THE STORY
CRE in Birmingham is booming but it wasn’t always that way. In 2013, as the property market was still recovering from the downturn, Philippa Pickavance set up as a small agency, competing with the established agents. CoStar data has helped in her success. Starting out
Seeing the whole picture
“When I first set up on my own, I didn’t think I would bother with CoStar. However having had it at previous firms I soon missed it. It’s like having your own research team sitting with you whenever you need it.”
“I buy, sell, and let commercial office property across the Midlands. I use CoStar Suite for tracking down information on properties. I just type in the location details and get everything there is to get on a building.”
“If I am acting in an acquisition I would still contact agents directly, but it’s really handy to have CoStar Suite by my side to search and print out an initial schedule of what’s available.”
“ CoStar Suite is like having a separate research team”
“I’ve found that with CoStar as my research team, I’ve got everything I need at my fingertips.” “CoStar is my research team”
“Punching above my weight”
“Without CoStar it just isn’t as easy. If I’d set up on my own 20 years ago, I’d have had to employ people, but now with IT and CoStar I can do it on my own. Although I thought I might eventually do this, I’ve found that with CoStar as my research team, I’ve got everything I need at my fingertips.”
“Using CoStar Suite means I’m able to punch well above my weight. If somebody asks me to do something, instantly, I can.” “Perhaps rather arrogantly, I used to think I could do all this research myself. I probably could, but it would
take me a week. With CoStar what’s really important is I know I can rely on the accuracy of the data. It’s a really good basis and it saves me a lot of time as a sole trader. As CoStar works closely with Birmingham Office Market Forum (BOMF) I know the data has been compiled with care.”
CoStar Suite levels the playing field for smaller agents, enabling them to deliver rapid, high quality service to their clients.
