DATABASE 1: Broker-to-the-Public Real Estate Networking
Advertise listings, network opportunities, and make connections worldwide.
DATABASE 1 is information placed by commercial and residential real estate brokers and salespeople.
Members can advertise their real estate board listings, but they can also network real estate opportunities that are
not listed on MLS, where owners have indicated they may wish to sell or buy.What if you cannot get a signed listing yet?
If an owner says, “Bring me a buyer and I will pay you a commission, but I do not want to sign a listing at this time,”
there is a special way to network that opportunity worldwide with ICIWorld.com.The key is to network the opportunity properly and confidentially. Do not disclose identifying details unless you are authorized.
Qualify callers first, then put the proper agreements in place before showing the property or business.Like Real Estate Classified Ads — But Global
ICIWorld is like an electronic equivalent of newspaper real estate classified ads, except it can display your contact information
so buyers, sellers, investors, developers, and brokers can contact you directly.Compared to the cost of a newspaper ad, the exposure can be extremely low-cost — like a tiny fraction of a cent per line per day —
while reaching a global marketplace of people interested in real estate and business opportunities.Does It Work?
See testimonials from members whose transactions started by making connections through real estate
Have and Want information.Some opportunities led to listings, showings, and successful transactions. Some brokers have completed over
30 deals, with transactions reported to $50 million+.ICIWorld allows brokers and salespeople to work opportunities confidentially, professionally, and globally.
We believe all real estate associations in the world should consider offering this type of service to help their members
better serve the public.
Learn:
- how to sort by price.
Learn how to search by:
- business category
- keyword (Also great for business opportunities,)
- business area
- Haves or Wants Select
- Have/Want Age
- Age of listing
The initial display of listings is always less than 90 days old. If your information is older, you can easily miss doing transactions and not realize it.However, under a choice called Have/Want Select, you choose from 30 days to any age. Many commercial brokers value people’s contacts for prospecting and networking purposes.If you do a deal not on ICIWorld but as a result of making contact through ICIWorld we like to take credit for that as a testimonial.
ICIWorld provides a platform for brokers to share confidential opportunities with the public and the real estate profession.
Opportunities trigger leads just like listings trigger leads. Now everyone has more opportunities
We have experience since the 1980s attending CCIM marketing sessions where over $100M worth of opportunities are presented and others such as SEC, with many in a confidential fashion. It was in 1994 that we presented the concept of networking information online, not just advertising listings. In our opinion, MLS handles that the best but not networking. Started independently as iciworld.com first real estate service of any kind on the Internet in 1994, and CIBBS, a commercial real estate bulletin board system to help give brokers a network choice online worldwide, not only in one CCIM meeting at the Toronto Real Estate Board auditorium at a time.
As the manager of ICIWorld since 1994, I appreciate the opportunity to serve every one of you.
I am particularly fond of hearing about the successful transactions each transaction started by broker members making connections with each other and the public worldwide by networking real estate Have and Want information opportunities confidentially in an exclusive manner and sharing them with the world through the ICIWorld global real estate networking and information listing service.
I was also encouraged and inspired by Bill Gates’s book “business @ the speed of thought” To apply it in the real estate industry. And my interpretation of real estate marketing is that I learned from CCIM marketing sessions networking Have and Want opportunities (thoughts).
This is the information age, and we have applied information technology to trading in thoughtful and meaningful opportunities to do business.
Today it is working compatible with the industry and successfully since 1994 to this day going into 2023.
Even though I have been a real estate broker for 48 years, please consider us as a personal marketing and information assistant to you personally.
We specialize in helping brokers and salespeople connect with others’ networking information to do transactions.
The networking of real estate opportunities provides more choices for the public.
Protection for the public is provided because brokers are trained in consumer protection.
Licensing bodies for real estate brokers and salespeople in the various states in the USA and provinces in Canada provide codes of ethics and standards of business conduct.
Real estate companies also provide standards of business practice and oversight of their salespeople.
Real estate companies invest thousands of dollars to provide their salespeople with technology tools to successfully serve their prospects and clients.
Brokers make money by providing their services to the public.
And every trade contributes to the GDP of a nation and the prosperity of its citizens.
This experience from working with brokers for 30 years is working for you.
Everything we do triggers leads for your information so that people contact you.
Don’t be a secret agent; place it on ICIWorld and let your information work 24/7 the moment you know about it, or you can be missing someone seeing it and doing a transaction.
We will help.
One-time setup 60 minutes. Networking information properly, in accordance with, and compatible with all services in the real estate industry.
Learn to use the Key Word search for business opportunities.
See the drop-down list of choices.
You can type your keyword in the Other Text or City field.
Spelling is critical. You only need a few characters to find things sometimes. The fewer characters, the better; four or five characters, i.e., restaurant search resta, hotel and motels search, otel finds both hotels and motels.
Be careful after a search to clear your form.
The initial search will only display listings less than 90 days old.
There is a search field called “Have Want Age.”
You may find it helpful to expand your search further back. Both for the possibility it is still available and the connections you can make to network with others.
There is a saying in real estate; if you have a showing today, you can make money today. Without a showing, you make zero.

Tips To Help You Connect To Do Business
Focus a part of your time on “Wants.”
Brokers have placed buyers’ criteria. They have qualified the buyers, so they are ready, willing and able to buy TODAY, TOMORROW. It can be that fast!
If you know what buyers are looking for, ask an owner of any business in your area, “would they consider selling for the right price?”
When they say “yes,” you have just identified an opportunity to do business.
You could arrange an immediate showing and be doing business today, tomorrow!
If you are a residential agent and do not want to sell a business, do a referral to a commercial broker. If you want to learn how to sell a business and make money, consider splitting your commission with an experienced commercial broker who can help teach you. For example, you need profit and loss statements for the last three to five years, assets and liabilities, and inventory estimates, all from the owner and owner’s accountant.
If you can’t get the owner to pay you a commission, get the buyer to pay you.
One free question to an owner today and you have a built in showing today to do business.
Always put a listing agreement in place first before showing of course.
Fastest connections for your next potential real estate transaction.
Almost thirty years building an information service that is the fastest in the world.

Older listings are used for prospecting and networking purposes.
A buyer for medical buildings placed a Want in 2015. A broker contacted him in 2022 with a medical building. He purchased two since then and was still looking for more.
You do not have to look at older listings if you do not want to. The initial display of listings is set to 90 days old.
However a study revealed that 50% of transactions were conducted with brokers making connections and networking with older messages.
For instance,
- we do not delete old listings. Some have critiqued this and do not know the networking going on. But we will not prevent all the others from contacting the people behind the older listings, networking with them and then doing deals. It is simply prospecting. Older listings help you identify people dealing in a particular area or for certain properties with whom you may be able to do business.
- Another reason, the building is still there. The contact information is still there. The circumstances may have changed. And in some cases, better.
- Can it benefit you to talk with the broker and perhaps find out if the property was sold and for how much?
- Is the property possibly coming back for sale again, or did the original offer fall through?
- Is it possible that because the other broker deals in this property, he/she has another one, not on the service, and if you develop a good business relationship, you can explore other business opportunities, not on the service? But it is ICIWorld that helped you make contact, and we like to take credit for that.
- And if you establish a good business relationship with that broker, perhaps in three weeks, they find an opportunity that suits you, call you back, and you go off and do a transaction. Is that possible? It is all prospecting. It is all networking. That is the power of this service.
- One 19-million-dollar quarry was on here for three years. That broker would never have done that deal if we had deleted that listing.
- MLS has expired listings. We have expired information. MLS has sold listings. We have sold as well.
I have been present and participated in and conducted numerous commercial real estate marketing sessions where in one case, over $200M worth of property was presented in a day. Our monthly sessions allowed brokers to stand up and talk about opportunities in a confidential manner. If you showed interest, you raised your hand; we collected the business cards in the room of people who showed interest and gave those business cards to the person who had the Have or Want opportunity to be followed up after the meeting.
CCIMs, SEC, and many others conduct these kinds of marketing sessions. Salespeople talk about their potential listings and what their buyers are looking for at Monday morning meetings for their companies.
ICIWorld provides an information service for everyone to network and share their opportunities with others.
This provides more opportunities to do business.
We think all brokers should have an information listing service and multiple listing services, providing the best of both worlds.

Learn how to network real estate opportunities not just listings.
If someone says they want to sell their property, “bring me in a buyer, and I will pay you a commission, but I do not want to give you a listing at this time”, that is an opportunity to network that kind of information on ICIWorld to trigger a buyer.To learn how to effectively network that information globally to trigger interest and conduct a sale when you have no listing to start with, take in a Webinar-On-Demand Featured Video.Recorded sessions conducted for real estate boards, associations and companies.How valuable can this seminar be? See the comments of attendees.
This has never been done before. And NAR was not aware we are doing it successfully in the same vein of cooperation as MLS itself.
We think NAR should take over our service and supply it for the world real estate profession.
Experience With Information in the “information age.”
We are finding that 50% of the residential opportunities on ICIWorld are exclusive type information.
Coming for sale opportunities are shared on ICIWorld with YOU. How? If a property is coming for sale in the spring, you can place it on ICIWorld now without the address. When people call, tell them you will put them on a list, and when you get the listings signed, you will call them back, and they can be one of the first people through the property on the first open house.
Brokers share this information on ICIWorld with the real estate profession and the public.
You can network all the FSBOs out there. But ask the owners if they will pay you a commission if you bring them a buyer. Network the opportunity but not the address. Put agreements in place before divulging an address. Get at least verbal permission to network the information but tell them you will not divulge the address.
Lawyers have confidential information. Doctors have confidential information. This is confidential information in our real estate profession. The benefit is more opportunities in one place to serve the public.
And very importantly, with all the loose information on social media, FSBO groups, etc., where the public is dealing directly with the public, there are a lot of problems because licensed real estate brokers and salespeople are not involved in protecting parties to a real estate transaction.
Owners and brokers have a great deal of training, responsibility, follow-up, and management to ensure trades are conducted safely and adequately to benefit the public.
So it is a benefit to have all the real estate brokers and salespeople in the world place all the opportunities not on MLS but on the ICIWorld information listing service, which leads to proper listings and sales.
DATABASE 2 FSBO AREA (For Sale By Owner) is commercial and residential real estate. Have and Want information placed by the public for free.

There are now over 40,000 real estate contacts to do business with connections for sales to $50M+.
$25M portfolios have been sold, a four plex in High Park, 17,000 acres in Peru, $13M medical buildings sold. I am amazed at the connections being made by members in Database 2.

ICIWorld was the first information service of its kind in the world on the Internet in 1994.
Experience With Information in the “information age.”
From my unique experience operating the ICIWorld service for over 30 years, I share some of the experiences members relate to me.
A 25 million dollar portfolio of properties was sold due to Database 2 FSBO Area. Another sale a member called a doctor who placed a Want for a medical building several years ago. He was not only still looking for more medical buildings but had purchased two since he placed the Want on ICIWorld in this Database 2. Another member did business with a buyer who placed a Want for an income property. He showed him his listing, which did not suit the buyer. Found one on MLS that did suit the buyer and sold it. So you see how ICIWorld can work hand in hand with MLS.
We call it prospecting to look at older listings in Database 1 or Database 2 FSBO Area. If you do not want to see listings, Haves and Wants older than three months or 90 days old, don’t look at them. Everything on the service is dated. However, we will keep the older listings for the following reasons.
- members report doing business on the older listings.
- the buildings are still there.
- although the circumstances have changed, the contact person may still be available for networking purposes.
- if a building was sold, could it be of value to learn how much it sold for?
- is it possible the building could be coming back for sale?
- if you develop a good relationship with the contact person, is it possible they know about other opportunities not on the service you may be able to do business with?
- if you develop a good business relationship, is it possible that person may have precisely what you are looking for three weeks from now and call you back and do business?
- in one respect, it is like a gold mine. However, much like mining for gold, you must dig through some dirt to get to the gold, but the gold is there. Over time and with future development, we hope to add comments on the listings so that if the phone numbers are dead and contact cannot be made, we can say so or remove the listing. But the price of our service is kept low. To do all these things takes a great deal of money, time and effort, and we have our hands full as it is trying to design systems that keep the price down. ICIWorld is built without advertising popping up in your face on purpose. Is it worth paying .83 cents per day for this? These brokers think so. They are serious about doing business. All have families to support. They are not about wasting your time.
One survey found that 50% of the transactions were done with listings older than 90 days.
However, we only display listings initially in Database 1 that is less than 90 days old. Change the Have Want Age field if you want to talk with brokers on listings older than 90 days old and then search. This is particularly helpful when searching for business opportunities or harder-to-find properties.
Wants are almost always looking even past 90 days old.
There is a responsibility upon the real estate brokers and salespeople in this real estate profession to keep their listings, Haves and Wants up to date to serve the public. We recommend updating listings, Haves and Wants every 31 to 60 days, but in no case let them go longer than 90 days old, or they do not get displayed to the worldwide audience when they search initially.
Everyone is still learning how to use the database. But we find everyone is getting better and better at it over time. That is why we are hearing more stories of sales occurring very quickly.
It has taken 30 years to get to this point where if you have a business for sale, for instance, you can search the Wants, and contact the broker who placed that Want because they have a qualified buyer, ready, willing and able to look at your business, within a concise time, hours to a few days. It can be that fast!

1. Why Confidential Networking Matters More Than Ever
The real estate industry is changing. Buyers, sellers, investors, developers, and business owners are often looking for opportunities that are not yet on MLS® or may never be placed on MLS® for legitimate confidential reasons.
ICIWorld gives brokers and salespeople a professional way to network listings, Haves, Wants, referrals, and exclusive opportunities worldwide.
2. What Is ICIWorld?
ICIWorld is a Global Information Listing Service for Industrial, Commercial, Investment real estate, land, farms, businesses, residential opportunities, Haves, Wants, and confidential real estate information.
It is designed to help licensed real estate brokers and salespeople network information, trigger leads, create referrals, and make connections to do business.
3. Why MLS® Alone Is Not Enough
MLS® is excellent for signed listings. But many real estate opportunities begin before a signed listing exists.
Sometimes an owner says, “Bring me a buyer and I will pay a commission.” Sometimes confidentiality is important. Sometimes a buyer, seller, investor, or business owner needs to be matched before a listing agreement is signed.
MLS® markets signed listings. ICIWorld helps network information that can lead to listings, referrals, showings, and sales.
4. Why Every Salesperson Is a Matchmaker
Real estate salespeople are not just advertisers of listings. They are matchmakers between buyers and sellers, owners and investors, businesses and locations, developers and land, and opportunities and capital.
ICIWorld gives you another way to use your real estate license by networking information that may not fit MLS®.
Get the other half of your real estate license working. Network information.

The conversations that often become tomorrow’s listings.
Since 1994
For over 30 years ICIWorld has helped licensed real estate brokers and salespeople connect opportunities worldwide.
Many members report that their best transactions started with a simple piece of information—a Have, a Want, or one conversation.
Today those reported transactions total over $1 Billion.
Your Next Commission May Already Exist
The question is simple.
Can people find your information?
If not…
someone else may be connecting with your next buyer today.
Join ICIWorld for as little as $30 per month and start networking your information worldwide.
“Someone could be searching today for exactly what you have… If your information isn’t on ICIWorld, they’ll never find it.”
If you ask Chat GPT where to search for commercial real estate, this is one response.
If you are looking for commercial real estate, the best places to search depend on whether you want properties publicly listed for sale/lease or opportunities that may not yet be on MLS®.
For the broadest search, I would use a combination of ICIWorld®, commercial listing platforms, local MLS/board systems through a broker, and direct broker networking.
- ICIWorld® Commercial Real Estate Search — Search commercial Haves and Wants, including opportunities being marketed and information that may not be on MLS®. This is especially useful for connecting with brokers and salespeople who have properties, buyers, sellers, tenants, investors, and other opportunities.
- Realtor.ca — Canadian public listings, including many commercial properties.
- LoopNet — Major U.S. commercial property marketplace.
- CREXi — U.S. commercial properties for sale and lease.
- Local commercial real estate brokers — Important because experienced brokers often know about properties, owners and buyers before an opportunity is widely advertised.
- Your local MLS®/commercial board system — A licensed broker or salesperson can search listings that may not appear in the same way on public websites.
The important distinction is: don’t search only for properties. Search for people and Wants as well. A buyer looking for a $5-million industrial building, for example, may find an owner through a broker’s Have before that property ever reaches a conventional public listing site.

Chapter Membership — What We Do & How We Deliver Value Why Join & Why Renew — Every Service that Drives Transactions
Short summary: membership is structured to pay for itself (initial $30 intro special, no contract, convert anytime to the intro special 240 for 15 months = ~$16/month. Members get a VIP discount card; the savings easily offset the membership fee. Subscription includes a powerful set of services that generate leads, provide listing exposure, offer training, and provide ongoing transaction support. Below is a clear listing of services, a recommended IDX approach, staffing & budget, and an implementation roadmap you can use immediately.
What Members Receive — Services Delivered Daily
- VIP membership card with discounted services — often offsets the cost of membership many times over. Makes the service free.
- Brokers will want to join the CCIM Chapter to get their Haves and Wants onto the CCIM Chapter Website IDX Link of Haves and Wants.
- IDX listing exposure on the CCIM chapter site — public visibility to attract buyers & brokers and network with other members of the chapter.
- Separate CCIM IDX link for CCIM designees (curated, premium exposure)
- Daily website content updates (listings, Haves and Wants, featured properties)
- Daily social media design & distribution (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram)
- Daily global email marketing (Haves & Wants delivered to the industry, special list services for the chapter)
- Includes links for marketing purposes to help sell the location of a property to economic development agencies — “Why locate here” property marketing
- 24/7 monitoring of listings
- Member training programs, webinars, and monthly online networking sessions
- Customer support by appointment using Zoom and on-call assistance for technical and listing emergencies
- Professional media services: video editing, intros/outros, banners, booth presentations.
- Secure dedicated servers, backups, security software, and system administration
- Mobile-first support: iOS, Android, Mac, Windows compatibility and troubleshooting
- Knowledgeable staff in CCIM, NAR/CREA compliance, RECO/OREA rules
IDX Link — Recommendation & Options
Goal: maximize member value and attract new members by making the chapter website the IDX of Haves and Wants a lead magnet.
- Primary recommendation: Publish the chapter IDX publicly on the chapter website, but only include listings from chapter members. This creates a strong incentive to join while allowing brokers and investors to search publicly to find member listings.
- CCIM IDX link: Keep the CCIM-specific IDX link separate. Make the CCIM IDX publicly visible for CCIM Haves and Wants to provide broad exposure; keep it restricted to CCIM privileges.
- Security options: public, indexable pages (best for SEO & lead gen) or gated pages requiring login (best for privacy & member exclusivity). Recommended: public listing pages + “contact member to view more” gating for lead capture on premium content.
- Compliance & controls: ensure you have listing owner consent if you plan to identify a property for sale, comply with MLS licensing rules, and add a sitemap/robots file correctly to control crawl behaviour.
- Confidentiality is achieved by not identifying a property by address or identifiable markers. Put an agreement in place before showing a property to ensure you have something in writing to protect your revenue potential.
Membership Pricing & Value
- Trial join: $30 (introductory)
- Intro 1st year membership: $240 for 15 months (effective $16/month)
- VIP card discounts typically cover much more than these costs — quick ROI for active brokers\
- Annual membership is $480. There is a 50% discount if the member refers one other real estate broker or salesperson to join.
Messaging angle: “Your membership often pays for itself in one transaction.” See testimonials..
Staffing, Budget & Rationale
You already listed required roles. A realistic operations budget (annual) to run this at scale:
Role Annual Director / Manager $100,000 Senior Developer / System Architect $75,000 Front-end / WordPress Developer $60,000 Content & Social Manager $55,000 Customer Support & Admin $40,000 Conference & Promotions Coordinator $45,000 Overhead (hosting, servers, tools, printers, travel) $100,000 Total (illustrative) $475,000 / year Adjust staffing vs. outsourcing to reduce fixed cost. For example, outsource heavy dev work and video editing initially, hire full-time director + content person + support.
How to Accomplish This — 90-Day Roadmap
Phase 1 (0–30 days)
- Finalize membership benefit list and VIP card partners
- Make chapter IDX public with member-only listing filter
- Set up analytics & membership conversion tracking (Google Analytics + event tracking)
- Publish membership landing page + pricing and clear CTA
Phase 2 (30–60 days)
- Launch email automation for new-signup nurture and renewal reminders
- Start daily content & social schedule (templates + editorial calendar)
- Begin training webinar series; capture recordings for on-demand
Phase 3 (60–90 days & ongoing)
- Optimize IDX SEO, lead capture overlays, and partner outreach to economic dev agencies
- Monthly networking events, quarterly paid acquisition campaigns, and VIP discount reporting
- Continuous monitoring of listing accuracy and member follow-up for retention
Technical & Legal Considerations (must-haves)
- SSL everywhere, routine backups, disaster recovery plan
- IDX licensing agreements and MLS data permissions in writing
- Privacy policy, data processing addendum (GDPR/CCPA considerations), and consent for email marketing
- Role-based admin access, logging, and security patching
Will I Run This for $100,000/year?
I can’t take on full-time employment through this chat — but I can help immediately as a consultant to:
- Draft the membership landing page and email funnels
- Create the IDX policy text and implementation checklist
- Provide templates for social posts, training outlines, and QA checklists
- Advise on hiring vs. outsourcing and vendor selection
If you are looking to hire a Director for $100k performance-based: structure compensation with a base, profit share, and KPIs (new members, retention rate, revenue growth). I can help draft that job description and KPI plan.
Next Steps & Quick Wins
- Publish chapter IDX publicly with member-only listings visible — live within 7–10 days (quick win).
- Create a “Membership ROI” page with 3 real member case studies showing revenue generated from listings/discounts.
- Automate renewal reminders: email sequence at 90/60/30/7 days pre-expiry with one-click renew link.
- Run a 30-day social campaign: “List with us — be found” + VIP discount spotlight.
Metrics to watch: new member signups, conversion from $30 trial to annual, renewal rate at 12 months, listing count increase, web traffic to IDX pages, and leads generated per listing.
If you want, I will produce the membership landing-page HTML (complete with sign-up CTA, features, ROI bullets, and IDX policy) and a short email nurture sequence you can paste into your email tool — tell me which you want first and any specific language or legal wording that must appear.

A Message to Real Estate Leaders Worldwide
From Gary Nusca, CCIM, CIPS, Realtor®, Broker, Founder of ICIWorld
Inviting Countries, Real Estate Boards, Associations, MLS Organizations, Brokerages, Commercial Groups and Industry Leaders to Explore Global Real Estate Networking.
One Transaction Can Change Everything
One real estate transaction can lead to the development of housing, commercial projects, industrial facilities, infrastructure, businesses, jobs, and economic growth.
Every successful transaction contributes to the prosperity of families, communities, companies, and nations.
But transactions do not happen by themselves.
Real estate brokers and salespeople help make them happen.
They are trained professionals who gather information, create connections, protect consumers, and guide transactions from concept to completion.
A Global Opportunity
Since 1994, I have had the privilege of managing ICIWorld, a Global Real Estate Networking Service created for real estate brokers and salespeople.
One of the lessons learned over the years is simple:
Just because an opportunity is not listed on a real estate board or MLS® does not mean it does not exist.
Many opportunities begin as information before they ever become listings.
Buyers exist.
Sellers exist.
Investors exist.
Development opportunities exist.
Business opportunities exist.
The challenge is creating the connections.
The Power of Organized Information Sharing
The real estate industry has always been built on cooperation.
The concept behind real estate boards and MLS® systems began more than a century ago:
“You help me sell my listing and I will help you sell yours.”
ICIWorld extends that same concept by allowing brokers and salespeople to network real estate opportunities, buyer requirements, seller requirements, investment opportunities, and confidential information in an organized and professional manner.
Members even share opportunities through their own websites using ICIWorld technology.
Respecting the Real Estate Professional
At the center of every successful transaction is the broker or salesperson.
Their training, experience, relationships, market knowledge, and consumer protection responsibilities create value for society.
Many opportunities require confidentiality.
Without proper protection of information, professionals can be bypassed and the value they bring to the transaction can be lost.
ICIWorld was designed to respect and protect the role of the real estate professional while helping them create more opportunities for buyers and sellers.
Economic Benefits
- Creates jobs.
- Stimulates investment.
- Generates construction activity.
- Supports housing development.
- Contributes to national GDP.
- Improves market efficiency.
- Helps buyers and sellers connect.
- Encourages professional representation and consumer protection.
For Countries Without MLS® Systems
Some countries and regions do not yet have organized real estate board listing services.
ICIWorld can provide a starting point for organized real estate networking and cooperation.
Over time, this can help demonstrate the benefits of information sharing, cooperation, and professional networking within the real estate industry.
It can even contribute to the future development of local real estate boards, associations, and MLS® systems.
The Future
The Internet now connects billions of people.
The challenge is not finding information.
The challenge is organizing information in a way that creates trust, cooperation, consumer protection, and successful transactions.
The more we learn, the more we discover how much opportunity still exists.
Invitation to Industry Leaders
We invite real estate boards, associations, brokerages, MLS organizations, governments, and industry leaders to explore how global real estate networking can contribute to economic growth and consumer service.

Why ICIWorld Is Different
ICIWorld is not a replacement for MLS® or real estate board services.
It is a powerful complement to them.
Real estate board systems are designed for listed properties. ICIWorld helps brokers and salespeople network opportunities, buyer requirements, seller requirements, investment opportunities, confidential situations, and real estate information that may never appear on MLS®.
Both systems together provide a stronger service for buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, tenants, and business owners.
What Can Be Networked?
- Buyer Wants
- Seller Opportunities
- Commercial Properties
- Industrial Properties
- Investment Properties
- Development Land
- Businesses For Sale
- Joint Venture Opportunities
- Confidential Opportunities
- Referrals Worldwide
Many opportunities begin as information long before they become listings.
The Power of Information
Many owners are willing to sell but are not ready to sign a listing agreement.
“Bring me a buyer and I will pay a commission, but I do not want a listing at this time.”
These opportunities require professional handling, confidentiality, compliance knowledge, and proper follow-up.
This is one of the areas where ICIWorld training helps brokers and salespeople create opportunities that otherwise may never reach the marketplace.
Training and Compliance
Networking opportunities properly can be learned.
The techniques taught through ICIWorld originated from commercial real estate networking methods including CCIM and SEC marketing sessions and have been refined since 1994.
- How to network Haves and Wants.
- How to protect confidential information.
- How to comply with licensing requirements.
- How to convert information into leads.
- How to generate referrals.
- How to create additional commission opportunities.
Proof Through Testimonials
The testimonials demonstrate how networking information can trigger connections that lead to transactions.
- Thousands of dollars in referral fees.
- Tens of thousands of dollars in commissions.
- Hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions.
- Transactions exceeding $50 Million.
- Members reporting over $1 Billion in combined transactions.
