Hi Gary,
I would like to thank you for all your help and support. I recently sold (conditionally) an Apt building around the $13,000,000 and I located the buyer through ICI World.Although I advertised in the Globe & Mail and in the the Commercial Investor in addition to listing the property on the MLS, most of my solid leads came from ICI World.I contacted professionals via ICI World and they responded immediately. Thanks again for your support and I would like to book a webiner next week to better understand how to fully utilize ICI’s website.Also, you mentioned that CCIM will have designation courses in Toronto, can you please send me information in that regards,
Best wishes,
Guy Scheiner, BA

A Century 21 Sales Rep. placed a campground on the service and had it on for six months and received over 40 calls. One purchaser was not interested after seeing the property, but the sales person showed another property which he subsequently sold within one week of that buyer contacting him off ICIWorld. $17,000 commission.
He also had a farm advertised, received over 40 calls, he showed the farm about 10 times. One person who was not interested in this farm, the salesperson showed another farm that he subsequently sold. $20,000 commission.

A Century 21 Broker listed an office building exclusively for $1,650,000. Within 2-3 weeks of placing it on ICIWorld he received about 20 calls. He ended up selling it to a principal who had seen it on ICIWorld. Total commission was approximately $45,000. Some of these other buyers he is now working with.

He has had about six deals resulting from connections both directly and indirectly as a result of ICIWorld. He has sold a restaurant business, a triplex, he has leased half an office building over 6,500 sq. ft., for example and several more.

He says it is the easiest and most efficient method for both brokers and potential clients to find suitable investments for their clients. It certainly complements what is on his real estate board and fits together working side by side with his real estate board.

Jerry Haddad, Sales Representative, Cityscape Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage reports many transactions over the years. In this last year alone he has sold four shopping centres each one from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000.

Brokerage reports selling a property in Wasaga Beach $300,000. The buyer saw it on ICIWorld, called his own agent who then approached Sam and sold it with Sam. He also sold other properties such as detached homes in the GTA, store plus apartment. He says he gets calls on a regular basis and likes the networking. He also leased an apartment for $2,900 per month in North York.

Shyamal Mahmood Sales Representative, Your Choice Realty Corp. Brokerage asked permission from another broker to advertise a Power of Sale on ICIWorld. It triggered a lead from a buyer who Shyamal developed a good business relationship with and he sold an investment property to him for $540,000+ and made $15,000. The buyer who is an investor is now using Shyamal to buy and sell real estate regularly.

Scott Anderson, Broker, Re/Max Real Estate Centre, Brokerage placed a medical building on ICIWorld last year. It generated leads. He developed a business relationship with one of the buyers and during the following year sold five medical buildings to him for approximately $10,000,000. All started with one simple “Have” message on ICIWorld. Scott not only deals in medical buildings but also self storage and industrial buildings, and more.

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.
