They operate on a similar model (ie the commoditization of a broker's deal information). However, from what I have read and heard is that in NYC where Compstak began, there were poor availability of lease comps so the give to get model worked very well but in a transparent market like London brokers are a reluctant to 'share' their data which is dumb because CoStar will just ring you up, get the data and sell it back to you \u00a3300,000/year... but hey that's none of my business.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "cuyisoo", "text": "do you brokers give comps to people like that?
