CoStar GroupReviews of costar.com

Absolute scammers. Know nothing about real estate. Cannot even get an advert right. 8 attempts and still not correct. They will promise you anything master bull shitters fast talking go getting just like on the beach on holiday when they keep you chatting the you notice you have no watch. They maintain this until they have your money and then expect nothing except lies lies lies oh and more lies

My experience with CoStar felt extremely deceptive. The "Account Executive" that baited me into a $6,200+ annual subscription described a treasure trove of lease comp market data which turned out to be virtually non-existent for my submarket. They also promised cross-platform access to LoopNet's listing service, which turned into their (ultra-tacky) opportunity to upsell me on a four-figure annual Loopnet subscription. When I pushed-back on these egregious misrepresentations and deceitful business practices, my CoStar Account Executive essentially disappeared like a ghost. Word is that he departed CoStar for good shortly thereafter and is now working as a plumber. All of this deception didn't stop CoStar from dipping into their termination clause language, a link to which was buried within the ultra-fine print of my subscription agreement, then auto-renewing me for Year 2 at a new annual rate of $6,500+. The timing of their invoice's artfully-crafted arrival fell just beyond the closing of my cancellation window. In my mind, the clear reason behind CoStar's intractable requirement of an annual subscription is that most anyone allowed to test-drve their service by subscribing month-to-month would follow my former Account Executive into ghosthood in Month 2. Potential subscribers beware!

There is literally not one good thing that I can say about CoStar. They charge my card $450/month because I signed a one-year contract. They provide very little data and properties and most of the time it is inaccurate. Their customer service is atrocious. They overpromise, underdeliver. STAY away from using Costar! Update: I recently switched to Crexi and it is LIGHTYEARS better!

My Late partner passed away in 2009 having suffered a truly MASSIVE STROKE. Whilst appreciating that large and multinational companies feel they are above the laws of man this organisation goes one better believing itself to be above the laws of GOD and Nature. This morning despite 12 years ago having registered my partners name on the Bereavement Register to avoid receiving painful letters and e-mails I received a post card addressed to him; clearly they believe they can resurrect the dead !!! ( something I believe only Jesus Christ could do). I spoke with customer services who at first found my comments amusing, actually Laughing before changing their tone and being promised - Leave this with me and I will see what I can do.... I have asked that they raise a cheque in favour of Guy's Hospital Rheumatology department to the tune of £1,000 to compensate me for their lack of professionalism in processing mail to my late partner so close to the anniversary of his death and his Birthday. Today I discovered that they made s paltry donation of £250 hardly compatible to the pain they inflicted on me so close to the anniversary of his death and his birthday... But then perhaps to this organisation GAY LIVES HAVE NO VALUE !!!
