I am in a unique position in the world of Real Estate.

I manage an association of real estate brokers and salespeople whose membership serves the industry. Provides more choices for buyers and sellers. Protects buyers and sellers because brokers and salespeople are trained in consumer protection. And, of course contributes to the economy because every sale of real estate and businesses contributes to the GDP. Salespeople are the best-positioned people in the world to identify, collect, and trade in real estate information worldwide because they are trained and have to take regular update courses, or they can lose their licenses.

MLS is a great way to trade in real estate always has been and always will be. However, the networking of information before a signed listing can spark interest, which leads to listings. Some say it is the next significant real estate invention since the MLS itself. According to Wikipedia and NAR, MLS started In the late 1800s, real estate brokers regularly gathered at the offices of their local associations to share information about properties they were trying to sell. They agreed to compensate other brokers who helped sell those properties, and the first MLS was born based on a fundamental principle unique to organized real estate: Help me sell my inventory, and I’ll help you sell yours.

MLS has taken over 100 years to get where it is today.

Our unique Value Point is the instant networking of real estate information that I call an Information Listing Service, ILS.

It is unbelievable the number of critics who are quick to criticize. They have fallen into a trap where they want everything delivered on a silver platter, such as an MLS listing. Networking is what you do before a signed listing or with a signed listing. One always requires the owner’s consent in writing before giving the address of a property for sale to someone or identifying the property. Networking is what you do without the address but knowing the type of property or business and price range in a general geographic area to see if there is some interest and capability. Sparking interest leads to transactions.

We have over 100 pages of testimonials of brokers and networking information. We are putting together transactions with some brokers, not just 1-2-5-10 or 20 deals but up to 30 transactions, and we are still going strong. In my opinion, the majority of the real estate industry worldwide is missing the boat because they simply don’t know that professional networking is at their doorstep. 

We have done one more thing: keep the price down. We work to see what we can do to keep the price at $240 per year. Although the service is priced at $319 per year, if you recommend someone to check us out and they join, your membership is reduced to $240. Started in 1994, and to this day, brokers have the opportunity to keep the price at $240. One difference in the future and to encourage faster growth, we are changing the price to $480 but recommend one person to join, and you can renew at $240. If we hire a promotions team, the price would change. You can see what happens with all the excellent services with Loopnet, COSTAR, Crexi, etc., and you should have them. If you can make good use of them, they are worth it. We support all members taking advantage of all the beautiful services in the industry. Include ICIWorld; we have kept the time factor down when you learn how to use it. It can take as little as seconds to do a search, make connections and make $50,000. Add, modify and delete your messages, networking from time to time. The links for you to provide this service on your website update automatically in real time. It is the initial understanding that can take 1 – 2 hr and the proper placing of information and use of social media that we help you with. 

If you are talking to anyone and they say I wonder if there’s a buyer for my car wash or any business or piece of Real Estate, where else can you post that thought? Where else can you search on your phone and see the list of brokers with buyers of car washes, pharmacies, and every type of business and real estate you can think of? Make a connection, show a property, and do a transaction. It can be that fast! One broker sold an industrial building and said he spent 2 hours in total and made $50,000. One broker asked his dentist if he would consider selling, and he said yes. The broker searched the keyword dential and found a broker working with a buyer, and they sold it within 90 days of the salesperson learning that from us.

If someone says, I want to buy a certain kind of business or real estate in a particular area in a specific price range, where else can you post that thought?

And where else in the world can you see all these thoughts in one place, see them within seconds to a minute, and connect with them? Can these thoughts spark interest in a buyer and a seller getting together?

Well, suppose it’s done professionally by professional real estate brokers and salespeople who understand the requirements of networking information before signing a listing. In that case, it can done very quickly and with beautiful results.

We have been doing this for 30 years with outstanding results, proving that if it can be done in one market, it can be done in every market worldwide, making it truly a world market of real estate opportunities. 

Real estate brokers and salespeople are matchmakers, sparking people’s exploration of the meeting of the minds in real estate between a buyer and seller. 

I have been involved in everything from DOS commands, floppy drives, slow computers, and software to the beginnings of artificial intelligence today.

It’s time for some true Visionary leaders to take the concept of networking information services and augment what every real estate broker and salesperson does daily to help connect buyers and sellers. MLS does it admirably and always will. Now, it is time to add ILS.

 It is unbelievable to network with the Advent of the Internet today. To give you an idea of the reach of our service, here are some of the transactions that have been done.
