ICIWORLD® GLOBAL REAL ESTATE NETWORKING
Our Core Values
What We Believe. What We Stand For. Why We Exist.
Helping real estate brokers and salespeople connect, cooperate and succeed locally and globally since 1994.
Our Guiding Belief
Every real estate broker and salesperson deserves the opportunity to succeed through professional cooperation, meaningful relationships and access to information that might otherwise never be discovered.
Our Mission
To help licensed real estate brokers and salespeople worldwide succeed by connecting people, sharing information responsibly, discovering opportunities and developing professional relationships that lead to referrals, listings and transactions.
Our Vision
One worldwide real estate networking place where brokers and salespeople can discover and share opportunities through an Information Listing Service (ILS) that works alongside MLS®.
MLS® shares listings. ICIWorld® ILS helps share opportunities worldwide.
Our Eight Core Values
1. Cooperation Over Competition
We believe real estate professionals accomplish more by working together. Sharing information, developing relationships and cooperating on transactions creates opportunities that individual brokers and salespeople may never discover alone.
2. Global Connections and Equal Opportunity
We believe licensed real estate brokers and salespeople, regardless of the size of their company or location, should have access to a worldwide professional networking system. Our vision is one global place where opportunities can be discovered and shared.
3. Integrity, Confidentiality and Consumer Protection
We believe trust is the foundation of successful real estate relationships. We respect property owners’ privacy, professional responsibilities, applicable regulations and the importance of obtaining proper authorization before disclosing confidential information.
4. Information Creates Opportunity
We believe a simple question, a buyer’s requirement or an owner’s willingness to consider selling can be the beginning of a valuable business opportunity.
A thought is not a listing, but a thought can lead to a listing, a referral or a transaction. Information can have networking value before a listing agreement exists, provided it is shared appropriately and in accordance with applicable rules.
5. Relationships Before Transactions
We believe lasting professional relationships are among the most valuable assets in real estate. A connection today may produce a referral, a listing, a sale or a trusted business relationship tomorrow. We encourage members to develop relationships even when no immediate transaction is available.
6. Innovation That Serves People
We believe technology should help real estate professionals succeed, not replace their professional judgment, experience or relationships.
ICIWorld’s Information Listing Service is designed to help brokers and salespeople discover and exchange opportunities locally and globally, 24 hours a day. People uncover the opportunities. Technology helps connect them with others who may have matching requirements.
7. Education, Mentorship and Professional Growth
We believe every real estate professional should have the opportunity to learn, improve and make better use of their real estate licence. We encourage members to discover opportunities beyond their usual specialties, develop professional relationships, understand the value of referrals and continuously improve their networking skills.
8. Member Success and Measurable Results
We believe the success of our association should be measured by the success of its members.
Connections made, business relationships developed, referrals generated, listings obtained and transactions completed are the results that matter. Our commitment is to help members put their information to work and achieve meaningful business results.
Our Commitment Is More Than Words
ICIWorld members have reported over $1 billion in real estate transactions through professional networking.
Our goal is not simply to provide technology. It is to help members use that technology to make valuable connections and develop business.
A Personal Message from the Founder
My career in real estate began in 1973, and I became a licensed broker in 1974. Over the years, I discovered that one of the most valuable things we can do in this profession is help people make connections.
My involvement with the CCIM organization helped reinforce the extraordinary value of networking among real estate professionals.
When ICIWorld began on the Internet in 1994, the objective was to create a worldwide system where brokers and salespeople could share information about what they have and what they want, including opportunities that may never appear on MLS®.
Since then, I have personally helped members make connections that contributed to their reported sales of over $1 billion in real estate.
But the principle behind ICIWorld remains very simple:
Help people connect. Help people cooperate. Help people succeed.
I believe every broker and salesperson should have the opportunity to participate in a worldwide professional networking system. That is why we continue building and improving ICIWorld.

Our Pledge to Members
We believe no member should go longer than 90 days without doing business, generating a referral or, at minimum, developing a valuable business relationship.
If that is not happening, we encourage the member to make an appointment and give us the opportunity to help.
