How would i go about selling my idea/product to Costar?

As simple as it gets. Do I simply cold email someone over there in business development? I created an excel dashboard that uses a few power queries and you drop in your rent roll from real page and it automatically spits you a report on your 1 2 3 bedrooms per market and compares it with your comp list and how they're doing. So essentially, you can see if you're at 100% occ at 3 bedrooms andthe  whole market is 97%, then jack rents and so on. Its a neat tool and it saved a bunch of time for all our AMs.

why would u show them? if it's without an NDA they can just build it themselves. if i were you i would use something like blaze(dot)tech to just create this as an app in itself 

 

CoStar doesn't care about this.  They are unlikely to integrate this.  After the RealPage lawsuit, I don't think anyone is going to stick their toes in this area anytime soon.
