Keyway describes an "Agentic Operating System purposefully built for Commercial Real Estate": document extraction and lease abstraction, rent comps, market intelligence, investment committee memos and performance monitoring. Titleman does fewer jobs and starts elsewhere, at an address, returning an underwriting or value opinion with each figure traced to its source. Pick Keyway for an ongoing document-and-comps workflow with a trial available. Pick Titleman when you want closed sales as comps and a live Excel model from an address.

What Keyway lists
Keyway names property and asset managers, brokers, investors and lenders as users. Its modules are KeyDocs, KeyComps and KeyBrain, and it lists investment committee memos, loan narratives and performance monitoring. It states SOC 2 Type II. Its own page says AI accuracy depends on the underlying models, so users must verify results, and that its comps draw on openly available data. We could not find stated Excel or API support on the pages we read, so ask before assuming either.
Where Titleman differs
Sale comps with rules you can read. Titleman's comps are closed sales of the same property type, within one mile by default and the last 24 months, with date, price and size on each row. A comp set needs at least three priced comps, the subject's own sale is excluded, and rows that are not truly comparable come back as reference only, with the reason. The same request returns the same rows in the same order. Keyway's comps are described as rent comps, so the two are not interchangeable.
A model you can open. The underwriting comes as a memo and a live Excel model with a 10-year pro forma, loan schedule, DSCR, debt yield and returns. Each input shows its source and date and each result its formula. The median underwriting took about 56 minutes over the 30 days to 13 October 2026; about one run in ten took longer than 96 minutes. Repeat runs can differ, so read the stated assumptions. The memo does not give a final price or a buy or sell verdict.
What Titleman lacks. It does not monitor performance after the deal, and its lease reading is lighter than a dedicated abstraction tool. If lease abstraction is the main job, see what lease abstraction is.
Who should pick which
- Asset managers who want documents, comps and monitoring in one place: Keyway.
- Investors and lenders who want a sourced model on an address, with sale comps: Titleman.
How to test them on one deal
Give both the same rent roll and T-12. Check the tie-out, and ask what each comp is: rent or sale, with what date and size.
What neither replaces
- A licensed appraisal where one is required.
- Title, legal and environmental diligence.
- The professional who signs the decision.
