A PERSONAL INVITATION FROM THE FOUNDER OF ICIWORLD
I Helped These Real Estate Professionals Make Connections.
I Would Welcome the Opportunity to Help You, Too.
Over $1 Billion in Member-Reported Real Estate Transactions
I founded ICIWorld in 1994 to help real estate brokers and salespeople discover opportunities, connect with one another, and do business.
I have personally worked with the professionals featured in our success stories, helping them understand and use the networking service I built.
Their efforts and the connections they made led to successful transactions.
Now I invite you to make a personal Zoom appointment.
Let me show you how the same networking principles can help you uncover opportunities, develop business relationships, and generate possible listings, sales, leases, and referrals.

REAL PEOPLE. REAL CONNECTIONS. REAL BUSINESS.
Individual results vary. Membership and training do not guarantee transactions or earnings.
MLS® Shares Listings.
ICIWorld® ILS Shares Opportunities Worldwide.
Two Complementary Services. One Real Estate Profession. A World of Opportunities.
MLS® enables real estate professionals to share property listings. ICIWorld’s Information Listing Service (ILS) helps brokers and salespeople share Haves and Wants, discover buyers and sellers, and network appropriate confidential opportunities that may not yet be on MLS®.
ICIWorld also gives members an additional way to market their existing MLS® listings, subject to applicable permissions and advertising requirements.
Use MLS®. Use ILS. Use Both!
A PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE NETWORK
The Public Can Share Information Free.
Licensed Real Estate Professionals Make the Connections.
Just as real estate boards and associations provide professional membership and MLS® services, the ICIWorld Association of Real Estate Brokers and Salespeople reserves its association membership for licensed real estate brokers and salespeople.
The public is welcome to search ICIWorld and submit real estate Haves and Wants to Database 2 (FSBO) completely free of charge.
Here Is the Important Difference
Unlike websites designed to connect private buyers and sellers directly, ICIWorld’s FSBO database makes the public advertiser’s contact information available to authorized member brokers and salespeople.
This gives licensed professionals the opportunity to become involved, establish relationships, qualify prospects, obtain appropriate agreements, and help buyers and sellers proceed with professional assistance.
Why Is That Important?
Real estate transactions can involve substantial financial commitments, legal obligations, confidential information and potential fraud risks.
Licensed real estate professionals are trained in areas such as consumer protection, representation, disclosure, agreements and transaction procedures. They can help identify risks, coordinate professional services, and guide buyers and sellers through the process.
ICIWorld believes the real estate profession should be part of the solution, not left out of the opportunities being shared online.
Our Information Listing Service helps brokers and salespeople discover information that may otherwise remain scattered across private conversations, social media, FSBO advertising and individual networks.
Members must handle opportunities responsibly, follow applicable laws and professional rules, respect confidentiality, and obtain necessary permissions and agreements.
More Opportunities for the Profession.
More Access to Professional Assistance for the Public.
CONSUMER PROTECTION & PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITY
Real Estate Information Is Everywhere.
Professional Guidance Is More Important Than Ever.
Every day, valuable real estate information is shared through social media, private conversations, FSBO websites, business owners, investors and personal contacts.
Some of this information may represent excellent opportunities. But buyers and sellers can also encounter incomplete information, misleading advertisements, identity fraud, and complicated legal or financial obligations.
Why Involve a Licensed Real Estate Professional?
Brokers and salespeople are trained to help consumers understand real estate transactions and the responsibilities involved.
Professional assistance can include:
- Verifying identities and investigating important information.
- Qualifying prospective buyers and sellers.
- Explaining representation and consumer protection requirements.
- Protecting confidential information and obtaining appropriate consent.
- Preparing or arranging appropriate agreements and disclosures.
- Negotiating and coordinating with legal, financial and other professionals.
- Helping buyers and sellers navigate transactions responsibly.
ICIWorld believes the real estate profession should be involved in more of the opportunities being shared throughout the world.
A New Opportunity for Brokers and Salespeople
Think about the potential opportunities sitting in conversations and social media posts every day:
- A business owner who might consider selling for the right price.
- An investor looking to purchase a property.
- A private seller looking for potential buyers.
- A residential salesperson who meets an owner of a commercial building.
- A buyer looking for something not currently advertised on MLS®.
Much of this information may never reach the right real estate professional.
ICIWorld helps brokers and salespeople identify, search, and network appropriate Have and Want information, while observing confidentiality, permissions and applicable real estate regulations.
We Teach Members How to Handle Opportunities Properly
Finding a potential opportunity is only the beginning. Members need to know how to qualify prospects, respect confidential information, establish appropriate agreements, and follow brokerage and regulatory requirements.
ICIWorld helps members learn how to network information responsibly, complement their MLS® business, and make connections that may lead to transactions or referrals.
The Opportunity Is Not Just to Share More Information.
It Is to Help More People Through Professional Real Estate Services.
Professional involvement can help manage risks but cannot guarantee transaction outcomes or prevent every instance of fraud.
THE MISSING SIDE OF REAL ESTATE NETWORKING
You Don’t Always Need a Listing to Discover an Opportunity.
Sometimes All You Need Is the Right Question.
One conversation could uncover your next listing, referral or real estate transaction.
Every day, real estate brokers and salespeople speak with business owners, property owners, investors, tenants, friends and professional contacts.
But how many potential opportunities are missed simply because nobody asks the right question?
TRY ASKING A PROPERTY OR BUSINESS OWNER:
“Would you consider selling for the right price?”
Suppose the owner replies:
“Yes, I might consider selling, but I’m not ready to list it.”
That conversation may be the beginning of a valuable real estate opportunity.
What Can You Do Next?
ICIWorld teaches members how to recognize and develop opportunities through responsible professional networking.
1. Discover the Opportunity.
Ask questions, listen and determine whether the owner has a genuine interest in exploring a possible transaction.
2. Obtain Permission and Follow the Rules.
Before sharing information, establish what the owner authorizes, protect confidential details and follow your brokerage’s policies and applicable legal requirements.
3. Network Appropriate Information.
Where permitted, use ICIWorld’s Information Listing Service to make general Have and Want information discoverable to other brokers and salespeople.
4. Find Potential Buyers or Cooperating Brokers.
Search ICIWorld for matching Wants, contact appropriate professionals, and explore potential connections.
5. Proceed Professionally.
When there is genuine interest, establish the necessary agreements, representation arrangements, disclosures and permissions before progressing with the transaction.
Residential Agents: Don’t Overlook Commercial Opportunities!
You do not have to become a commercial real estate specialist to recognize a potential opportunity.
For example, a residential salesperson might discover that a dentist, restaurant owner, investor or commercial property owner would consider selling.
The salesperson may be able to work with an appropriately qualified commercial broker or arrange a referral through the appropriate brokerages, subject to applicable rules and agreements.
Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is ask the question and connect the right people.
Important: Confidential Networking Must Be Done Properly
Not every opportunity is suitable for networking before a signed listing. Members must respect owner instructions, written consent requirements, confidentiality, brokerage policies, TRESA and RECO requirements in Ontario, and applicable MLS® and REALTOR® cooperation rules. Omitting an address does not automatically make an advertisement compliant. ICIWorld helps members understand responsible networking practices.
The Information Is Out There.
ICIWorld Helps You Learn What to Do With It.
ICIWorld has been helping real estate professionals network Haves and Wants since 1994. Members have reported over $1 billion in completed real estate transactions.
A Thought Is Not a Listing — But It Could Become Your Next Real Estate Transaction
Inspired by the principle of Business @ the Speed of Thought, discover how one simple question can uncover an opportunity, how ICIWorld helps brokers and salespeople network that information, and how a thought can potentially become a successful real estate transaction.
A GLOBAL VISION SINCE 1994
Imagine Every Real Estate Broker and Salesperson Connected Through
One Worldwide Information Listing Service.
MLS® Shares Listings.
ICIWorld® ILS Shares Opportunities Worldwide.
For decades, MLS® systems have demonstrated the tremendous value of real estate professionals cooperating and sharing property listings.
But what about the valuable information that is not yet on MLS®?
What about buyers searching for properties, owners who might consider selling, investors with acquisition requirements, tenants seeking space, and other opportunities that may be shared appropriately without publicly identifying a property?
That Is Why We Developed ICIWorld® ILS.
ICIWorld® ILS is a global Information Listing Service designed to help licensed real estate brokers and salespeople search, share and connect appropriate Have and Want information across geographic boundaries while respecting confidentiality, consent and applicable professional rules.
Think About the Possibilities
- A broker in Toronto discovers a buyer searching for an investment property in Florida.
- A residential salesperson discovers a commercial opportunity and connects with an experienced commercial broker.
- An investor in another country searches for a specific type of property.
- A property owner considering selling becomes connected with a properly qualified professional.
- A broker gives an existing MLS® listing additional exposure through ICIWorld, subject to applicable permissions.
Every useful Have and Want added to the network can create another opportunity for someone to make a valuable connection.
Every New Member Makes the Network More Valuable to Other Members.
More participating professionals can mean more information, more potential matches, more referrals and more opportunities to serve buyers and sellers.
Not a Replacement for MLS®. An Additional Professional Networking Service.
When a property has a signed listing agreement and is subject to MLS® submission requirements, those rules must be followed.
ICIWorld® ILS complements MLS® by helping real estate professionals discover and network other appropriate information, including potential opportunities that may not yet be formally listed.
We encourage members to follow applicable laws, brokerage policies, real estate board and association rules, and requirements for confidentiality, consent, representation and advertising.
Use MLS®. Use ICIWorld® ILS. Use Both!
Let ICIWorld Do the Networking for You — Locally and Globally, 24/7.
Your information cannot be discovered through ICIWorld until you share it appropriately. Someone somewhere may already be searching for exactly what you know.
NOW PUT YOUR REAL ESTATE LICENCE TO WORK

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE BEHIND ICIWORLD
What Does the CCIM Designation Represent?
The Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation represents advanced education, experience and professional expertise in commercial investment real estate.
I am Gary Nusca, CCIM, CIPS, a real estate broker since 1974, former CCIM Chapter President and Chairman of the 1999 CCIM International Commercial Real Estate Conference.
How CCIM Helped Inspire ICIWorld
One of the most valuable lessons I learned through CCIM was the importance of real estate brokers sharing their Haves and Wants.
At professional networking sessions, brokers could describe properties available, buyers looking for properties, and opportunities that had not yet reached the marketplace.
I wanted every broker and salesperson to have access to that kind of professional networking — without having to attend the same meeting, in the same city, on the same day.
That vision helped inspire ICIWorld, which began operating on the Internet in 1994. Today, ICIWorld’s Information Listing Service (ILS) helps brokers and salespeople network appropriate Haves and Wants locally and globally, alongside their existing MLS® services.
Why Professional Education Matters
Advanced commercial real estate education can help brokers better understand investments, identify opportunities, serve clients and work with other experienced professionals.
Published industry analyses have also discussed the potential earnings advantages associated with the CCIM designation. Results vary, and no particular income is guaranteed.
Professional Education + Information + Networking = More Opportunities
ICIWorld is an independent networking service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the CCIM Institute.
THE ICIWORLD ADVANTAGE
Unique Benefits You May Not Be Getting From MLS® Alone
ICIWorld’s Information Listing Service (ILS) complements MLS® by helping brokers and salespeople discover, network and market additional real estate information and opportunities.
1. Confidential Networking of Haves and Wants
Discover and appropriately share potential sellers, buyer requirements, commercial and investment opportunities, businesses, properties for sale or lease, and other information that may not be on MLS®.
2. Worldwide Exposure for Your Information
Why limit your Haves and Wants to people you know or meetings you attend? ICIWorld makes appropriate information searchable by potential connections locally, nationally and internationally, 24 hours a day.
3. IDX Links That Put Your Website to Work
Display searchable real estate Haves and Wants through ICIWorld IDX links on your own website. When visitors submit an inquiry, it is directed to you for follow-up, creating possibilities for listings, transactions and referrals.
4. Training, Technology and Personal Assistance
Learn how to uncover opportunities by asking questions, use effective searches, network responsibly, make professional connections, use social media and keep your information working for you.
5. More Referral and Cooperation Opportunities
Residential salespeople can discover potential commercial opportunities and cooperate with qualified commercial brokers. Commercial professionals can also connect with specialists in other markets and property types.

Start Discovering More Real Estate Business Opportunities Today
You may already know potential buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and business owners without realizing how valuable those relationships could become.
ICIWorld helps you turn information into connections — and connections into potential transactions and referrals.
Five Simple Ways to Get Started
1. Ask More Questions
Every conversation could reveal a real estate opportunity.
“Would you consider selling for the right price?”
Also ask whether someone is looking to buy, lease, invest, expand or relocate. Even residential salespeople can uncover commercial referral opportunities.
2. Search ICIWorld for Buyers and Sellers
Search the Haves and Wants already being networked. Look for buyers, properties, businesses and investment opportunities that match your clients’ needs.
3. Network Your Own Haves and Wants
Members can place appropriate real estate information into the ICIWorld database, giving other brokers, salespeople and interested people an opportunity to discover it. Respect confidentiality, owner consent and applicable professional rules.
4. Make Your Own Website Work for You
ICIWorld IDX links can display searchable real estate information on your website. Visitor inquiries through those links are directed to you, creating opportunities for follow-up and cooperation.
5. Participate in Training and Networking
Join professional networking sessions, learn effective searching techniques, improve your Haves and Wants, and make an appointment for personal assistance. You do not have to learn everything on your own.
The Results Demonstrate the Potential
ICIWorld members have reported more than $1 billion in completed real estate transactions resulting from networking connections.
Some members have completed multiple transactions. Their experiences demonstrate what professional networking can accomplish when opportunities are identified and followed up appropriately.

OUR MISSION SINCE 1994
Helping the Entire Real Estate Profession Better Serve the Public
ICIWorld was created to help real estate brokers and salespeople discover, share and network valuable real estate information beyond the limitations of traditional meetings, personal contacts and MLS® listings alone.
Two Complementary Services. One Real Estate Profession.
MLS® provides an established system for marketing listings and facilitating professional cooperation.
ICIWorld ILS provides an additional Information Listing Service for networking Haves, Wants, buyer requirements, potential sellers, referrals, commercial opportunities and additional exposure for MLS® listings.
A Service for Brokers, Salespeople and the Public
Licensed brokers and salespeople can use ICIWorld to make appropriate real estate information discoverable, develop professional relationships and uncover opportunities to serve buyers and sellers.
The public can search ICIWorld and submit Haves and Wants to our free public database. Authorized member brokers and salespeople can access advertiser contact information and explore opportunities to provide professional assistance.
Our goal is to help the public benefit from the knowledge, experience, professional responsibilities and connections of licensed real estate brokers and salespeople.
Why Should Every Real Estate Professional Know About ILS?
Because valuable real estate information exists beyond the listings already on MLS®.
An owner may consider selling. A buyer may be searching. A business may be available. A tenant may need space. Another broker may have exactly the connection you need.
The more appropriately shared information the profession can discover, the more opportunities it has to help the public.
You’re Invited to Experience ICIWorld
New members can explore an introductory membership from $30/month, cancel anytime. We also offer an introductory longer-term membership special.
Use MLS®. Use ILS. Use Both!
ICIWorld networking respects owner consent, confidentiality and applicable professional and REALTOR® cooperation rules.

Building Trust in Real Estate Since 1994
ICIWorld was created by real estate professionals to help brokers and salespeople share information, discover opportunities and better serve the public.
Professional Networking With a Purpose
Real estate brokers and salespeople bring knowledge, experience and professional responsibilities to the real estate marketplace.
ICIWorld helps them put that expertise to work by networking Haves, Wants, potential sellers, buyer requirements, referrals and other opportunities while respecting confidentiality, owner consent and applicable professional rules.
A Worldwide Information Networking Resource
What once required attending professional networking meetings can now be supported by a searchable Internet database, available day and night.
Brokers and salespeople can search and appropriately share information locally and globally. Members can also use ICIWorld IDX links to bring searchable opportunities to their own websites.
Our Commitment to Members
We want members to receive more than access to a database. We provide training, networking opportunities and personal assistance to help them recognize and follow up on potential business.
Our goal is to help you discover opportunities, develop worthwhile business relationships and make better use of your real estate licence.
Your Real Estate Licence Is an Investment. Are You Getting the Return You Deserve?
