"Essential Tool with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

I find CoStar Real Estate Manager easy to understand and appreciate its fast processing. The ability to create custom reports and views really enhances my experience, and it's super easy to export data. The software is essential to my day-to-day activities and helps me avoid payment delinquencies. The initial setup was a breeze thanks to the good tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

Unsubmit - Unapprove charges is a little limited and should have a shortcut in the first page, similar to the approve charges section. I'd prefer it to be a homepage instead of needing to download, modify, and re-upload an Excel file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Platform with Robust Reporting and Minor Improvement Needs"
4/5
What do you like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

I like the fact that there are a multitude of data fields to quickly retrieve info as well as a robust report extract. The integration of data with Power BI and ArcGIS for mapping strategy is also quite beneficial. It serves as a singular platform with multiple uses, which helps in managing the company's real estate portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

I don't know if the function already exists but it would be nice to be able to rename files in the system. The dashboard could be improved with relevant data and better graphics. There was a lot of trial and error getting the rent payments processed the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ASC 842 Compliance, but Accounting 2.0/3.0 UI and Reporting Changes are Ineffective and Inefficient"
3/5
What do you like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

Compliance with ASC842 reporting requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

Overall, the latest Accounting 2.0 and 3.0 enhancements are a disappointment. First, in some cases, the UI is better; however, removing the ability to drill into the details of each accounting event makes review significantly harder. Review process requires a user to display all accounting event columns (data inputs) and exporting to excel to review. This is extremely inefficient!

Second, were no significant dataset / reporting enhancements. Certain reports, for example, account reconciliation and rollforward reports, just don't work correctly.

Third, I like the usage of expense/revenue vs lease option section; however, it's strange that the charges in the lease option section only appear in the accounting events and not within the recurring GL transaction section. Data isn't displayed consistently throughout the lease record, which isn't ideal.

Fourth, (and this very well could be a configuration issue in our solution) changing between Operating and Financing lease classification/schedules within the same lease record somehow messes up our rollforward reporting. This seems odd to be as it's one of the main selling features of the CoStar Real Estate Manager solution.

Finally, (again, this could be a configuration issue in our solution) ERP integrations seem non-existent. The export to SFTP function was removed, but what was the replacement? Manually extracting, manipulating, and uploading datasets is a big let down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Leasing Tool with Custom Reporting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

I find CoStar Real Estate Manager incredibly helpful for Lease Administration since all needed information is easy to get, easy to input, and easy to retrieve if needed. I particularly like the ability to create our own reports, which is very useful given how different each client is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

Sometimes it doesn't work properly when accessed through Google Chrome. Some prompts don't work. We had issues when trying to use Google Chrome, like needing to run exports and the popup window that we have to select the sections to run the export doesn't pop up, just using Edge.

"Centralized Portfolio Management with Powerful Reporting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

What I like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager is its centralized platform for managing lease, property, and portfolio information efficiently. It helps streamline real estate operations by providing accurate tracking of critical dates, lease obligations, and financial data in one place. The reporting and dashboard features also make it easier to gain visibility into portfolio performance and support better decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

One aspect that could be improved in CoStar Real Estate Manager is the user interface, as some features can feel less intuitive for new users and may require additional training to navigate efficiently. Additionally, certain reports and customizations can be time-consuming to configure, and system performance may occasionally slow down when handling large datasets.

I mainly use CoStar Real Estate Manager to centralize our lease data and handle all our real estate accounting in one place. I love how it helps us stop missing important dates and makes tracking our monthly rent super easy. I appreciate how easy it is to find information. I really like how easy it is to create expense lines and visualize all our payments. It keeps everything super organized. The initial setup was simple and straightforward, and the platform is really intuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

The process for unexporting, unsubmiting, and unapproving is way too tedious. It takes too many steps and should be made much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Lease Management, But UI Improvements Needed"
2.5/5
What do you like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

I like that CoStar Real Estate Manager standardizes all leases in a portfolio to make information easier to find. It helps me find information about buildings and which leases are located in them in a very straightforward way by having separate building IDs and information pages from the lease abstracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

CoStar Real Estate Manager could improve on having several tabs open to easily edit subsections of a lease abstract. It's frustrating to edit contacts since both their companies and the contact field in a specific lease abstract need edits. Additionally, having a history of pages visited easily accessible in one of the top menus would be helpful to prevent edits from being made on the wrong lease abstracts.

"Centralizes Lease Management with Room for Improvement"
3.5/5
What do you like best about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

I like that CoStar Real Estate Manager ensures everyone is using the latest information, making it an easier knowledge gaining system. It's great for keeping all lease details and documents centralized, and it helps in extracting and storing critical lease terms. I appreciate that it makes knowledge sharing easier and supports quick decisions. I would recommend it because it's easy to update and error-free with clear instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoStar Real Estate Manager?

I feel there needs to be minor improvement in system speed and ease of navigation, specifically for contacts from separate fields to their locations. Also, being able to take a report for all the buildings and properties in a single sheet without any missed data would enhance efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
