Franco Palermo, Salesperson, CAPITAL NORTH COMMERCIAL REALTY, BROKERAGE just informed me of two industrial buildings he sold this last year, one for $2,500,000 and one for $1,800,000 and that he now has an offer on another one at the moment.

Mujibul used the training we teach at ICIWorld to talk with business and real estate owners. He talked with a dentist and asked the three special questions we teach, and the dentist said yes. The dentist said, “Bring me a client, and I will sign a listing.” This is precisely what Mujibul did, and he made a commission. He now has excellent knowledge of dental clinics. He has some clinics now coming for sale. He also has experience selling a print shop and a Greek restaurant. He finds assistance support and contacts invaluable from ICIWorld, including he has a client for a retirement home. He just reported he asked a coin laundry owner if they would consider selling. They said yes. He found another buyer, and it is sold, closing shortly.

Happy and Satisfied Customers

She started by searching Database 2 on ICIWorld and found someone who wanted to sell a church. She placed the information into Database 1 on ICIWorld. Someone called her about a month later. She showed the property to the buyer and they made an offer and purchased the property.  Approximately $2.4M in happy and satisfied customers and revenue for Dorin and now she has other buyers looking for more churches!

Baljit Gill, Broker, Century 21 Skylark Real Estate; Brokerage placed a shopping centre for $2,000,000 on ICIWorld. He received over 30 calls one from a principal that called him who saw it on ICIWorld.

Ted has done a one million dollar deal AND fifteen referrals!  Within 30 days of joining ICIWorld, he advertised a commercial property.  He received calls and one particular person who he developed a business relationship with, although not interested in the property he had advertised, Ted showed him another one that was on MLS and he sold it. A million-dollar type property, in a small town, all within 30 days of joining ICIWorld and at 8% commission.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Harry Mathur, CA, Century 21 Peoples’s Choice Realty Inc. just informed me he sold a $12,000,000 hotel within two weeks of joining and is working on another one.

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!

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. Now that is the power of a team effort of the Internet, ICIWorld, technology, real estate information services, training, education, experience, connections, and professionalism of Alina and members of ICIWorld.

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.

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

Just wanted to let you know, I sold the $3 million plaza last week through exposure by ICI World. You’re right, it works!! Regards, John Grogan, Associate Broker, Royal LePage RCR Realty.

Guy Scheiner,

Robert Mueller, Sales Representative, Trius Realty Inc. had a restaurant banquet center for sale for two years.  In the third year, he placed it on ICIWorld for the first time.  He had about ten enquiries over about 11 months and one from a principal to who he sold it.  $1,200,000 sale double end.

A HomeLife real estate agent advertised in a trade publication and received a call from someone who wanted to buy a gas station.

Sutton West Realty Inc.

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.

Irene Delorraine, Sales Representative with Engel & Volkers Brokerage was ecstatic to report selling a retirement home recently. She also has sold a medical building and has another buyer coming from overseas to look for more. She says ICIWorld is her absolute best investment in marketing so far in real estate ever.

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.

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.

John now specializes in tax planning for real estate owners from $10M-$250M with large capital gain issues.

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.

Within two weeks, he had a call and sold it. Job well done!

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.

$750,000 Sale of an apartment building in Toronto. Habib Quadri, (Deceased) Sutton Group placed it on ICIWorld and a gentleman from Kuwait, Middle East, responded and came and looked at the property and bought it.

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,
