Basics

Getting Started with Trestle

Welcome — Trestle is a self-service underwriting platform for net lease commercial real estate.

Signing up

  • Go to trestlecre.com and click Get Started (or Sign Up Free)
  • Pick the Broker signup flow (or Lender if you're a lender)
  • Verify your email
  • You'll land on your dashboard with 1 free credit — enough to underwrite one deal end-to-end

Submitting your first deal

  • Click Submit Deal in the sidebar (or "Submit New Deal" from the dashboard)
  • Drop your Offering Memorandum (OM) PDF into the upload zone
  • Optionally add: lease document, comps PDF, property financials
  • Click Extract Deal Data — Trestle's AI parses everything in 30-60 seconds
  • Review the extracted data on the next screen. Edit anything that's wrong (the AI sometimes mis-reads numbers).
  • Click Submit Deal

The pipeline runs automatically: credit, environmental, appraisal, title, and underwriting all in parallel. Total time: about 3 minutes.

What you get

After the pipeline finishes, you'll see:

  • Pipeline cards at the top of the deal page (status of each step)
  • Underwriting summary — composite score and recommendation
  • DD detail pages — Credit, Environmental, Appraisal, Title (click each card)
  • Deal package — a 30+ page financing memorandum you can download as a PDF, branded with your logo

Next steps

  • Upload your logo + organization name in the Profile page so deal packages carry your brand
  • Try the Comp Tracker to save sales/lease comps for future deals
  • When you're ready, Submit to Lender Marketplace to get offers from lenders
