Commercial Information Exchanges

We empower commercial real estate communities.

A successful Commercial Information Exchange (CIE) creates a connected commercial real estate community in a local market. It's a platform that enables members (brokers, developers, appraisers, investors, etc.) to share data and take advantage of the resulting efficiencies. It removes barriers, allowing big companies and small companies alike to focus their time and money on serving their clients.

Catylist is the #1 provider of CIE software, serving REALTOR® associations in over 30 local and regional markets throughout the United States — more than any other provider. There are three things that put us head-and-shoulders above other providers: our unique Model, leading Technology, and exceptional Customer Service.

Our Model: Organizing communities.

We provide you with the best software and all the expertise you need to create a successful community. We partner with you every step of the way, from the initial launch and transition, to training sessions, ongoing strategy sessions, and marketing campaigns. We want to see your CIE succeed as much as you do, and we'll use our decade of experience to help you create a valuable benefit for your existing members and a great reason for new members to join.

Use our software to build, organize, verify, share, and analyze the commercial information in your market — never relinquish control or ownership. You are in full control of your CIE, choosing: who joins your CIE, how much functionality is exposed, how your data is shared. You can export your data whenever you want — it belongs to you.

Our Technology: The anatomy of a true CIE.

We've spent a decade refining our software based on feedback from our thousands of clients. The result is the most functional and easy-to-use CIE platform on the market, reflecting our deep understanding of both technology and commercial real estate. Our CIEs balance five main components:

• A Comprehensive Research Database — We work with you to accumulate, verify, and organize a large amount of commercial real estate data, including: active property listings, sale/lease transactions, property records for each building in the market, demographics, etc. We can then use that data to generate useful market statistics and trends.
• A Powerful Marketing Engine — Save your members from repeated data entry – allow them to build amazing listing presentations (both online and in print), then distribute them for exposure to a wide network of industry websites, search engines, and even their own company websites. We've integrated everything your members need to market their properties, from broadcast email tools and custom web/print design services to personalized lead generation and IDX.
• A Social Networking Platform — Your members will have full access to a number of communication tools, including email lists and a detailed, customizable membership directory.
• A Web Presence for your Association — We design a website for your association, then allow you to use our content management system to post news, events, member/leadership lists, etc. Your CIE will be a professional, search-engine-optimized hub for commercial real estate in your market.
• A Commercial Property Search Engine — Your members will have access to the most advanced search engine in the industry, allowing them to search property by any number of criteria in real time. We also work to attract the public (investors, developers, etc.) to the search engine in order to drive leads to your members.

Our Customer Service: We listen and help.

Customer happiness is our #1 priority. We understand that Real Estate is a service-oriented business, and we're dedicated to providing you amazing service, not just great products.

Our staff is experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and always just a toll-free phone call, email, or instant message away. Your members will also have access to free online training sessions Monday – Thursday of each week, user manuals and a wealth of online help documentation. We've spent a decade refining the product based on client suggestions, and value feedback above all else.

On a higher level, your dedicated CIE account representative will work with you to provide guidance on growing your CIE. From additional training sessions, office visits, and ongoing marketing, we're with you every step of the way.
