Commercial Real Estate Listing Distribution Platform Grows in Multiples

February 21, 2018

LDCRE is a free commercial real estate listing distribution platform that allows
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.

LDCRE continues to grow its listings on a daily basis with 2,000+ new/updated listings flowing into its platform on a daily basis.

Let’s Talk About Why Your Listing isn’t seeing any Traction…

May 10, 2016

The listing is solid, but the traction is light, sound familiar? Obviously, the main reason brokers post listings are to sell, or lease properties. Sometimes the listing side does not think about the buying side when they post a listing for lease or for sale. People want all the major specs on the offering before they look into it. If you are leaving out most of the specs (Price, Cap Rate, Location, a Picture), or have “Contact us for more information” posted, you are going to see interest drop of, as people tend to assume the worse and/or that it’s over priced.

What’s the Deal with LDCRE’s Free Commercial Real Estate Listing & Search Platform?

September 01, 2015

We’ve all used paid listing/ search platforms for CRE in the past. Some of us have paid to list and/or paid to search, while others used the free platform that allow for viewing of all the ugly duckling assets that have been shopped for 60 days that no one wants to buy.

This has been the system ever since Black’s Guide closed their doors. Do you remember Black’s Guide? It may seem like a million years ago, but Black’s Guide closed their doors on July 9, 2010. At one point almost every person in commercial real estate had at least one Black’s Guide asset/ broker directory on the corner of their desk.

The fall of Black’s Guide, was much more than just a company closing its doors; it showed that the CRE industry was ready to embrace technology (to some degree). The fall of Black’s Guide can be attributed to a handful of CRE listing platforms Continue reading What’s the Deal with LDCRE’s Free Commercial Real Estate Listing & Search Platform?
