What is a Real Estate IDX?<\/h4>Information Data Exchange<\/h2>
The ICIWorld IDX is an information data exchange between our two databases and Member Subscriber websites.\u00a0 The real estate information is streamed onto their websites for them to market themselves with, generate leads, and do referrals.<\/p><\/li>
How do I get started?<\/h4>75% of Commercial, 50% of Residential, exclusive to ICIWorld.com<\/h2>
You will purchase an Real Estate IDX license from ICIWorld.com and then install the 'links' under an 'Exclusives' main menu heading.\u00a0 Getting started takes only a few minutes and the real estate information is available instantly on your website once the installation is complete.<\/p><\/li>
Who installs the Real Estate IDX?<\/h4>Real Estate IDX Link Installation<\/h2>
We work with most of the top real estate website providers.\u00a0 Many of those companies will do the installation for you.\u00a0 If you have a web designer you can order the IDX Installation package and forward that to them.\u00a0 Our tech support department will do the installation for a small fee.<\/p><\/li>
Do you provide support?<\/h4>
We offer complete one-on-one support to all member subscribers over the internet using an online meeting room.\u00a0 We encourage you to make an appointment when you need assistance.<\/p><\/li>
Why do you have so many websites?<\/h4>Billboards on the information highway<\/h2>
We consider websites to be like a billboard on the information highway, also known as the internet.\u00a0 We make every effort to reach as deeply as we can into the real estate market to better serve our member subscribers.<\/p><\/li>
Where do you get the real estate information from?<\/h4>Added, one listing at a time<\/h2>
Every day, from all over the world, network users add their real estate haves, wants, and coming soon to the database.\u00a0 We maintain two databases.\u00a0 Database One is reserved for our Member Subscriber real estate information.\u00a0 Database Two receives real estate information from the Public, who may also be real estate professionals but are not Member Subscribers.<\/p><\/li>
Who can subscribe to the IDX?<\/h4>
Only licensed real estate brokers and salespeople may join and place information in databases 2. Database 2 is receiving over a quarter of a million hits per month with major distribution throughout the world.
Principals may join only where we do not have a licensed real estate member broker or salesperson in the area.<\/p><\/li>
Can Principals Join?<\/h4>
Yes but only where we do not have a licenced real estate broker member in an area and then guaranteed for one term only.\u00a0 On renewal, if there is a licenced real estate broker in your area, then we ask you to work your haves and wants through that office.\u00a0<\/p>
Private (FSBO) Database\u00a0<\/h2>
If you have a great amount of information to work with, there is a Private (FSBO) Developer Membership that permits unlimited Haves and Wants and these are emailed to the licenced real estate members of ICIWorld.com.ca within the hour of being placed.\u00a0 This is helpful for instance for developers who have great amounts of space for lease and wish to market this space themselves but who cooperate with the organized real estate industry.<\/p><\/li>

What does ICI Real Estate stand for?<\/h4>
It stands for Industrial, Commercial, and Investment Real Estate. \u00a0Our service, though, also includes land, farms, businesses, financing, and more.<\/p><\/li>
What's the difference between my real estate board and ICIWorld.com?<\/h4>Our Vision<\/h2>
It has always been envisioned by our team that there will always be a need for real estate boards and real estate board-type listing services and for a world-type real estate board-type listing service.\u00a0 However, we also know there is a lot more information that can be worked in the industry that can make people money than can be placed on real estate boards and typical Internet Listing Services.<\/p>
Marketplace Gaps<\/h2>
Some say 90% of apartment buildings in any area of the world are not on Real Estate Boards or typical Internet Listing Services which require certain written agreements to be in place.\u00a0 The same can be true for shopping centers, office buildings, businesses, and much more.\u00a0 You will find them on ICIWorld.com.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because we have designed a service that fills the gap in the marketplace for commercial real estate information, not just listings.\u00a0 Yes, most of our members place their real estate board-type listings on the service, but it gets rather exciting when information can be worked.\u00a0 You will not find an $80,000,000 hotel complex on a real estate board.\u00a0 You can find it on ICIWorld.com.\u00a0 Information can be handled with the utmost discretion and confidentiality.\u00a0 It is up to the broker.<\/p>
Coming for Sale<\/h2>
Every buyer that is in the marketplace should have their Wants placed.\u00a0 An owner who is \"thinking of selling\" can call the broker and see if that person might look at his\/her property. These are the kinds of calls brokers in the past are not used to getting.<\/p>
A broker or salesperson who is getting a listing can post a message \"coming for sale.\"\u00a0 You can say that their name will go on a list and when you get the listing signed you will call them to show it. The responses can be used mentioned in your listing presentation to help you get the listing!<\/p>
All the private for sale by owner properties in your area can be placed on the service.\u00a0 However we suggest you have at the very least, verbal agreements, perhaps confirmed in writing that they agree to pay a commission, will cover your showing with an exclusive agreement, and agree to let you place their property on ICIWorld.com but without an address.\u00a0 That way it remains confidential until you have a qualified buyer.\u00a0 At that point, you would contact the owner and put an agreement in place for showing the property.<\/p><\/li>
I don't want to place the address. Can I do that?<\/h4>
Yes. \u00a0In fact, we recommend you do it that way to prevent people from doing directly to the owner. \u00a0Many owners prefer it that way too. This way a broker can qualify people before introducing them to the property. \u00a0Unlike a real estate board-type listing service, where there is enough information to draw an offer, ICIWorld.com's goal is to help the member brokers trigger calls. \u00a0It is more like an electronic equivalent of classified ads.<\/p><\/li>
I am on another major service that's free. Why do I need ICIWorld.com?<\/h4>You need to ask yourself several questions.<\/h2> - Is it compatible with how I do business?\u00a0 Do they allow principals to advertise directly to the public?\u00a0 You may be helping to build and support a service that essentially will cut you out in the end.<\/li>
- This service was built by brokers, for brokers to serve their clients.\u00a0 It was not started as an advertising service. Do its goals serve you completely?<\/li>
- Does it handle information, not just listings?\u00a0 There have always been real estate boards and free internet listing-type services much the same as a real estate board.<\/li>
- Is your information available to the public free when placed where it gets the highest exposure?<\/li>
- Do they have a track record of sales?\u00a0 ICIWorld.com publishes its members who have done deals.<\/li>
- Do they publish their stats?\u00a0 Do they show you the hits, and the traffic on their site?\u00a0 Many sites look great but are they producing results?<\/li>
- Do they have as their mandate to grow the service if they run into hard times?<\/li> <\/ul>
Serving the real estate industry since 1994<\/h2>
Is the company over-financed?\u00a0 ICIWorld.com has no debt.\u00a0 It was built that way on purpose because we have seen many companies come and go with millions of dollars in financing only to see this debt weigh them down. Their overhead gets so high they can not maintain their original level of service.\u00a0 The advertising either dries up or lowers and their expectations are not being met. They have no alternative but to close their doors.<\/p>
Is the company built on financing numbers that work today or are projected for the future?\u00a0 You are seeing a lot of dot.com companies in trouble and reducing work staff and overheads.\u00a0 They were not built on sound fundamentals.\u00a0 Our company is lean and built to serve.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3054"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3062,"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3054\/revisions\/3062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iciworld.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ffolder&post=3054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
