Exploring your options—and why Biscred might be the best fit for CRE pros who want to work smarter.


If you're in commercial real estate, you already know the power of having the right data at the right time. Whether you're pursuing a new investment, building your sales pipeline, or launching a targeted marketing campaign, quality leads and property intelligence are your fuel.


The good news? There’s no shortage of platforms claiming to deliver just that.


The challenge? Knowing which ones are worth your time and budget.

Here’s a look at the top places to find CRE leads and marketing data in the U.S., from well-known databases to specialized lead providers. And, if you're looking for a platform purpose-built for CRE sales and marketing, we’ll show you how Biscred fits into the mix.


1. Lead Generation Services

If you want leads delivered to your inbox, there are services built just for that.


BuyCRELeads.com and the Real Estate Bees (REB) lead marketplace offer immediate access to CRE buyer, seller, and tenant leads. These lead lists operate on a pay-per-lead basis, meaning that the quantity of the leads purchased will have a direct relation to price. 


These can be great if you want a steady stream of contacts to chase, as they will also provide you with the leads targeted to your business’ geographic area and specialty. 


C-Loans.com specializes in commercial mortgage leads. They have an up-front fee with a small purchase per lead based on the loan amount, loan type, property type, and other useful criteria. Especially useful for lenders and brokers.


⤴️ Biscred’s advantage: Traditional lead sellers tend to focus on quantity, as that’s also how they bill you. Biscred flips that by helping you create highly targeted, filtered lists of leads based on asset class, location, company role, or job title, so you can focus on warm leads, not cold calls.


2. Real Estate Data Providers

These companies specialize in property ownership, transactions, and market-level details.

Think Data Group, BatchService, and TovoData provide massive datasets that can fuel your CRM or marketing systems. In this list, TovoData is the only data provider that provides real estate data specifically. 


Most data platforms operate by giving their users credits to spend to pull data from their site. There’s usually a minimum purchase with TovoData, for example, around $50 for a starter account with 100 credits and 50 free credits to try out their platform. 


These platforms can be powerful, especially if you have data teams in place, but may require more cleanup, enrichment, or integration before they’re sales-ready. Most data providers focus on the quantity rather than filtering with key search terms. 


⤴️ Why Biscred makes this easier: Instead of raw data dumps, Biscred provides enriched, usable contact lists with built-in filters like job seniority, asset experience, and geographic reach. No scrubbing spreadsheets or data analytics required. Learn more about how Biscred approaches data.


3. Listing and Marketing Platforms

These are not traditional lead sellers, but they’re great for research and outreach.

Market Core, formerly known as Catylist is familiar to many people in CRE. It’s a marketing solution designed for a wide range of commercial real estate needs with information about properties, what’s on the market, and who’s behind it. The Market Core platform also comes with a set of marketing and lead tracking tools related to real estate listings. 


Platforms like this won’t have a clear price because the price is set based on your use case, number of active users, and the data that you require. 


Some agents use tools like Market Core to manually build lead lists by researching brokers, owners, or leasing contacts.


⤴️ The Biscred upgrade: Rather than hunting for contacts one by one, Biscred gives you immediate access to over 5.6 million verified CRE professionals, sortable by company type, asset class, and more. It’s like LoopNet + LinkedIn + a CRM, minus the digging.


Choosing the Right Tool for the Job

The right tool will always be the one that’s best for you.


If you need:

  • Market comps or research → Look to CoStar, Yardi, or Moody’s Market core.

  • Mortgage leads → C-Loans.com might fit.

  • Off-market intel → Reonomy or property data providers can help.

  • Hands-free lead flow → Try BuyCRELeads or REB.


If you’re in sales, marketing, or business development, and your job depends on getting in front of the right people, Biscred is built specifically for you.


Here’s why that matters: Most commercial real estate platforms are built for researchers, analysts, or real estate brokers who need comps, market reports, or data about their listings. That’s all useful, but if your role is to generate pipeline, close deals, or nurture leads, you need something different. You need access to key decision-makers at firms that actually buy, lease, manage, or invest in commercial real estate.


Biscred is purpose-built for that. Instead of just giving you building data, it gives you people data. Biscred offers valuable data about property managers, asset managers, developers, REIT executives, and other CRE professionals who actually influence buying decisions. And you’re not stuck digging through outdated records or generic contact lists. You get:

  • Contact information for CRE professionals

  • LinkedIn profiles for outreach personalization

  • Filters for job seniority and role, so you’re not pitching to assistants when you need asset managers and directors

  • CRE specific filters like asset class and company-type, so you’re not targeting someone in industrial when you only work with office or retail


It’s everything a sales or marketing team needs to stop guessing and start targeting.

⤴️ Think of it like this: Biscred doesn’t just help you find leads. It helps you find your leads, people with both the authority and the need for what you offer.
