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 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 webiner 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 regards,
Guy Scheiner, BA

Hugh Nichols, Broker, Re/Max North Country Realty Inc. Brokerage has sold two buildings and leased out some retail space. One was a main street building commercial with two apartments as an investment $339,000 and the other was a commercial building with nine residential units and two commercial units also in Gravenhurst. They were both placed on ICIWorld. Hugh received about four calls and two of them purchased. The leased unit 3,200 sq. ft. was for a restaurant and he received one call and they leased it for five years. Whenever Hugh receives calls they tend to be well qualified as prospects.  The Muskoka area that Hugh works is a tourist and a growing senior community. Feel free to contact him anytime.

Commercial Division reports that he had 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 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 property, hotels, motels, and resorts.
MARKET REPORT 4/28/03:  Ian reports the commercial market is very active and he has written over $5,000,000 this year already. One reason he is so active, is because Westjet is flying directly to Comox from Calgary and Edmonton, in only 1 hr. and 15 minutes. It is making a radical difference in the valley.

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.

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.

Sold a 26 unit apartment building for $2,350,000. He placed it on ICIWorld and received about 10 calls in the first week from ICIWorld and 6 calls from his real estate board. One call was from a principal show saw it on ICIWorld and bought it. He says he has tried many other services but this is the best. See Al’s web site and how ICIWorld links work to provide opportunities for Al to serve the public.
He also sold another a 16 suite apartment listed on the service by another member. Good work. Well done.

Asked permission from another broker to advertise a Power of Sale on ICIWorld.  It triggered a lead from a buyer who Shyamal developed a good business relationship with and he sold an investment property to him for $540,000+ and made $15,000.   The buyer who is an investor is now using Shyamal to buy and sell real estate regularly.

David Grossman, MBA, Mortgage Agent, Independent Mortgage Advisors Inc. reports closing a $3M loan on a gas station within one month joining ICIWorld.

Sam Schariefy, Abr., Sres., Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc., Brokerage.  Someone saw an ad on ICIWorld on one of Sams 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 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.

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.

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.

Placed a medical building on ICIWorld last year. It generated leads. He developed a business relationship with one of the buyers and during the following year sold five medical buildings to him for approximately $10,000,000. All started with one simple “Have” message on ICIWorld. Scott not only deals in medical buildings but also self storage and industrial buildings, and more.

Placed an 11 plex apartment on ICIWorld in July. Among the calls he received was from another real estate salesperson from Royal LePage. They sold it in Sept. and it closed in November.
Just under $1,000,000 and another job well done.The introduction was done through ICIWorld and they used the MLS listing for information to draw the offer.

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 uses it regularly. She likes our assistance and support. She deals in exclusive real estate opportunities that are not on real estate boards. She found great agents to work together with as she builds good business relationships in the industry.

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 web-site 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
