Frequently Asked Questions

How current is the market data from Deep Research?

Deep Research aggregates from public sources including brokerage reports, news, and real estate data providers. For precise quarterly submarket statistics, always supplement with your firm's proprietary database or CoStar/CBRE research. These tools are best for building the narrative context around your proprietary data.

Can Lead Finder help me reach corporate real estate executives at specific companies?

Yes — Lead Finder searches by title, company, location, and industry. For CRE prospecting, search for "VP Real Estate," "Head of Facilities," "Corporate Real Estate Director," or "Chief Operating Officer" at companies in the size range most likely to need your space type.

How can SEC Filings help me find tenant prospects?

Public companies disclose real estate plans, location expansions, and facility obligations in their 10-K and 10-Q filings. Search by company name or industry terms like "office expansion" or "new facility" to find signals of upcoming requirements before they hit the market.

Can Contract Opportunities help me find government leasing needs?

Yes — GSA and agency lease solicitations are public procurement opportunities. Contract Opportunities searches federal, state, and local procurement databases so you can track agency space needs in your market. Set up regular searches for your submarkets to get early notice of requirements.

How do I use Company Lookup to vet a tenant before presenting them to a landlord?

Company Lookup returns company size, estimated revenue, investor backing, and registered details. Combine this with a News search for the company to surface any red flags like layoffs, funding issues, or litigation. Present this as a brief tenant profile to your landlord client alongside the LOI.
