How Axia Partners Cut Park Comps From 80 Hours to Same Day

Axia Partners underwrites RV park and outdoor hospitality acquisitions, and a full comparable analysis took 80 analyst hours per park, roughly three weeks of elapsed time. At the firm's acquisition pace that math stopped working, and Axia had planned to hire two analysts purely to keep comps ahead of the pipeline. Separately, a portfolio-wide comp refresh across every park took 21 days, so in practice it rarely got run.

SageCreek built Axia a comp analysis agent running on Claude Opus 4.6. Purpose-built browser automation collects booking and occupancy data for the target market, the agent runs the same analytical steps Axia's analysts ran by hand, and it writes up the study. It was built side by side with acquisitions lead Jake Jones so the output matches how the team underwrites, and it was checked against a completed 80-hour manual comp before going into use.

SageCreek built the agent alongside Jake Jones, Axia's acquisitions lead, rather than from a written spec. The starting point was the workflow the analysts already ran: which comparables get pulled, what booking and occupancy data matters, how the numbers get normalized, and what the finished study has to say for the deal team to act on it. Purpose-built browser automation gathers the data from the sources the analysts had been visiting by hand, and the agent, running on Claude Opus 4.6, executes the same analytical sequence and drafts the written study. The proof came from Jones himself. He had just finished an 80-hour comp analysis by hand and ran the agent against it as a check. It returned every comparable he had found plus about twice as many he had not, with more information on each. His reaction: "I don't want to be corny, but this is life changing." Mapping the workflow took about a week and the build took roughly two months. Jones now runs comps himself instead of queueing analyst time, the two planned analyst hires came off the plan, and the 21-day portfolio-wide refresh runs overnight for about $200 a month. Axia is extending the same agent into underwriting. Disclosure: Greg Butterfield is a partner at SageCreek and a general partner at Axia Partners.

Best for real estate and outdoor hospitality investors running an active acquisition pipeline, where comparable analysis is the bottleneck and the underlying data sits in booking and occupancy platforms rather than a licensed comps database. Strongest where an experienced analyst can sit with the build, and where a completed manual comp exists to validate against.
