[{"id": "g9c0j0j", "text": "Good morning!  I\u2019m curious why you are listing on CoStar and not a local MLS?  Are you anticipating a local or national investor?  I used CoStar for a billion years.  It\u2019s a decent platform but falls short with some property types, mixed use as an example.  Personally it never helped my team sell anything.  We just liked the comp data and even that could be spotty.", "replies": [{"id": "g9cfvtw", "text": "I have it listed on MLS too. I pay a lot of money for costar so i want to list it on there as well.", "replies": [{"id": "g9ckljt", "text": "Can you add the listing yourself as multifamily AND office?  That\u2019s the only workaround I can think of.  Dude.  CoStar is so expensive.", "replies": [{"id": "g9coex0", "text": "They won\u2019t mark it as multifamily at all because it\u2019s not 4+ units. :/ they\u2019re insanely expensive and they can\u2019t seem to comprehend mixed use or shipping centers and office condos, it\u2019s extremely irritating but about 75% of my leads come from them so I can\u2019t not use them.", "replies": [], "depth": 4}], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "g9c5bah", "text": "I wouldn't stress about it too much. At least in my area, there are so few income producing properties on the market right now that the right people will see it.", "replies": [{"id": "g9cg40a", "text": "We have a lot of office investment pieces and they\u2019re the only thing not moving, even our retail stuff is active but we\u2019re not seeing anyone looking for office buildings.

I\u2019ve had some luck with that?", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "g9frznf", "text": "I'd list it as residential. It's a small building so you're in the market of smaller buyers who often have residential-centric portfolios.\n\nWhat's the zoning on the first floor? Could that office become residential? Then it's not a true mix-use building anyway. \n\nIn general, list your buildings in whatever way will attract the most attention. The game of selling is finding the outlier buyers, which is more often than not, about getting a lot of looks. If it's listed as retail or office, you'll likely get many thumbs down and passes due to the retail market and the optics of having so much residential on floors 2 and 3. If it's listed as residential, you'll likely get more looks and maybe find a person who values the small bonus first-floor office.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
