Included in the data are lease comps, sales comps, property information and other analytics. This information can be compiled into customized reports based on your client’s needs and wants.

Additional in-depth information that is available are things like starting rents, landlord concessions, and sales histories of competing properties to aid in negotiations.

Valuation tools such as project income, estimated fair market value and the monitoring of trends across properties and submarkets help brokers and appraisers get a 360 degree view of a property.
