Parcel Deal Desk
How the Deal Desk is made
Last updated
Edited by Orion Jones. Read the issues on Parcel Deal Desk or by RSS.
1. Beat
Commercial real estate deals for investors and brokers: notable trades and listings, distress (CMBS delinquency, maturities, foreclosures), rates and lending, and public-record seller signals.
2. Sources
A fact goes in only if it was read on the original page that day: the filing, the public record, the lender or agency release, the company announcement, or a reputable outlet. Search snippets and roundups are never sources. Every story links the page it came from.
3. Dates
Each story carries the day it happened, taken from the source page, not the day we read it.
4. Our view
Facts and opinion are kept apart. Our view is labelled “Our view”, is one sentence, and adds no new facts.
5. How AI is used
AI agents research, read the source pages and draft each issue under these rules. Every claim is checked against its linked page before publishing, and a claim that can't be checked is cut. A day with fewer than 3 checked stories gets no issue.
6. No investment advice
Nothing here is investment, legal or lending advice. We never tell anyone to buy, sell or bid on a property or security.
7. Independence
No one pays to be covered. Parcel sells deal software to investors and brokers; when a story uses Parcel's own data, it is labelled as Parcel data.
8. Corrections
Report a mistake to hello@westwardconsulting.ai. We fix it on the page, say what changed, and list it on corrections.
