CoStar is enterprise research. We're operator sourcing.
CoStar built the gold standard for institutional CRE research, and prices it accordingly. CRE Finder is built for the rest of the market: principals, wholesalers, brokers, and acquisitions teams who need to find off-market product and dial the owner today, not run a quarterly tenant survey.
CoStar vs CRE Finder · Coverage
CoStar's data is the deepest in commercial real estate. Tenant rosters, building-level lease comps, broker-network analytics, market reports. CRE Finder doesn't try to replicate that. We do one thing (surface every commercial parcel and resolve the owner) and we do it cheaper and faster.
CoStar vs CRE Finder · Workflow
CoStar is built for an analyst sitting at a desk preparing an IC memo. CRE Finder is built for an acquisitions person between meetings, ten minutes between calls. Same industry, different jobs.
When CoStar is the better choice
CoStar is the right answer for a real set of jobs. We're not pretending to be a substitute for these:
If your fund manages over a billion in CRE, you probably already have CoStar. Tenant-level data, lease comps and broker analytics matter at that scale in ways they don't for a $50M operator.
Quarterly market reports, submarket vacancy trends, absorption forecasts: CoStar's analytics team produces the standard reference in the industry. We don't.
CoStar tracks who occupies the building, lease expiration, in-place rents. That's a different problem than 'who owns the building and how do I reach them.' If you need the tenant view, you need CoStar.
