Before you ask.

Are the reports free?

Yes — every report is complimentary. You share your contact information, we deliver the PDF to your inbox, and there is no cost and no obligation. If a report raises questions about your own property, the phone call is free too.

How current is the data?

Market Pulse reports are produced quarterly, and each release carries its data-as-of date on the cover. Figures are pulled from CoStar at publication and verified against the transactions our brokers are negotiating at the time.

Which markets do you cover?

Core coverage is the Inland Empire — including the Riverside and San Bernardino industrial corridors — and the Coachella Valley, with dedicated briefs for the Beaumont / San Gorgonio Pass corridor and the Hemet–San Jacinto Valley.

Can I request a custom data pull?

Yes. If you need a specific submarket, property type, or comp set, note it in the request form — Robert Mendieta Jr., CCIM can run a tailored CoStar pull and walk you through what it means for your position.
