Gary I just wanted to tell you that I sold another Motel in Niagara in the last two weeks, “The Surfside Inn” 31 units, Sold for $1,050,000. Sold to a buyer who found the listing on the ICI World web site. You are providing the very best site in the world for commercial real estate. I am honored and proud to be a long established member, your helping hand has been nothing less than spectacular.

Thanks again! John Campisano.

Erwin Stone, Broker, Royal LePage Heartland Realty, reports several deals such as 5 plexes and other residential income producing properties.

Scott Anderson, Broker, Re/Max Real Estate Centre, Brokerage 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.

Shyamal Mahmood Sales Representative, Your Choice Realty Corp. Brokerage 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.

John Gallagher, Associate Broker, Blair Blanchard Stapleton Limited. 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!

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.

Brian Batchelar, Real Estate Sale Representative, RE/MAX Realty Services Inc., Brokerage – has done a few deals

An apartment building $12,500 commission, he was chatting with another real estate agent in his office who wanted an apartment in Windsor. Brian went to ICIWorld pulled off an apartment and gave her the info as a referral. He did not hear anything for 3 months and then got a cheque for 12,500 for doing a referral. It took 2 min. and 30 seconds. That was it!
Another deal he leased some office space in Brampton to a major company on the stock exchange. 3,000sf He had it listed, He got a call direct from prospective tenant. Showed the property and did the deal on the same day. 5 year lease $10,000.
Another was piece of vacant land in Muskoka. He listed it on ICIWorld and it sat for six months, got a call from an agent in Muskoka who arranged to see it and deal was done. Brian never did go to Muskoka. He showed it and sold it, $3,500 commission. He never did go to Muskoka.The apartment and office lease were on MLS and advertised and sold and leased through ICIWorld. Land was exclusive on ICIWorld.

Just renewed. Always learn something new with ICIWorld that benefits me and my clients. Almost all my deals are exclusive. Yes there is a lot of business here that the average real estate salesperson is simply not aware.
