A group of commercial Realtors has formed the Commercial Property Exchange of North Florida Inc. and is looking for more members among commercial real estate professionals, appraisers, property developers, and lenders.
"We have contracted with Catylist to prepare the data base and web presence as they have done in over 30 other major markets in the U.S. as part of the national commercial real estate Commercial Information Exchange," said Pete Gentry, one of the organizers.
A Commercial Information Exchange (CIE) is like a Multiple Listing Service specifically designed for Commercial Real Estate, said Gentry, adding "It's an online database of all the information and tools a commercial real estate pro needs to be successful.
"A CIE enables a local community of brokers, developers, appraisers, and investors to share information and work together more efficiently. It removes barriers, allowing big companies and small companies alike to focus their time and money on serving their clients."
