Independent operator performance intelligence
Your property managers report on your assets. Operator IQ measures the managers themselves: lease-up speed, tenant retention and rent performance, for every operator in your market, from the listings they ran.

The blind spot
An operator sees performance across its whole portfolio. You see your properties and the reports your operator prepares. No one is hiding anything; operators simply have more context. Operator IQ gives you the independent outside view.
The outside view
Operator IQ answers these from observed market activity. The same measures, on every operator, in every market.

Per-metric ratings, portfolio estimates and cohort comparisons come straight from the live scorecard layer.
View a sample scorecard →Three jobs, one independent standard
One observed record answers all three questions, so a shortlist and a performance review never argue from different numbers.
Shortlist operators with the right geography, scale and demonstrated performance for the assignment, before you sign.
Browse markets →Benchmark an operator against peers facing the same market conditions, so every number arrives with the context to judge it.
See a sample scorecard →Track lease-up, retention, rent and marketing over time. A monthly signal tells you when something shifts, while there is still time to act on it.
Build a watch list →What a monthly signal looks like
Each signal states what moved, against which peers, over what period, with the numbers beside it.

Lease-up has eased from the 71st to the 38th percentile among Phoenix peers over the last 90 days.
Why this couldn’t be done before
Comparing operators independently takes five things at once. Dwellsy has all five: 30,000+ operators measured across 47 live metros.

How we measure
Every score is built from what operators did in the market: listings, days on market, rent and retention signals. The full methodology is public, including what the listing record can and cannot see.
Portfolio size estimated from observed on-market turnover, split by unit type, since houses and apartments re-list at different rates. Reported as a band, not a false-precision figure.
Read methodology: Scale →Every operator mapped to one of seven types from observed unit mix and community concentration, not corporate self-description: SFR Independent, SFR Institutional, Hybrid, and Small or Large MF/BTR, Independent or Institutional.
Read methodology: Type →Days on market, tenant retention, rent trajectory and concession use, visible without waiting to be told. Every metric is cohort-relative and reproducible from the Dwellsy listing record.
Read methodology: Operating signals →Multi-market presence, top-city concentration and one identity across markets. Enough to tell a specialist with 80% of its units in one city from a platform stretched across nine.
Read methodology: Footprint →Not ready for a conversation

Data as of Oct 29, 2026
Every score, rank and chart in Operator IQ comes from one versioned methodology, not bespoke per-operator analysis. Selection bias, eligibility thresholds, cohort assignment and quadrant placement are documented in full and revised in numbered releases. When the methodology changes, prior versions stay accessible, and every scorecard carries the version it was computed under.
