BrokerHQ vs Terrakotta: Tenant Prospecting Intelligence vs AI Cold Calling
Updated August 23, 2026
Terrakotta and BrokerHQ both market themselves as "AI for CRE brokers," and a lot of brokers ask which one to buy first. Short answer: they solve different halves of the same workflow.
Terrakotta is an AI voice agent. It picks up the phone, dials a list you give it, and runs a scripted conversation at scale. It compresses hundreds of cold-call hours into a workday.
BrokerHQ is the prospecting and intelligence platform that builds that list in the first place. It surfaces lease maturities, expansion signals, and public-filing intel so the names you dial are the ones who are actually about to make a real-estate decision. If you point Terrakotta at a cold rented list, you get cold rented-list results. If you point it at a list of companies whose leases expire in the next 18 months and just closed a Series B, you get a different conversation.
If you have to pick one to start with, most tenant reps need the intelligence before they need the dialer.
Side-by-side comparison
When to choose BrokerHQ
- You don't know who to call. Your top problem is building a high-intent prospect list, not executing on one.
- You want to know why a company is a good prospect (lease expiring, just expanded, public-filing signal) before you call.
- You want pricing on the website, not on a sales call.
- You want one place to research, draft outreach, and track the pipeline.
When to choose Terrakotta
- You already have a high-quality prospect list and your bottleneck is dial volume.
- You want an AI voice agent that can run live phone conversations at scale.
- You're comfortable with AI-driven calling as a first-touch motion in your market.
