Establishing the New Norm for Marketing CRE Listings

November 13, 2018

Marketing commercial real estate listings in the U.S. through third-party platforms first began with Black’s Guide in 1976, a catalog containing CRE listings in major metropolitan markets. LoopNet and Costar are credited for bringing CRE listings online.

Over the years a few CRE listing platforms have come and gone, but online listing platforms have remained fragmented and adverse to cooperation with each other.

This resulted in a tremendous amount of time wasted. Continue reading Establishing the New Norm for Marketing CRE Listings

Commercial Real Estate Portfolio Management Software has finally been made simple. After making a name for themselves with their residential analyzer software, the seasoned team at STRATAFOLIO have created a CRE Portfolio Management Software that communicates with other software, eliminating double data entry and mitigating the errors that come along with it.

We’re all familiar with the adage you can’t manage what you can’t measure. Although most people would agree with this statement, many companies jump through hoops putting measuring into practice. A vast majority of companies are not able to accomplish this even if they wanted to. If this is you, you are not alone. Measuring and monitoring for many commercial real estate organizations that manage real estate are complicated. An Altus report stated that nearly 78% of organizations worldwide use multiple software systems that don’t communicate with each other.

brokerage firms to connect their listing inventory directly to LDCRE.com through an API (Application Program Interface). Once the connection is set up all new listings and listing edits flow from the broker/brokerage firm to LDCRE on auto-pilot without any further work by the broker/brokerage firm.

LDCRE set out to not only be a free CRE listing platform, but to be a CRE Listing Distribution Platform with the largest distribution network of news websites where LDCRE powers the CRE listings. In the beginning of 2017 LDCRE was distributing CRE listings to 3 news websites in NYC, Chicago, and Scottsdale. By the close of 2017 LDCRE grew its distribution publisher network from 3 to 500 (Domestic and International news websites). “Our team has worked very hard growing our network for a couple years; it was not an overnight success by any means. A few key elements that aided us in rapidly growing our publisher network were growing LDCRE’s commercial real estate listing inventory from 20 markets to 9,000 markets throughout 32 countries, LDCRE has grown its total for sale CRE assets to $150 Billion, through the many great relationships our team has developed over the years,” said Brendan Hotchkiss CEO of LDCRE.
