PROPERTY MARKET RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Track listing changes with clear sources and respect for site rules.

For a legitimate market-research purpose, collect a limited set of public commercial property listing details and organize them in a restricted spreadsheet. First check the source site’s terms, robots and rate limits, and any applicable rights; do not bypass access controls or collect personal information unnecessarily. Listing facts can be incomplete or outdated, so retain source links and collection dates, validate examples, and have a researcher review conclusions before using them for investment or client decisions.
