Case Study: T. Dallas Smith & Company achieves faster market insights and 36-state expansion with CoStar Group

Life Before CoStar An Industry Veteran’s Take on CRE Information and Technology

T. Dallas Smith & Company is an Atlanta-based tenant representation firm led by founder T. Dallas Smith that serves corporate clients across office, industrial and land markets. Before adopting CoStar Group, the firm relied on time-consuming, manual research and local knowledge to find comps, contacts and lease data—limiting speed and geographic reach. To scale nationally and give brokers fast, reliable market intelligence, the firm turned to CoStar Group’s researched, verified data platform and mobile app.

CoStar Group delivered comprehensive portfolio, tenant, sale/lease comp, imagery and analysis tools plus mobile access, enabling T. Dallas Smith & Company to produce clean one‑page property reports and update itineraries on the fly. The vendor’s solution cut data‑gathering from “three days” to “three minutes,” supported expansion from a Georgia focus to transactions in 36 states, and improved the firm’s agility on five‑property tours and large deals—making CoStar Group the backbone of the company’s competitive advantage.
