Reach the Right CRE Decision Makers in Texas — Fast

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the competitive edge that Biscred offers CRE business. We’ll provide a few key insights about the Texas CRE market and give you some tips on finding the right decision-makers for your business.

We built Biscred to be a commercial real estate prospecting platform that would combine our deep industry knowledge with advanced machine learning and an intuitive, user-centric design that solves the problems with traditional B2B lead tools. We designed Biscred specifically for CRE sales and marketing teams with industry-specific filters, validated contact information, and deeper company insights across different CRE asset classes. It’s a powerful tool for your marketing tech stack for targeted outreach and improved business development.

We’ve improved and expanded Biscred a lot over the years, from originally 8,669 CRE firms and 96,479 professionals in 2022 to now well over 554,000 companies and 4.9 million industry contacts as of 2026. Biscred is continually updated with more contacts.

How to Use Biscred to Find Decision Makers in Texas

The power of the Biscred platform lies in its ability to slice and dice data to deliver a precisely targeted list of prospects. The best way to understand how it works is to see it, so we invite you to schedule a demo. This is how it works:

First, set your search area to Texas. For even narrower focus, you may also select metro areas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, Amarillo, San Antonio, etc.). You have the option to select only companies that have headquarters or all companies that have a presence in Texas.
Next, filter by industry. Biscred uses 29 primary industry categories and even more subcategories. Industries include developers, property managers, architects, professional service providers, technology and investment firms, to name a few. As an example of subcategories, within the CRE broker industry, you’ll find agencies, debt, equity, and landlord/tenant representations.
Next, set your asset class. Leave it defaulted to all, if the type of commercial real estate doesn’t matter to you — there are 24 asset classes within Biscred’s database. Or, select the asset classes most relevant to your interests — healthcare, life sciences, industrial, mixed use, office, etc.
Set your people filters. Biscred allows you to filter based on job titles, seniorities and several other micro filters (e.g., “limit to people with emails”).

Optionally, select additional filters. You’ll also find filters to select companies of a certain size (employee, revenue and property count), as well as building details like building zoning and square footage.
