Commercial Listing Services Whats the big deal and do I need to sub to a service?
So I have dabbled in real estate both commercial and residential and although Costar offers a lot of information in one place one common question comes up in my mind. Why pay so much money to view listings? If yoyou'reure trying to sell you will post a property everywhere including public forums what makes costar different?

I feel like a lot of people will say pay to view that makes you as an agent worth more to a client but I feel like agency representation is enough value without having to make our "access" to listings make us valuable.
