About CIEs
What is a Commercial Information Exchange?
In general terms, a Commercial Information Exchange (CIE) for commercial real estate is similar to a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for residential real estate. CIEs help people exchange commercial real estate information - including properties, listings, transactions, and contacts.
Brokers, owners, investors, tenants, and others use CIEs to find properties, learn about the market, connect with people, market listings, and do business.
Catylist CIEs
Our goal is to help people sell and lease commercial real estate efficiently. We partner with REALTOR® associations and media companies to build marketing-based property exchanges that deliver local focus and national exposure.
Local Focus. National exposure
Commercial IQ (http://www.commercialiq.com) is a national CIE, with members and properties throughout North America and beyond. However, our focus is local. We help communities organize and share information efficiently, market-by-market. This approach allows us to:
- Provide support for aggregating local market data
- Maintain high-quality information
- Adapt to local business culture
- Host training, networking, and marketing events
