Altus Data Studio for Brokers
Win the mandate. Back every pitch.
CRE sales and transaction data validated by local market experts — not just scraped from public registry.

Coverage across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH), Ottawa, Gatineau, and Montreal.
The problem
Your comps are only as good as your data source
Most brokers in Canada are working from the same incomplete picture — registry data that's weeks behind, board comps missing key terms, and client-facing materials that can't withstand scrutiny.
Building a comp set takes hours, not minutes
Manual data gathering from multiple sources, cross-referencing registry records, following up with colleagues for deal terms — all before you've written a single line of analysis.
Public records don't tell the full story
Sale price is one thing. Cap rate, financing structure, percentage transferred, and price per sq ft are what actually inform a pricing conversation — and they're rarely in the registry.
Clients are coming to meetings with their own data
Consumer-grade platforms have made property data more accessible. Brokers who can't go deeper than what a client already found are losing the advisory conversation before it starts.
How it helps brokers
Three capabilities that change how you prepare
Each one maps to a specific moment in a broker's workflow — from first research to client presentation.
01
Sales comps with full transaction detail
Transaction records include details like sale price, price per sq ft, cap rate, financing structure, percentage transferred, construction year, and tenancy type. Not just what sold — but the terms that make a transaction analytically useful.
Workflow moment
Pitch preparation and client advisory — building a defensible pricing position backed by verified comparable sales
02
Market absorption rates by submarket
Filter leasing availability and sales volume by submarket, product type, and time period to show clients where the market is moving — and why your pricing recommendation reflects it.
Workflow moment
Market updates and investment advisory — demonstrating knowledge of submarket dynamics your client hasn't seen elsewhere
03
Stakeholder and ownership data
Transaction records can include purchaser and vendor information, and commercial listings records may carry leasing agent and ownership details. Together, they give you visibility into who is active in a market — useful context for prospecting and identifying ownership patterns that signal readiness to transact.

Financing structure — cash, assumed, vendor-take-back
Primary, secondary, and tertiary lender
Percentage of interest transferred
Purchaser and vendor stakeholder data
Building size, construction year, tenancy type
Sale type, distress type, estate type
