Case Study: Cresa achieves 50% faster market knowledge and 40% revenue growth with CoStar Group

CoStar Provides Critical Market Knowledge to Brokers 50% Faster, Leading to Exponential Year-over Year Growth for Cresa’s Toronto office

Cresa’s Toronto office, the occupier‑centric firm’s largest in Canada, faced a time‑consuming challenge: relying on broker flyers, landlord calls and market visits to verify listings and tenant information. To streamline research and deliver unbiased, conflict‑free advice to clients, Cresa adopted CoStar Group’s CoStar Suite (including CoStar Tenant and CoStar Property) in 2014.

CoStar Group provided fast, verified market data, contact databases and mobile access that let brokers research opportunities and call prospects from anywhere. As a result, Cresa brokers generate leads twice as fast, new brokers acquire critical market knowledge 50% faster, the team has rapidly expanded, and the office achieved a 40% year‑over‑year revenue increase while broadening its services.
