Real Estate Presentation
Real estate decks split into two jobs: selling a property to a buyer, and selling a deal to an investor. The investor version lives or dies on the numbers slide and the risk slide — a deck with returns but no downside case reads as a brochure.

The slide sequence
Each step names the Lumen slide layout to use, so you can build this deck by adding layouts to a blank deck in order. Manual building is free and unlimited, and it does not consume the AI meter.
What makes this deck fail
- Photography instead of evidence. Images matter, but the numbers and comparables carry the decision.
- Returns with no assumptions. An unstated exit yield is the most common way a projection misleads.
- No risk slide. Sophisticated buyers discount any deck that presents no downside.
- Stale comparables. Date every comparable transaction; markets move faster than decks.
- Burying the ask. State the investment sought and the structure plainly.

| Investor pack | Everything, plus full financial model in appendix | Nothing — append instead |
Frequently asked questions
What should a real estate presentation include?
The property and proposition, headline numbers, specification, location case, comparable evidence, financials with stated assumptions, the delivery plan, risks and a specific ask.
What is the difference between a listing deck and an investment deck?
A listing deck sells a property to an occupier or buyer and leans on the space. An investment deck sells a return and lives on the financials, the assumptions and the risk slide.
How many photographs should a real estate deck have?
Enough to answer the questions a buyer would ask — condition, layout, aspect — rather than as many as you have. Images support the case; they do not make it.
Do I need a risk slide?
For anything investment-facing, yes. Experienced investors discount decks that present only upside, because every real deal has downside.
Can I build a real estate deck for free?
Yes. Building manually from a blank deck in Gixo Lumen is free and unlimited on every plan, with no export paywall.
