About Top Shelf Models
At Top Shelf® Models, we started with a mission to build real estate Excel models that weren’t generic. Our custom-built templates have been used by hundreds of private equity firms, investors, lenders, and brokers to model deals with confidence and clarity.
Now, we’re building on that foundation with Top Shelf Models AI—a new way to underwrite commercial real estate deals.
Upload your Offering Memo, review key assumptions, and receive a fully built Excel model in minutes. It’s the fastest way to get from document to decision—without compromising the quality or structure of an institutional-grade file.
Whether you need a model template using our Custom Model Builder, or automating your deal flow with our AI-driven platform, every solution is grounded in the same underwriting standards trusted across the industry.
Founded in 2019 and powered by 3E Management, we bring real-world deal experience into every model we build—manual or automated.
Template Models: As we thought about the most important characteristics in any financial template model, we knew that all models needed to contain certain essential features. They must be accurate, efficient, intuitive, robust, personalized, and visually appealing. Our real estate Excel financial models are fully customizable, precise and error-free. We have experience in financial modeling for an extensive range of property types. Each of our clients receives their personalized financial model and a 30-minute complimentary consultation with the analyst that developed their customized real estate Excel financial model to ensure that the model is right for them.
Top Shelf Models AI: The fastest way to go from OM to Excel.
Upload your Offering Memo, confirm key assumptions, and receive a fully functional Excel model—automatically.
Backed by the same modeling structure used in our custom templates.
In 2021, Top Shelf Models was recognized as a finalist for The Financial Modeling Resource of the Year Award.
What Sets Top Shelf Models Apart
We know that there are several real estate Excel financial models out there, but we listened to our clients and used our industry knowledge to create our Custom Model Builder. As you can see in this video, our model builder guides you through a series of questions that then creates a financial model that is personalized to you and your property type.
Our competitors usually have one model template for each property type, whereas we have 16 different versions for most property types to meet your individual needs. We use iterative calculations to ensure accuracy and efficiency. We generally have more functionality and control over the assumptions.
We make sure to test our models to ensure there are no miscalculations or mistakes before offering them to our customers.
