(1-6 of 6)LoopNet saves time and effort in property research
LoopNet provides info that would take considerably more time to ascertain without the use of LoopNet. With this information, we can dedicate more time to selling and managing our services.
- Accurate Owner information
- Contact info for owners and or management companies associated with the property
- Ownership history
- Some of the information is outdated
- Some contact info is lacking - missing a phone number
- Better emailing features
LoopNet may be less appropriate for product sales as these providers may need to be more connected with the occupants of the properties more than the owners.
LoopNet is worth the spend.
- User-friendly
- Lead tracking
- Listing/Marketing
- I would like the lead emails formatted differently with better information.
Do NOT advertise on LoopNet
- Market exposure
- Lead generation
- Quality control is poor
- The demeanor of those that work there is arrogant and indifferent
LoopNet is a Good Tool for the Arsenal
- LoopNet provides easily printable reports for my clients.
- LoopNet clearly markets my listings.
- LoopNet provides a fairly detailed representation of on the market properties.
- There are often glitches on the sight from the searching to report pulling process
- The alert function for saved searches is very rarely functional
- The database search is often glitchy if you put in a high price limit, and no low price limit
- For my listings, to do email marketing to prospects
- For my for lease, for sale searches, I used it to find new properties that have hit the market, and I have to run reports, surveys of avails
- Immediate alerts can be set up for new listings that meet your criteria
- You can map an area you are interested in searching
- The report writing has some decent functionality
- You can email prospects about your listing
- They are trying to force you to use costar, so now they added 3 extra steps for you to run a report. They say running avails surveys is like RESEARCHING DATA, which falls under Co-Star.
- They raised rates 40% recently, with no improvement. The actually reduced functionality and efficiency.
- They hide alot of listings that are on CoSTar.
- They used to do SEO stuff for your listing, so when you type in the property address on Google your listing would show up. Now they hide, suppress your listing. I can't find my listings using GOOGLE. You are paying for exposure to potential clients/tenants/buyers, but you don't actually get that exposure until you pay extra.
- Ever since COSTar took over loopnet it has been a continual downhill experience.
LoopNet is the necessary evil taking over the world
- Ultimately LoopNet is a listing service for brokers and a research service for the public. It shows up first on almost every Google search related to commercial property leasing or sales. This is its largest value.
- LoopNet does a very good job of being known. Most members of the public seem to be familiar with LoopNet and many people looking for space or to buy a building will search LoopNet.
- LoopNet has the most accurate data of any commercial MLS. It cannot be completely trusted, but it is definitely better than its competitors.
- LoopNet needs to do a better job of sifting through to delete old and stale listings. These listings are inaccurate and clutter a report to lower its credibility.
- I am not a fan of the reporting. As a broker, I can make sense of the reports but the public is not always as savvy.
