ICIWORLD GLOBAL REAL ESTATE NETWORKING
Keep Your Haves and Wants Working for You 24/7
Your Information Cannot Generate a Connection If People Cannot Find It!
A few minutes spent updating your information could help you discover your next valuable connection, referral, listing or transaction.
Important: The 90-Day Visibility Rule
When your Haves and Wants become 90 days old, they no longer appear in the initial ICIWorld search results.
People may be searching for exactly what you have or want, but your information could be missing from their initial results.
Older information can still be found using the Any Age search option, but most importantly, you want your current opportunities receiving maximum exposure.
Our Recommendation: Update Every 30 to 60 Days
Do not allow valuable opportunities to become 90 days old. Keep your information accurate, active and available to people searching locally and globally.
Five Reasons to Keep Your Information Current
1. Maximum Search Exposure
Keep your active Haves and Wants in the initial search results where other brokers, salespeople, buyers and sellers can discover them.
2. Additional Email Distribution
Qualifying information modified after 30 days can receive renewed email distribution to the industry, helping more people become aware of your opportunities.
3. More Potential Connections
Someone may have the buyer, property, investor or business opportunity you are looking for. Keeping information current improves the chances of being discovered.
4. More Referral and Transaction Opportunities
One valuable connection can potentially produce a referral fee, a new listing, a business relationship or a completed real estate transaction.
5. Let ICIWorld Network for You 24/7
Once your information is entered and kept current, ICIWorld can help people discover it at any time, even when you are busy doing other things.

Are You Maintaining at Least 15 Haves and Wants?
We recommend that every ICIWorld member maintain a minimum of 15 opportunities to do business.
These may include:
- Properties and businesses available for sale
- Buyer and investor requirements
- Owners who may consider selling for the right price
- Commercial, industrial and investment opportunities
- Land, farms, apartment buildings and development opportunities
- Potential referrals and professional networking opportunities
Remember: An opportunity does not always begin with a signed listing. General, non-identifying information can be used to initiate confidential networking where permitted by applicable rules. Obtain the required consent and agreements before identifying or showing a property.
One Simple Question Could Uncover Your Next Opportunity
“Would you consider selling for the right price?”
A conversation with an owner might uncover an opportunity another member is already looking for. That is the power of sharing information through an Information Listing Service.
Make This a Regular Business Habit
Every 30 days: Review your Haves and Wants and make necessary changes.
Every 30 to 60 days: Keep your active information fresh and current.
At 85 days: Take the automated warning seriously and check your older entries.
Before 90 days: Make sure current opportunities remain visible in the initial search results.
Over $1 Billion in Member-Reported Real Estate Transactions
Since launching on the Internet in 1994, ICIWorld members have reported over $1 billion in real estate transactions through networking.
These success stories demonstrate what can happen when brokers and salespeople share information, discover opportunities and cooperate with one another.
Our Pledge to Members
We do not want any member to go longer than 90 days without doing business, generating a referral or, at minimum, developing a valuable business relationship. If that is happening, make an appointment and give us an opportunity to help.
This is not an idle pledge. It is backed by decades of real estate networking experience and the reported successes of our members.
Not Getting the Results You Expected?
We would welcome the opportunity to review your membership activity, Haves and Wants, subject lines and networking methods. You may be overlooking valuable opportunities.
