Review the several core uses for inspectors within CoStar to better understand clients, gather direct contact information, and advance company goals, including:
What’s the cost for this Costar affiliate subscription through CCPIA? It the contract monthly or annual? Or do you have to submit an inquiry with Costar to get those details?
I got in touch with a Costar rep. Some basic information for anyone interested as follows:
Pricing is based a few factors such as location and how many licenses. Contract is 12 months minimum. Just in case I’m stepping on any toes. I won’t give exact quote I received, but it’s several hundred per month range for 1 license. That license basically means 1 user.
My thoughts from a commercial inspector POV is that this definitely could be worth value if you have a solid strategy and plan together in order to utilize the Costar database effectively. No trial period, so you would have to hit the ground running from day 1.
With their demo you are only looking at someone elses screen and it doesn’t allow for a pesonal trial of the system. A 7 day trial would be nice. Even if they restricted the data that’d be ok. I’d like to log in and just get use to everything. Like with any program or software, its takes a week or 2 just to familiarize with it, the longer to become proficient. Maybe CCPIA could negotiate an exclusive deal? A 6 month contract would be attractive too. Maybe CCPIA could pass along the feedback. But I got a feeling Costar is pretty firm and set in their ways
