Establishing the New Norm for Marketing CRE Listings


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.

Commercial Real Estate Listing Distribution Platform Grows in Multiples

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.
