RCA’s Data
RCA is recognised as having the most accurate and complete transaction and development data available and has created a unique process over the past 20 years that ensures data integrity.
Our database is curated by our highly skilled team of commercial real estate researchers in Sydney, assisted by state-of-the-art technology and advanced data science to ensure quality, consistency, and completeness. Each record is derived from two or more independent reports augmented by our own proprietary research.
An average record has four individual confirming sources. Each record is reviewed by two or more people, a key factor in RCA’s reputation as the most trusted source in the industry.
RCA is not dependent on a single source of data. Instead, we rely on a vast array of resources and a deep network of relationships, including an exclusive agreement with CoreLogic and Cordell.
