Information Is the Gold on the Internet
Knowing How to Uncover It Is the Real Opportunity
Every day, valuable real estate information exists in conversations, relationships and the minds of property owners, buyers, investors and tenants.
The question is: Do you know how to uncover it?
ICIWorld teaches real estate brokers and salespeople how to discover, develop and responsibly network valuable Have and Want information that can lead to business connections, referrals and potential commissions.
๐ Information Can Become Gold
A property owner may be willing to sell but has not listed the property. An investor may be looking for an acquisition. A business owner may need larger premises. A residential client may own commercial property.
These possibilities may never become known to you unless you ask the right questions.
Information becomes particularly valuable when it helps connect the right people at the right time.
๐ The Real Skill Is Knowing How to Uncover Opportunities
Real estate professionals already meet people every day who may possess valuable information. Many do not realize how much business could begin with a simple conversation.
Consider asking questions such as:
โ Do you own any other real estate that you might consider selling or leasing?
โ Are you looking to buy, sell, invest or relocate?
โ Do you know anyone who may have a commercial or investment real estate requirement?
โ Are there properties or businesses you would consider acquiring if the right opportunity became available?
โ Do you know an owner who might consider an offer even though the property is not currently listed?
Every answer could reveal information worth exploring and, where appropriate, sharing through professional channels.
๐ค Your Information Can Become Someone Else’s Opportunity
ICIWorld is a global Information Listing Service (ILS) built around two simple concepts:
HAVES: Information about properties, businesses and other real estate opportunities that may be available for sale or lease.
WANTS: Information about what buyers, investors and tenants are seeking.
When one person’s Have matches another person’s Want, a valuable connection may become possible.
You do not always need to have a signed listing to recognize and confidentially discuss a potential opportunity, provided the activity complies with applicable legal and professional requirements.
The ICIWorld network makes appropriate information discoverable to other people who may be looking for exactly what you know.
โ๏ธ We Teach You How to Do It Properly
Uncovering opportunities is only part of the process. Knowing how to handle and network information responsibly is equally important.
ICIWorld teaches networking methods with attention to Ontario’s Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2002 (TRESA) and the requirements administered by the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO).
โ Respect confidentiality and privacy.
โ Obtain appropriate permissions and consent.
โ Understand representation and disclosure obligations.
โ Follow applicable advertising and brokerage requirements.
โ Know when written agreements and other documentation are required.
Networking a potential opportunity without identifying a property does not automatically remove legal or professional obligations. Each situation must be handled according to its circumstances.
๐ข Residential and Commercial Brokers Can Both Benefit
A residential salesperson may discover that a client owns a shopping plaza, industrial building, development property or investment portfolio.
A commercial broker may discover that an investor needs residential services or has a requirement in another city or country.
Neither professional needs to personally handle every type of transaction. They can develop relationships with qualified colleagues and explore appropriate referral arrangements.
The information you uncover may be valuable even when the eventual transaction is outside your specialty.
