CRE Finder vs Ten-X

Ten-X runs the auction. We find deals before they reach one.

Ten-X is an online auction marketplace for commercial real estate — a structured way to bid on and transact listed assets. CRE Finder is the opposite end: finding the owner of a property that isn't for sale and reaching them directly, before any auction exists.

Honest comparison

When Ten-X is the better choice

Ten-X owns the auction lane. Where it's the right tool:

Your acquisition strategy is auction-driven

Ten-X is a leading online venue for CRE auctions, including institutional and distressed dispositions. If bid-style acquisition is part of your strategy, that's where it happens — we don't auction anything.

You're disposing of an asset at auction

Ten-X's structured, transparent bidding process is built for sellers who want competitive price discovery on a timeline. CRE Finder is buy-side sourcing, not a disposition venue.

You want a defined, time-boxed transaction process

An auction gives you clear terms, a deadline, and a transparent process to close. Cold outreach is open-ended by comparison. If you prefer the structure, Ten-X provides it.

Source the deals that never reach the auction block.
