What It Is

MAST is a SaaS/social marketplace platform built for the real estate investment ecosystem. Its goal is to connect active investors, passive investors, lenders, and project sponsors. The core pitch is to centralize real estate projects, investor profiles, communication records, documents, and investment management in a single cloud portal, replacing spreadsheets, contact lists, email, messaging tools, and basic CRM systems.

Core Features and Product Capabilities

Based on the official website, MAST is centered on real estate fundraising and investment management. Users can create and showcase project pages, upload project documents, build project portfolios, find suitable matches through investor and lender networks, manage communications with prospects and existing investors via CRM, reduce lengthy email threads through a chat interface, and track new investments, capital flows, distributions, and the status of multiple projects. The platform also highlights its ability to enrich investor data by capturing investors’ online footprint and adding social profiles, work history, interests, and other information to make outreach more relevant.

Pricing and Trial

MAST offers free registration and a 14-day free trial. The trial includes access to all features, including showcasing multiple projects, adding 10 contacts, using the CRM, and managing all projects. After the trial ends, a paid subscription is required to continue using the service, but the website copy does not disclose specific pricing, plan tiers, or seat limits. Its cancellation policy is relatively clear: users can cancel at any time and receive a refund for any unused subscription fees after the cancellation date.

Pros and Cons

Its main advantage is a strong focus on a specific industry use case, making it suitable for real estate project teams that want to manage investors, project materials, and fundraising communications in one place. The trial is fairly comprehensive, which helps with evaluation, and its cloud-based, mobile-friendly design lowers the barrier to adoption. The downside is limited disclosure around enterprise-level capabilities: third-party integrations, APIs, developer support, role-based permissions, security certifications, and data compliance are not clearly explained. Pricing is also not transparent, so buyers will likely need to speak with sales before making a decision.

Best Fit and Access from China

MAST is best suited for fix-and-flip investors, multifamily syndicators, model-home developers, real estate project sponsors, and small teams that need to find private capital and maintain investor relationships. The official website does not specify access conditions from China, nor does it disclose supported payment methods. If the intended use case involves China’s domestic real estate market or RMB payments, users may need to evaluate compliance, network connectivity, and local alternatives such as Feishu Bitable, Mingdao Cloud, or general-purpose CRMs like HubSpot and Pipedrive.
