Gennady Venderov, HomeLife/ROMANO Realty Ltd., Brokerage reported two sales this last year. One was a piece of land 1 ac commercial for a retirement home for $1.3M.

Rosemary Barfoot, Sales Representative, Royal LePage Niagara Real Estate Centre has sold several properties as a result of connections through ICIWorld. One of them got a call from a buyer on a 23 unit apartment building that she advertised ICIWorld and she sold it. This was on a message “coming for sale.” This person found out about it even before it hit the market! She also sold a Hobby Farm to a buyer who saw it on ICIWorld. She also sold another income-producing through another Century 21 member broker of ICIWorld. She thinks it is one of the fastest-moving internet exposure sites for commercial and farm listings. She loves the fact she can work on open and MLS listings. The apartment was an exclusive listing but the farm was an MLS listing.

Nader Akhbari, M.Eng., Broker Of Record, Toronto Homes And Buildings Realty Inc.,Brokerage Reports selling a prime corner location on Yonge St., Toronto, with plans for 2 Condo Towers.

John Gallagher, Broker, Cirrius Realty Inc., Brokerage had a nice sale at a previous company,  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! John now specializes in tax planning for real estate owners from $10M-$250M with large capital gain issues.

One developer in Eastern Ontario reports he has done three deals in the past year directly from the Daily Digest EMails that are sent out by ICIWorld with new listings.  He also surprised us by saying that he does not visit the website but receives all his information by EMail from ICIWorld EMail List Servers and acts on information that way. If he sees a Have (property for sale) that he likes in the daily EMail he simply calls the broker or salesperson as there is a contact name and number for every new exclusive or MLS listing that is advertised.

Mark Zik, Coldwell Banker Pinnacle has been a member for four months.  He placed an ad for four plex which was on MLS which he placed on ICIWorld when he joined. He had four showings the following weekend, three from ICIWorld.  He sold it to one of them a week later.  This resulted in good service to both the buyer and the seller and Mark made enough to have a membership in ICIWorld for the next ten years and more.

Judy Kazimer, Sales Representative with Re/Max Commercial Focus Inc. uses ICIWorld exclusively.  She has made $30,000 in the first two months alone this year.

[Six members in Judy’s office recently joined and are placing their information through ICIWorld.]

She has sold restaurants, she has gotten other clients and sold them other businesses and revenue-producing properties. She has built up a large personal network of people through contacts on ICIWorld that has helped her market property internationally.

She highly recommends it to every broker in the world.  It has been the success of her business.

She says there are more people looking for commercial real estate and businesses.  It is clear information, it is worldwide, it is a broad range.

She says there are more people are shopping the net these days and are not privy to real estate boards.  This service serves both purposes, putting out your haves and wants and having people find them without any trouble.  It is simply great exposure.

Adnan Shukur, Sales Representative, Homelife Diamonds Real Estate Brokerage, learned the three particular questions from ICIWorld on how to work exclusive type information. He searched on Google Maps for dry cleaners and found one he called and used the method for networking information from ICIWorld. He got an affirmative answer and was placed on ICIWorld. Within two weeks, he had a call and sold it. Job well done!

Cosmo is happy to report a shopping center sale in Burlington.

Steve can report he had a commission of $500,000 and had a $47M transaction in the GTA, His friend saw the ad on ICIWorld. Called, and gave a referral. Done.  It was a major institutional fund. He said this deal would not have happened if it wasn’t for ICIWorld.

Regarding referrals, Brian Batchelar, Sales Rep. with Re/Max Brampton, received the ICIWorld Digest for his area regularly, which he reviewed daily. An agent in his office was looking for an apartment building. Brian had just seen one in the ICIWorld Digest for his area by another broker on the service. He referred it and made $12,000 for five minutes’ work! And there was another sale of a member of an apartment building.

Editors Note: Triggering leads off your website with the ICIWorld IDX Links triggers leads to referrals.

George Cardona, Broker, Central Commercial Real Estate Limited says he has done about eight deals on ICIWorld. The fastest one was two weeks after he joined he sold an apartment building for $960,000 and it was a double-ender.  Since then he has sold commercial buildings with apartments, stores, restaurant businesses and more. He actually got his buyers right from ICIWorld. He has listed and sold many properties himself.

When you are looking for commercial listings he says ICIWorld is the place to be.

Tony Di Carlo, CCIM, Incompro Ltd. Realtor an independent broker had an older listing on a 20 suite apartment advertised and an engineer called him.  The building happened to have been sold but Tony developed a business relationship with the prospect who was technically inclined.  Tony emailed him a list of apartment buildings and he subsequently bought one. Tony specializes in apartment buildings.

Reports many transactions over the years. In this last year alone he has sold four shopping centres each one from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000.

Manzoor Bhatti, Sales Representative, Re/Max Gold Realty Inc., Brokerage swears by ICIWorld. Some of the properties sold, retirement $2.2M home, daycare $2.9M, free-standing building $1.6M, retail and industrial leases as well.

Craig Bowden, Sales Representative, Mayhew Realty, works with tenants looking for space.  He is what you would call a tenant rep.  One of his clients was a furniture company looking for space.  Craig placed his “Want” for space on ICIWorld.  Another broker called him with 8,000 square feet of vacant space for lease. There was a lot of hard work by both brokers to put in place a ten-year lease. Result?  Leased out space, a new business in town to serve the community, jobs for people, commerce conducted in the spirit of service and free enterprise and of course . . . income earned for a job well done. Many people do not have the time or knowledge to wherewithal to do all this themselves but with two licensed real estate brokers and ICIWorld, they accomplished their goal.

Jonathan Jakubec joined as a principal as we did not have a member broker of ICIWorld in his area when he joined.

He was looking for properties in South America at the time. He found that someone had placed a private FSBO in Database 2 of 17,000 acres in Peru. He bought it!

Sam Schariefy, ABR., SRES., Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc., Brokerage.  Someone saw an ad on ICIWorld on one of Sam’s exclusive listings.  Sam developed a business relationship with them and said that property was not the right property for you. We have other listings and told him about another one. He also invited him to come into the office and had a two-hour meeting. Sam suggested a property. Sam knew about a person who was thinking about selling. He called him and ended up doing a deal $1,100,000. $30,000 commission and a job well done for both parties. They were both very happy.
Sam also has buyers from overseas looking to buy a business and home, and more buyers and sellers.

Ken Karakas, Sales Representative, Executive Realty Brantford Inc., Ken has had several deals generated as a result of contacts through ICIWorld. One was an industrial lease of around 40,000 sq. ft. He listed a 2.5-acre industrial land site and in this case, a person called him because they saw him very active on ICIWorld.  He reports he many calls on properties and is developing business relationships that is leading to other deals.

Arif Siraj, Sales Representative, HomeLife Miracle Realty Ltd., Brokerage listed a piece of land for $1.5M on ICIWorld. It was owned by another Realtor. He had about 10 calls, got a buyer, and sold it. It was the seller-Realtor who said to post it on ICIWorld. Some people are so busy they hire brokers on ICIWorld to post their information and handle the calls to get a qualified buyer. In that sense, Arif provided a good and successful service for the owner Realtor. It was almost like a referral.

David Sohal, Bridgecan Realty Corp.

David placed an industrial property on ICIWorld 3.87 acres.  He received about 12 calls within a few days.  One was from a broker in London Ontario who showed the property and sold it. This is a great example of the power of the industry to cooperate and serve the public well.

Another time David was sitting at home, cruising on the ICI World, did a key word search for power (for power of sales) found one and sold 25 unit power of sale in Niagara Falls $325,000.  With a Re/Max agent.  Sold in 3 days of finding it.  David has sold several shopping centers.

David just reported another sale of a gas station $1.1M with another broker who saw his listing on ICIWorld. He says he gets calls from his real estate board but gets more calls from ICIWorld.

John just informed me of another $4,000,000 hotel he just sold.

Gary, I just wanted to tell you that I sold another Motel in Niagara in the last two weeks, “The Surfside Inn” 31 units, Sold for $1,050,000. Sold to a buyer who found the listing on the ICI World website. You are providing the very best site in the world for commercial real estate. I am honoured and proud to be a long-established member, your helping hand has been nothing less than spectacular.

Thanks again! John Campisano

Guy Scheiner,

Toronto real estate sales representative sells office towers $54,000,000 (triple net leased investment) as a result of connections made through the information placed on ICIWorld.

With due diligence and hard work over 8 months, she made a six-figure income in this one deal.

She has also sold several other smaller properties and businesses as a result of contacts made through ICIWorld.

Ron joined ICIWorld and promptly we set up a website for him. It includes a major residential component as well as commercial real estate listings.  Someone from Great Britain who knew Hamilton did a search on google for some special keywords and found the listing on Ron’s website due to these special keywords. We call it SEO or Search Engine Optimization. He had a relative in Oakville take a look at the property to see that it was as represented by Ron. Sold and the buyer did not leave Europe!  Ron chose ICIWorld as a personal marketing and information assistant.  A very special website was supplied. It contains both residential and commercial listings. Ron’s listings are available on google. Realtors who use technology benefit their prospects and clients. Job well done Ron.

Gurcharan Singh, Broker, Homelife/Miracle Realty Ltd., Brokerage, had a buyer looking for a gas station. He saw one on ICIWorld that was placed by another member and they sold it. Gurcharan has also sold farmland and makes connections regularly to do real estate business. Here is his mobile website. The advantage of Gurcharan’s website is that the public can search three major world networks of listings not just real estate board listings but also exclusive listings, not on real estate boards.

Chris reports selling a few properties. One was a variety store for $899K He did not receive many calls, but when he received one that was the sale. Renewed it regularly sold in fifth month.

He answered an ad that Paul had on ICIWorld on a distribution business and bought it very quickly. He already has another referral from that sale and has had several sales in past years. Paul served his clients and new prospect successfully and can help you as well.  He feels that ICIWorld is the best place to advertise.

Alam Qureshi, Sales Representative, Coldwell Banker, Pinnacle – He placed an ad for a gas station and received many calls. One call was a person who he developed a relationship with and ended up selling the person a home.  This is another good example of how one meets other people to do deals. And the person is still in search of a business through Alam.   Alam has now done this twice. Both are still in search of a business.

This is networking, it is a place of networking. You may or may not sell things directly but you are making money in other ways through the contacts that good networking provides.

Amazing networking tool, that protects clients’ confidential information, while marketing to the masses.
Sold $3,000,000 industrial, my listing, via broker, 30+ showings.
Sold $7,500,000 land, my listing, direct buyer, 30+ calls.

Hi Gary,
I would like to thank you for all your help and support. I recently sold (conditionally) an Apt building around the $13M and I located the buyer through ICIWorld.com. Although I advertised in the Globe & Mail and in 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 webinar 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 regard,

Douglas Rielly, Broker, Empire Real Estate Service Ltd.

Has sold three trailer parks as a result of connections he made through ICIWorld. In each case, he got the buyer right by advertising on the service. They were all exclusive listings, not on a real estate board. They were all over $1,000,000. In his case, he did not get many calls but the calls that he got were serious. They averaged six months to one year to sell. Doug specializes in recreational income property, trailer parks, golf courses, marinas, mobile home parks, etc. He regrets not having gotten involved on the Internet and ICIWorld sooner, because he did not take it serious enough sooner.  Now he is applying technology to his business and is profiting and serving his clients well.

Reports several deals such as 5 plexes and other residential income-producing properties.

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.

Rahim Charania, RN, BScNm, Broker, eXp Realty Brokerage had an exclusive signed listing that was not on M|LS. It was a group home. He placed it on ICIWorld. He had approximately seven calls and sold it.

He showed three of them and made an offer on one and bought it. He made $22,500 and successfully served his buyer and the seller. He says there are lots of business opportunities, it is a great way to advertise, and a lot of businesspeople prefer confidential marketing of their property which ICIWorld does quite nicely.

Happy and Satisfied Customers

$20,000,000 transaction completed. Two ICIWorld Real Estate Salespeople, one found out about a property, called the other who had a Want advertised on ICIWorld. (confidential)

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 website 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

A HomeLife real estate agent advertised in a trade publication and received a call from someone who wanted to buy a gas station. He searched ICIWorld for gas stations, found many, showed one, and sold it. He uses his MLS system and ICIWorld extensively and finds they go hand in hand to network information for buyers and sellers. He has made a lot of great connections and continues to do so.

Paul Kitchen, iic Secura inc. has sold ten properties.  He says he has generated a large network of buyers and sellers.  Some of the things that he has sold have been subdivision property, development projects, lakefront property, and net-leased investments. . He receives calls from all over the world, including Germany, the United States, and Canada.

Anand (“Nand”) Murthy | MBA, CSSM, Statue RE Investments & Solutions just informed me he did two deals this last year as a result of ICIWorld.

Majid Ahmed, HomeLife Miracle Realty Ltd., Brokerage had a buyer. He placed a Want on ICIWorld. He had placed offers on gas stations, and other motels to no avail.  One response was within 90 days of joining ICIWorld from another Royal LePage member of ICIWorld a motel in the Georgian Bay area.  And he earned a handsome income all within six months of joining ICIWorld. He has buyers for other motels and gas stations. 

He has written over $5,000,000. Commercial Division reports that he had a 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 a 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 properties, hotels, motels, and resorts.

Dave a buyer placed a “want” into Database 2 on ICIWorld for a commercial building for investment. Several members called him with buildings. One of them was a Re/Max agent that had a building in Oakville for $550,000. It was for Dave’s Dad who ended up buying it. Dave uses ICIWorld regularly.

Alina placed a shopping center for $4M on ICIWorld and, within two days, had a call from another member of ICIWorld, and they sold it. $200,000 commission split between them.

Bryon Armstrong, Sales Representative, Royal Lepage Your Community R.E. placed a want for development property. He received about 5 calls with the majority of land too small.

However one was good enough and he placed an offer and it sold for $24M cash. It was another broker on the service who saw his want and knew another broker who had some land.

He believes there is even a lot more potential for the industry than is currently being utilized. If it wasn’t for the one broker spotting the want on the service, there would have been no deal. The information helped this transaction. It is impossible to know about everything everywhere and the ideal situation would be to have it on this information service.

Many people prefer the confidentiality of marketing a property and ICIWorld is best suited to accomplish that.

Gurparshad Kundal, a Sales Representative at Sutton Group Realty Experts, Brokerage, attended a seminar hosted by ICIWorld at the office. During the seminar, he acquired valuable knowledge on obtaining listings and, if unable to secure one, discovered an exclusive method for dealing with real estate opportunities. The training focused on using specific questioning techniques to gain the owner’s consent discreetly and posting this information in a confidential manner on ICIWorld’s platform. By following this approach, Gurparshad managed to find a buyer, establish a listing agreement, show the property, and eventually make approximately $40,000 in just 90 days after becoming a member of ICIWorld.

He enthusiastically shared that every real estate broker and salesperson worldwide could replicate this success in their respective markets, regardless of their geographic location. Gurparshad emphasized that he would not have accomplished this transaction without the support of ICIWorld. The platform has positively transformed his life, as he had never attempted this business approach before, having previously focused on residential real estate.
