The advantage of Gurcharan’s website is that the public can search three major world networks of listings not just real estate board listings but also exclusive listings not on real estate boards.

Hello Gary,Just to inform you that I have done 2 deals recently through ICI! It is, no doubt, the best online site in Canada for real estate – especially commercial. I’ve already sold:
“Bargain Shop” – in an extremely remote and small Northern Ontario area through ICI – another realtor saw my posting and come up with her client’s offer that has now been accepted.
Retirement Home in Niagara Falls – I contacted the owner who posted his ad on ICI – but was not able to sell on its own – the buyer saw it through my web-site and the deal has gone through – that was an example of using ICI and redirecting info through another marketing source.
I also got in touch with numerous investors and realtors through your website and most likely there will be more deals as a direct, or indirect, result of it.
Best Regards,
Leo Hara

Commercial Division reports that he had resort with a golf course for sale on ICIWorld. He had it on for a month or so and had about six calls, one from a realtor in Ontario who had a buyer for a golf course. They worked a referral, and Ian sold the golf course portion and paid a referral fee to the broker on the sale of a $1,250,000 golf course. This also was great service to the public the buyer and the seller.
Ian has received many highly qualified buyers for specific types of property such as golf courses, and other recreational property, hotels, motels, and resorts.
MARKET REPORT 4/28/03: Ian reports the commercial market is very active and he has written over $5,000,000 this year already. One reason he is so active, is because Westjet is flying directly to Comox from Calgary and Edmonton, in only 1 hr. and 15 minutes. It is making a radical difference in the valley.
