I would make it much more personal, visionary, and invite participation. Right now it reads like an error message. Instead, use the page as an opportunity to tell your story and ask for ideas.
This Page Is Under Construction — Your Ideas Are Welcome
Since 1994, I have devoted my career to building ICIWorld into a worldwide networking service for real estate brokers and salespeople.
Every day, beginning as early as 6:00 AM, our team works with members and new members one-on-one, helping them learn how to network information, generate leads, create referrals, and uncover opportunities that often never make it to MLS®.
On any given day we may be:
• Training members by Zoom
• Assisting with postings and listings
• Helping members solve login and technical issues
• Producing educational videos and webinars
• Managing social media and marketing campaigns
• Supporting brokers and salespeople worldwide
• Maintaining servers and databases that operate 24 hours a day
Like a doctor’s office filled with appointments, our days are dedicated to helping members succeed.
This page is currently being developed because I believe there is still a tremendous opportunity ahead.
After more than 32 years of operation and over $1 Billion in transactions reported by members from connections made through networking information, I continue to ask an important question:
How do we bring this concept to the world faster?
I am genuinely interested in hearing your thoughts.
How would you grow a worldwide Information Listing Service (ILS) that helps real estate professionals connect buyers, sellers, investors, developers, and opportunities before they become listings?
Should services like this be adopted by:
• Real estate companies?
• Real estate boards and associations?
• Commercial real estate organizations?
• International networks?
• Franchise systems?
• Independent brokerages?
What would you do?
Your suggestions, comments, and constructive criticism are welcome.
Perhaps the next great idea that helps ICIWorld expand worldwide will come from someone visiting this page today.
Thank you for taking the time to visit.

If you only want a heading and short introduction:
🚧 Page Under Construction – Help Us Build the Future of Real Estate Networking
Since 1994, ICIWorld has been helping real estate brokers and salespeople network information, generate referrals, and create opportunities that often never reach MLS®. This page is currently being developed as we explore how to expand this concept worldwide. We welcome your ideas, suggestions, and feedback. How would you grow a global Information Listing Service (ILS) that has helped members report over $1 Billion in transactions? Your thoughts may help shape the next chapter of ICIWorld.
Always looking for feedback and suggestions.
Yes. For a Themeify blog page, I would not make the discount card the main focus. The discount card is the proof that the membership can pay for itself, but the real value proposition is:
“Making money from opportunities that never make it to MLS.”
See transactions you could be starting and doing just by asking the right questions, and one approach that we teach.
The VIP Corporate Discount Card should be positioned as a bonus that can offset the membership fee.
I would structure the page like this:

How Can a Real Estate Service Be Virtually Free While Helping Members Generate Over $1 Billion in Transactions?
Subheading
Since 1994, ICIWorld has helped real estate brokers and salespeople network for information, connect buyers and sellers, generate referrals, and create opportunities that often go unseen by MLS®.
Four ways all memberships become free. while giving every member opportunities to earn tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and yes, some over $1 million. It is really quite fantastic when you think about it. A short one to two-hour learning curve is common for most members. All conducted by appointment. Make yours now. As long as you have a real estate licence anywhere in the world, all members agree there are concepts, ideas, features and benefits that greatly exceed the price of admission, which, of course, can be free. Unbelievable, check it out. It has taken us 32 years to develop it all from the ground up. One major database for all brokers and salespeople worldwide. You put message ads on it, just like real estate classifieds in a newspaper or on Kijiji, except the service is broker-centric in serving the public. More information comes out of the woodwork that brokers know about, enabling matchmaking unlike any other service in the world, since brokers can host it on their own websites. Every broker and salesperson worldwide can make referrals from leads generated by their website using the global IDX links we supply. Every broker and salesperson can choose to work with any prospect generated by the IDX links from their website. And we show you how to distinguish yourself daily by displaying to prospects and clients, the contacts of buyers and sellers you have of information not on MLS®. Our members are brokers and salesperson members of NAR and CREA as well. This has a great benefit of REALTORS protecting the public because they are trained in consumer protection.

Are You Using 100% of Your Real Estate Licence?
Most REALTORS® use MLS every day.
But what about the opportunities that are not yet listings?
- Buyers looking today
- Sellers considering selling
- Investors seeking opportunities
- Business owners wanting confidentiality
- Owners saying, “Bring me a buyer and I’ll pay a commission.”
This is where ICIWorld fills the gap.
Accordion #1
The Other 50% of Your Real Estate Licence
Most salespeople focus on listings already on MLS.
ICIWorld teaches you how to:
✔ Network Wants (buyers)
✔ Network Haves (opportunities)
✔ Generate referrals
✔ Find exclusive opportunities
✔ Connect with buyers before competitors do
✔ Build relationships that lead to listings
Many members tell us this creates opportunities they would never have found otherwise.
Accordion #2
Why Over $1 Billion in Transactions Happened
Transactions do not start with listings.
They start with information.
A conversation.
A buyer.
A seller.
A need.
A problem.
A connection.
ICIWorld was designed to help real estate professionals network that information in a confidential and professional manner.
Many opportunities begin as:
“I may sell if you find a buyer.”
or
“I am looking for a property but haven’t found one.”
Those conversations often become:
- Listings
- Showings
- Referrals
- Sales
- Long-term client relationships
Members have reported over $1 Billion in transactions resulting from these connections.
Accordion #3
How Membership Can Cost Less Than You Think
The real reason members join is to generate business.
However, many members also take advantage of the ICIWorld VIP Corporate Discount Card.
Benefits may include savings on:
- Travel
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Entertainment
- Retail purchases
- Everyday expenses
For many members, the savings can exceed the cost of membership.
The result:
Your discounts can offset your membership fee while your networking opportunities create the potential for commissions.
Accordion #4
One Referral Can Change Everything
Consider this:
Annual membership renewal:
$480 per year
One residential referral:
$3,000 to $15,000+
One commercial referral:
Potentially much more.
One transaction generated through networking can produce a return many times greater than the membership cost.
That is why many members view ICIWorld as an investment rather than an expense.
Accordion #5
Why We Call It an Information Listing Service (ILS)
MLS is designed for listed properties.
ICIWorld is designed for information.
Information becomes opportunities.
Opportunities become listings.
Listings become showings.
Showings become sales.
This is why we refer to ICIWorld as an:
Information Listing Service (ILS)
Working alongside MLS® rather than competing with it.
