Agents, owners, surveyors, developers, retailers, investors, lenders, valuers and many other industry professionals rely on our suite of web-based services for access to the most comprehensive database of availability and deals information.

Our History

Twenty years ago CoStar Group, Inc. - a NASDAQ quoted company (NASDAQ: CSGP) - revolutionised the industry with a simple yet powerful idea: create the most thoroughly researched, unbiased source of commercial property information anywhere. Today CoStar's proprietary database covers more than 2 million properties, over 37 billion square feet of inventory across all commercial property types and classes and includes more than 3 million high-resolution photographs and images in its digital library.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, CoStar has approximately 1,300 employees, including the largest professional research organization in the industry.

Our UK & European Presence

Having established itself in the US as the main information provider, CoStar first entered the UK commercial property market in January 2003 by acquiring FOCUS Information Limited and, a year later, the Scottish Property Network (SPN). This positioned it very strongly at local, regional and national level for office and industrial availability, as well as research.

In December 2006, CoStar also acquired Paris-based GRECAM, hence signaling its expansion into Europe.

In February 2007, with the further UK acquisitions of Propex, a unique online trading platform and data exchange for the commercial property investment community, and Shopproperty, the largest database of retail availability, CoStar was unequivocally established as the leading source of Commercial Real Estate Information in the UK.

The result is a vast inventory of fully researched and continuously updated commercial properties of all classes and types, plus an astounding assortment of analytic tools - giving our customers unbeatable insight and perspective.

CoStar Group employs the industry's largest professional research organisation, allowing us to proactively track more commercial real estate than any other source.

Unlike other online listing services which are often incomplete and inaccurate, we don’t wait for users to post their listings. We proactively collect and verify the data: our highly skilled, dedicated research team gathers this information by constantly interviewing tenants, owners and agents, and examining over 60 million public records.

On top of that, our staff of Field Researchers drive thousands of miles every day; they measure and take pictures of buildings and collect for-lease and for-sale signs.

We've invested hundreds of millions of dollars to perfect our state-of-the-art software technology and extensive research methods. The result is an enormous database, the foundation for all CoStar Group services, that gives a more complete picture of local market conditions, including properties, tenants and sale comparable information and analytics. With the most reliable, accurate, timely and comprehensive information at their fingertips, our customers gain the competitive edge, win the best deals, and maximize their profits.

Vacancies at CoStar

CoStar has started rolling out its product in Europe, and it’s increasing its research capability in order to maintain the highest quality of data. We are currently recruiting a 30+ team of researchers, team leaders and trainers. Our new team, based in Glasgow, will scour the field, collecting and verifying volumes of property details and producing a vast inventory of researched and updated information.

Because research is what makes CoStar unique, we are aiming to attract candidates with the best contact centre experience, preferably but not necessarily from commercial Real Estate background.

What we offer is a challenging job where we train staff, build their knowledge on the Real Estate industry and develop them so that they can grow at the same pace as our European presence.

The Research team’s objective will be to build relationships in a business-to-business frame: they will speak with real estate agents, gain their trust and validate the information, making sure they benefit from our service and collaboration as much as we benefit from theirs. Our salary structure and benefits scheme is set up to attract the best.
