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.

Franco Palermo, Salesperson, CAPITAL NORTH COMMERCIAL REALTY, BROKERAGE just informed me of two industrial buildings he sold this last year, one for $2,500,000 and one for $1,800,000 and that he just received an offer on another one.

Bruce Cooke, CCIM, Commercial Sales Representative, Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty reports selling a $4,200,000 apartment building and an $800,000 office building. The buyer from Europe saw it on the Internet on ICIWorld and from all the information and the pictures made an offer subject to inspection. He flew over to see it, did his due diligence and bought it. Of course there is a lot of work, correspondence and developing of a good long term business relationship that made it all happen. The ICIWorld connection played a small but vital role in making the connection to benefit everyone.

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

Kuldip Bassi, Broker of Record, Tri-city Professional Realty Inc., Brokerage reports two sales. He advertised a restaurant on ICIWorld and received calls. He showed one buyer another restaurant for $350,000 and sold it. Same for a condo for sale. He received calls and he showed a buyer another condo $160,000 and sold it. More than $10,000 in commissions.

John Gallagher, Associate Broker, Blair Blanchard Stapleton Limited. A large hotel trust had tried numerous methods to sell one of their landmark Toronto hotels without any success for over TWO years. Using our proprietary marketing methods which included Gary’s ICIWorld we were able to get the property under contract within 85 days. Not bad for a $21,500,000 property that was a fixer upper!

Just renewed. Always learn something new with ICIWorld that benefits me and my clients. Almost all my deals are exclusive. Yes there is a lot of business here that the average real estate salesperson is simply not aware.

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.

Jim Straughan, Century 21 First Canadian sold a campground. He had another property advertised, received a call and the property that he called on was not suitable. He found another one that was suitable and sold it. It was around $890,000. Jim’s Haves and Wants. He says ICIWorld is great for referrals and networking.

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
