About Prelio
Know the deal before
you make the offer.
Most buyers walk into negotiations blind, no idea if the seller is desperate or patient, no sense of whether the price makes sense. Prelio gives you an Offer Score, a Leverage Score, and a clear playbook before you write a single number.

How this started

I was shopping for my first rental property, and every question sent me to a different site. Zillow for the listing. Redfin for the price history. A mortgage calculator for the payment. Another tool for what rent I could actually charge in that zip code. My own spreadsheet for vacancy, repairs, and whether the numbers still worked once everything was added up.

Even with a dozen tabs open, the question that actually mattered had no tool at all: how much room did I really have to negotiate, and was this a good offer? I was guessing, the same way most buyers still are. So I built the tool I wished existed, one that pulls the listing, runs the numbers, and tells you two things before you write an offer: how much leverage you have, and whether the deal actually works.

Why we built this
Gut feel isn't a strategy
Every offer is a negotiation. But most buyers have no idea how much leverage they actually have, or whether the seller is motivated, patient, or somewhere in between.
The data existed. The tool didn't.
Days on market, price drops, Estimate equity, ownership tenure, it's all public. No one had assembled it into a score that tells you how hard to push and exactly where to land.
Two very different decisions
Buying to rent and buying to live require completely different math. DSCR and cap rate don't belong on a primary home analysis. Break-even and lifestyle fit don't belong on an investment sheet.
Speed matters in competitive markets
Knowing your Offer Score and Leverage Score before you tour, not after, changes how you show up. We built for the buyer who wants to move fast and think clearly.
What we believe
01
Show the math, not just the answer
Every score is explained. You see the equity anchor, the signal adjustments, the day-one equity. We don't hand you a number and ask you to trust it.
02
Leverage is something you earn
Days on market, price drops, seller tenure, these signals either give you room or limit you. We surface what's working for you and what isn't, and tell you what to do with it.
03
Data that travels
Prelio works nationwide. The same signals, days on market, price drops, Estimate equity, ownership tenure, apply whether you're analyzing a duplex in Northern Virginia or a rental in Phoenix. The math doesn't change by zip code.
04
Restraint is a feature
We don't optimize for clicks or deal volume. We optimize for decisions that hold up after closing. Fewer bad offers is a better outcome than more of everything.
