It never ceases to amaze me that many real estate brokers who have the absolute best methods in the world to network in the most inexpensive way possible, are hesitant in many cases to subscribe to this and other services despite the many sales that are reported being proof positive there are real people who do deals in commercial real estate.

It is not enough to display the hundreds of deals that member brokers are reporting at the rate of 1-2 per day and we are confident that every member will be successful.  It is just a matter of when . . . not if.

It is not enough to explain the the exposure throughout the marketplace and the world to tens of thousands of unique viewers, over a quarter of a million hits per month from over 70 countries of the world.

We should understand many have been so busy just making a living they have not taken the time to learn how to implement the Internet in their marketing plans. 

For that reason we provide the very teaching that they need to lead the way in this information explosion.

Do people just not have the time? ICIWorld with one hour of training is only a matter of minutes once per month to reach the world. From being in real estate for over thirty years I see the benefits for every broker. 

Many broker members are not great proponents of the service.  One who had just collected three cheques from three sales stated he does not tell others about the service because he has a major competitive advantage.  Would you tell someone about a gold mine if you just discovered it?  

Others many not join because they do not take the Internet seriously as a method of finding out the qualified buyers and sellers in the marketplace in the world today.

Today people are overwhelmed with information.  Everyone is suffering from information overload.  One is already pulled in different directions for advertising and everything else it takes to run a successful office.

How can one know which is the right service and what is wrong?

I believe it takes some sound rationalization AND a leap of faith. 

Two brokers recently joined but not after thinking long and hard, is it worth it?  Their final comment was "oh well, if it does not work, we can simply not renew next year and we are out of pocket."

I smiled when they said this because our renewal rate is 85%-90%.  Why?

Talk to the brokers who have made money and they will tell you why. 

Two days after these two brokers joined one of them had a Dentist who was looking for 1,400 sq.ft. of office space to lease.  Within two days a local developer of office space called and a showing was lined up.

Yes it works that fast in many cases.

It is the most advanced system in terms of not only collecting the information, but delivering information throughout the marketplace . . . fast.

There is nothing like it in the world.

Now lets take new areas where we do not have a representative.  Many brokers have paid $25,000 to buy a real estate franchise for international exposure.  Today you can get international exposure that is only $319 for the first year on ICIWorld.  This is incredible!

I suggest that the more important question is, "is there readership?"  If you view our statistics you will see the readership.  It is higher than virtually almost every other commercial real estate web site on earth.  It is sustained.  In other words it has unique visitors visitors every month and the number continues to rise.  Individual home pages can not hope to achieve this kind of traffic.

If you do not have 50-100 listings and more coming in per day you will not have the repeat visitors.  It is this new information that is the lifeblood of this service that attracts more and more people.  Look at our statistics and you will see the growth.

Many brokers do not feel comfortable placing information if they are the first in their area.  THIS IS ACTUALLY THE BEST.  Why?  Because in a sense they have an exclusive in that area for a period of time.  When people search for a broker in that area . . . you will be the one they contact.  It is that simple.

FREE SITES COST MONEY!!!  There are a lot of services in the world today.  The free ones in our opinion cost brokers a lot of money, more than they have ever thought about.  Why?  Because time is money.  The time spent wasted with no return . . . costs money.  We publish our statistics to show the traffic.  You can be on a beautiful looking site but . . . very little traffic . . . no deals.  It is contacts with people that will lead to doing deals through your service to the public.  ICIWorld specializes in commercial real estate only.  Our stats are not clouded by residential stats and other things.  It is a lot of people interested in various aspects of commercial real estate.

VESTED INTEREST!  What this means is that many services permit principals to advertise directly to the public.  This essentially cuts the broker out of the transaction.  It does not even give him/her a chance to provide the services, protections and safe guards that all registered, licensed real estate people are empowered to provide. 

It does not even give a broker a chance to provide value added services that more than pay for themselves in their commissions. 

Many a principal has gotten into serious financial situations, fraud, burglaries and exposed their family to the public when acting on their own.  Brokers qualify things and help with a buyers and sellers thinking.  They don't last two seconds in the business if they are fraudulent.  They provide the service for phone calls and qualify the tire kickers and curiosity seekers from the qualified buyers and sellers. 

Brokers provide the assistance to overcome objections.  Some buyers will not overcome objections on their own and will not share them with a seller out of embarrassment.  Brokers handle this with ease.

Brokers overcome skepticism and uncover areas of dissatisfaction with buyers and sellers.  This helps to guide these people into solutions that work.  They do not get lost along the way of a transaction.

The real estate brokerage industry is a world wide industry that has many options for advertising. Many brokers are actually helping to build services that undermine the very integrity of our business.

Most real estate boards protect the integrity of our business and the information in it.

ICIWorld also protects the integrity of our business and the information in it. 

Sometimes there is no choice such as a local newspaper.  But the Internet provides choices.  Why support a service that does not even give a chance for brokers to serve?    There are choices on the Internet!

A newspaper has a big overhead and requires expensive line rates to help support the service.  One ad with a photo can be quite expensive and it is in one day and out the other.  It is rough when you have to pay the ad and did not receive any calls.   ICIWorld provides color photos and advertising for all Haves and Wants all year long to a market of over 400,000,000 people for the price of one ad.  Brokers agree with me, we are crazy not to be using this service.   And with training to use the internet to market real estate you say?

Open and exclusive listings typically are never worked in a newspaper.  Why should a broker spend several hundred dollars trying to work a Have or Want when the buyer or seller does not want to provide an exclusive listing so the broker can be assured of making an income to pay the bills that were incurred trying to market the have or want of the owner in the first place.  It just does not happen. 

Yet on the Internet, what is the cost once you have a membership? 

This means you can work all the open and exclusive listing opportunities in your marketplace for the first time!  If one answer today is how to make more money and spend less then this is the answer.  All the opportunities in your marketplace that are open and exclusive type situations to sell, can become your inventory on the Internet.  ICIWorld handles this type of information, absolutely the best in a professional manner in the world today. 

The success rate is staggering.  It is not being accomplished on any other service in the world to my knowledge.  This is a very specialized industry in the first place.  If you do not know what you are doing you will get burned.  We teach a working model that works.  If you have a license in real estate . . . you will benefit from this training.  We have helped brokers make over a quarter of a million dollars very quickly after this training. 

Real Estate Brokers and Salespeople are best positioned in the industry to provide the collection and dissemination of Haves and Wants in the industry better than any other way. 

They require a service that protects the integrity of the business in the very same spirit as real estate boards have served the industry which includes the brokers AND the public. 

There really is no other advertising type, what I call "the electronic equivalent of classified ads in a newspaper" service in the world that does it all.

It is absolutely inevitable that all people dealing in commercial real estate in the world will appreciate ICIWorld and all that it stands for.  It was built for them to serve their clients and prospects in the best way possible in the world today.

There has been a rise and fall of many Internet type listing services over the years that I have seen and heard about.

This service was designed from the beginning to be the best and most inexpensive.

The graphical design you will see change.  The features and services you will see change.  But our commitment to the industry has not wavered.  You will see the service continue to grow because it is in the best interests of the industry in the world to make it grow. Our use of moderators in every area of the world is the latest in plans to grow this service world wide.

There have been many world type listing services that I have seen come and go since 1990.  They are the fallen comrades in the business who had a great concept before their time, or overly financed and unfortunately projections that were unrealistic.    Yet they provided good and real services but became top heavy in overhead and expenses.  The market projections were just not there.

However along the way they have helped to bring attention to this real estate industry on the Internet and that is good. It takes training and education to work the Internet.  You can simplify it to a point and then you just miss success.  It is like riding a boat across a river and you get half way and lose the paddle and get swept downstream.  The paddle is education and training.  The paddle is finding the strongest assistance and services for the commercial real estate industry to help. 

There are distinct differences in this service from any other service on the Internet for commercial real estate.  When I have the opportunity to speak personally with people, I can explain and handle questions and in so doing demonstrate things effectively.  The Internet still has limitations!  I can not see the body language nor handle slight inflections of skepticisms and handle them accordingly.  And there are things we like to reserve for speaking one on one that are of a competitive nature.

So we invite you to learn the most advanced way to network commercial real estate "have and want information" in the business today. 

Call today to chat about this or any other question you might have or send us an email and we will call you.
