In this episode, host Rob Claus welcomes Bethany Messier from CoStar Group, the world leader in commercial real estate data and analytics. CoStar is widely recognized for having the most comprehensive database of CRE information across the U.S. and Canada and is the parent company of LoopNet, Homes.com, Apartments.com, Land.com, and Matterport.

CoStar’s tools are widely used by commercial property inspectors for property research, proposal development, and pre-inspection preparation. Their data helps inspectors understand a property’s history, ownership, tenancy, and market context. This supports ROI-driven business development and leads to better proposals and preparation before arriving on-site. 

In this episode, Bethany and Rob discuss how CoStar’s platform supports business development for inspectors, including targeting the right clients, identifying opportunities, and building a sustainable pipeline of commercial property inspection work. 

They also highlight CCPIA’s exclusive partnership with CoStar, which gives CCPIA members customized onboarding and support to help grow their inspection business. Visit CCPIA.org to learn more about the partnership.
