Duckfund has launched an AI-driven platform that gives commercial real estate investors rapid access to earnest money deposits, delivering funding in as little as 48 hours. The automated system supports deposit financing from $25,000 up to $20 million across multifamily, industrial, retail, and single-family commercial assets. With a streamlined digital lending model that simplifies everything from application and underwriting to document execution, Duckfund has already enabled investors to secure more than $1.5 billion in CRE financing.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

NEW YORK, NY\u00a0 \u2013 <\/span>Duckfund<\/span><\/a>, a leading provider of earnest money deposit (EMD) financing solutions, has introduced <\/span>a fully automated, AI-driven platform<\/b> designed to help commercial real estate (CRE) investors move from application to deposit on escrow in <\/span>as little as 48 hours.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The announcement comes as CRE investors face stiff competition, a lack of lending options, and <\/span>a slow recovery in key property sectors<\/span><\/a>. Duckfund\u2019s fluid lending model, backed by institutional funding, is set to remove roadblocks and help investors close deals faster than ever. The fully digital platform uses <\/span>AI-driven tools<\/b> to streamline underwriting and transaction verification, helping investors move from application to funding much quicker than traditional processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDuckfund is<\/span> a first-in-class, fully automated real estate financing platform,<\/b>\u201d said Anna Kogan, CEO of Duckfund. \u201cAll processes\u00a0 \u2013 including application, underwriting, document formation, notarization, payment processing, and origination \u2013 are user-friendly, seamless, and completed in seconds. Our clients can now apply in under five minutes and have their deposit funded within 48 hours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform is ideal for mid-size investors managing deals between $3 million and $20 million, as well as an average first-time CRE ground deposit of $500,000. It serves a wide range of investment types, including <\/span>multifamily<\/span><\/a>, single-family, <\/span>industrial<\/span><\/a>, and retail properties. It is particularly useful for investors working on multiple deals simultaneously or syndicating equity during due diligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Step-by-Step Digital Solution for Faster, Smarter CRE Transactions<\/b><\/h2>\n

    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Identity verification.<\/b> Users secure verification via phone or online notarization.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Introductory and validation calls.<\/b> Duckfund\u2019s team provides guidance and clarity on the deal structure.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. AI-powered chat service:<\/b> Provides answers to investors\u2019 questions 24\/7.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n

    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Service agreement and fee payment.<\/b> Contracts are signed electronically, and upfront fees are processed digitally.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n

    \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cFlexibility is key to our service,\u201d Anna Kogan added. \u201cOur platform automates all extension and amendment requests, so clients can adapt to deal changes without delay, keeping transactions moving smoothly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    Duckfund\u2019s financing platform launches at a crucial time in the commercial property market. <\/span>75% of investors plan to boost their real estate allocations in the next 12\u201318 months<\/b>, even as high interest rates keep liquidity tight, according to Deloitte\u2019s 2026 CRE Outlook. This shows strong confidence in CRE as a hedge against inflation and a source of long-term stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For investors, this is an excellent moment to expand portfolios \u2013 and Duckfund provides the speed and flexibility to secure deals in this competitive market.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Since its inception, Duckfund has helped investors acquire over <\/span>$1.5 billion in commercial real estate properties<\/b> thanks to capital solutions that push for faster closing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The platform digitizes and automates the EMD process by removing common bottlenecks, reducing administrative friction, and empowering investors to act quickly in competitive markets.<\/span><\/p>\n
