the price range

Fill in the Min Price and Max Price fields. Use whole dollar amounts, no commas needed.
5

Add preferred markets

In the Preferred Markets field, type each metro or submarket this buyer will consider. Press Enter after each one to add it.
6

Set the cap rate range

Enter a Min Cap Rate and Max Cap Rate. Enter them as plain numbers, for example type 5.5 for a 5.5% cap rate.
7

Set the square footage range

Enter a Min SF and Max SF to define the size range the buyer will consider.
8

Save the buy box

Click Save. CRE Fuel will now use this buy box when matching properties to buyers.
The more fields you fill in, the sharper the matches CRE Fuel returns. Even a partial buy box helps, but a complete one keeps irrelevant results out of your list.
You can have multiple buyers with different buy boxes. Each buy box is tied to one contact record and matched independently.
