Built for a problem
others do not solve

There are platforms for sourcing market data, finding listings, and tracking deals in the pipeline. None of them are built to privately manage your brokerage's own closed comp history. That is what Compstash does.

Market Data Platform

Compstash vs. Market Data Platforms

Different tools

Enterprise platforms that aggregate industry-wide CRE data and sell access to it as a subscription service.

Market Data Platform

Designed to give subscribers visibility into broad market activity: sales, leases, asking rents, and property records sourced from public filings and broker submissions.

Data accuracy is inconsistent in non-disclosure states where transaction details are not publicly recorded
Broker-submitted data is collected, aggregated, and resold back to the market as part of the product
Enterprise pricing typically runs five to six figures annually, regardless of firm size or usage
Customer support quality does not always scale with account value, even at the highest tiers
Acquisition of competing platforms has reduced the number of independent alternatives available to brokers
Broad market focus means no tools for managing a brokerage's own proprietary deal history

Compstash

Built exclusively for your brokerage's own closed deals. Your comp data is never aggregated, resold, or shared with any other subscriber or third party.

Stores only your own records: data accuracy reflects what your team closes, not third-party feeds
Your data is private by design and never resold or contributed to any external database
Flat monthly subscription priced for independent brokerages and growing teams
24/7 support included at every plan level, not reserved for enterprise accounts
Independent platform with no acquisition agenda: built specifically for comp management
The only platform purpose-built for managing a brokerage's proprietary comp database

The bottom line: Market data platforms sell access to industry-wide data. Compstash is where you manage the data your brokerage generates itself. Most brokerages that use one will still benefit from the other.

Listings Marketplaces

Built to maximize visibility for active listings. The goal is broad public exposure: the more eyes on a property, the more qualified inquiries a broker receives.

Focused on active, available properties marketed to prospective buyers and tenants
Public by design: data is shared widely to generate inbound interest
Built for deal sourcing and pipeline generation, not closed deal documentation
Once a deal closes, the listing is removed: no record is kept of the transaction details
No tools for organizing, filtering, or reporting on a brokerage's historical comp data

Compstash

Built for what happens after a deal closes. Where listings marketplaces help you find the next deal, Compstash captures and organizes the ones you have already done.

Stores closed and executed transactions, not active listings
Private by design: records are never published or shared externally
Built for internal reference, client reporting, and comp substantiation
Every closed deal becomes a permanent, searchable record in your firm's database
Filter, export, and report on your comp history by sector, geography, date, or deal size

The bottom line: If your brokerage is managing comps in a spreadsheet, Compstash is the structured upgrade. Your existing data migrates in, and the workflow your team already knows carries over.

Spreadsheets

Flexible, familiar, and already in use at most brokerages. Spreadsheets work well at low volumes, but they were not designed to function as a shared, multi-user comp database at scale.

No enforced data structure: field names and formats drift as different brokers add records
Generating a client-ready report requires manual formatting every time
Simultaneous editing creates version conflicts in shared files
No map visualization, no branded output, no permission controls
Data portability risk: files can be downloaded and taken by any user with access
Scales poorly beyond a few hundred records without significant maintenance overhead

Compstash

Everything brokerages use spreadsheets for, rebuilt as a purpose-built comp management system. Familiar enough to adopt without retraining, powerful enough to replace the workarounds.

Standardized comp entry enforced across every broker on the team
1-click branded reports exported as Excel or PDF, no manual formatting required
Single live database: no version conflicts, always current for every user
Map pins, bulk upload, and export controls built in from day one
Admin-controlled permissions determine who can view, edit, or export records
Existing spreadsheet data imports in minutes via bulk upload

The bottom line: If your brokerage is managing comps in a spreadsheet, Compstash is the structured upgrade. Your existing data migrates in, and the workflow your team already knows carries over.
