FAQS

Who should use Decision Science technology for SFR acquisitions & management?

Purple Arrow

Decision Science is an all-in-one investor services platform designed to accelerate acquisitions, streamline management, and optimize performance for multi-market SFR portfolios. Our toolset is specialized for institutional investors buying and managing multiple properties per market per month.

How does Picket’s Decision Science technology work?

Purple Arrow

We call our technology “Decision Science” because it’s designed to bring smarter, more usable data to bear on every decision and every interaction through the entire SFR value chain. We use data science, machine-trained algorithms, and advanced modeling techniques to deliver optimized outcomes automatically. When human judgment is required (as it is frequently in real estate), we obsess over providing the most substantial, meaningful context to help clients and teams make the best-informed decisions for their portfolios. This approach doesn’t only apply to asset identification, analysis, and acquisitions - though that’s our foundation; we bring more data and context to the full lifecycle of SFR assets, driving incremental yield across acquisitions, property management, and your portfolio as a whole.

How does pricing work?

Purple Arrow

We have modular pricing based on a combination of market access and transaction volumes.

How quickly can I get started?

Purple Arrow

Once the contract is signed, we can get you and your team logged in, set up, and making offers through the Decision Science platform in less than 72 hours.

What if I don’t see the market(s) I’m interested in?

Purple Arrow

We are expanding our market coverage at a rapid clip based on our ongoing analysis of market performance and potential. We use data science to predict future dynamics, and we continually balance macroeconomic trendlines with real-time market signals to position our investors in the vanguard of SFR demand.

What makes you different from other companies building tech for SFR?

Purple Arrow

Our differentiation is part technology, part team, part intent. Picket’s Decision Science technology is vertically-integrated to support faster data-driven decision-making at every stage of the SFR value chain, from acquisitions and property management to long-term portfolio optimization. The platform was built in conjunction with and in service of some of the most experienced SFR brokers and operators in the industry. Combining that industry expertise with the ingenuity of world-class technologists, we’re setting out to improve access to this remarkable asset class and spread its unique benefits to investors and residents.

Ultimately, Picket sees an opportunity to bring new efficiencies and perpetual innovation to the way homes across the U.S. are acquired, rented, and enjoyed. We are here to have a powerfully positive impact on the experience and culture of renting in America, and that’s what drives us.
