A CoStar Group Case Study
Hintikka Consulting and Legal Services, founded by Mathias Hintikka, provides property tax assessment guidance across Ontario and relied on verified sales and owner data to challenge MPAC assessments more efficiently. To solve slow, manual research and incomplete ownership records, the firm adopted CoStar Group’s CoStar Suite® to access expertly researched sales comps, true owner information, and dedicated researcher support.
Using CoStar Group’s data and researcher services, Hintikka reduced research time by 70%, doubled annual deal volume, and saved $16,000 in added subscription costs; files now close 30–60% faster, sometimes in as little as two months. CoStar Group’s comprehensive reports and owner contact data also improved prospecting and allowed many assessments to be resolved quickly with minimal negotiation.
