CoStar offers a platform for real estate management needs.
It is well suited to a user community that is computer savvy. It is great for posting service requests because they can be done from a smartphone while walking through the building. Classified ads are helpful in allowing residents to rent parking spots or sell goods. The Survey feature is helpful for measuring the pulse of the community on different issues.
We had a need to add ongoing repetetive calendar bookings for amenities for various clubs and groups. CCC quickly designed and implemented the changes we required to satisfy around 20 different clubs and groups for booking many events and amenities.
This software provides one location to record all pertinent data for our condo. There are too many components here to mention them all.
Some examples Include: building design drawings.
Owner posted data from pets to parking details.
Instant building wide communication.
Access to rules, regulations, and procedures for all residents.
Access to forms to submit to the board for various approvals.
Condo Control Central has been very flexible and accomodating and developing whatever changes we have requested.
The home screen is not very modern. There are graphs and silly things on there.
Emailing the help desk doesn't seem to work....an electronic response comes in but not an answer. If you call, you get a live agent immediately though.
In our market (Portland, OR), not enough users implement the tools that could make CoStar so much better. For example, I specialize in medical but brokers and owners don't take the time to mark medical as an approved use in their buildings so I have to search much longer and cross-reference the data by contacting the brokers directly.
I find it really annoying that when I download documents CoStar doesn't use smart technology to automatically name my files. It is especially irritating since every piece of marketing we post to CoStar has a relevant file name yet when we download the same file we have to rename it.
I have had to contact CCC on a number of occasions and each time I was pleasantly surprised by their quick response and helpful information. They are always willing to help and make sure their clients are happy with information provided to them.
One of our landlords requested we try VTS but we didn't continue because it was such a small portfolio it too more time to update the database than we wanted to spend
The software is extremely useful, once a residents is added to the system they receive an automatic welcome email with instructions on how to log in and the benefits of using the software to communicate with management and concierge.
It is easy to download the contact information to print labels when doing a mail out.
Since CoStar has linked with LoopNet we have had fewer bad data calls. By which I mean old data from LoopNet that was available to the general public is now more regularly updated through CoStar so we have less confusion with our clients.
