Commercial Information Exchanges

Empower your commercial real estate community with Catylist's industry leading research and marketing exchange.

Much more than a Commercial MLS, Catylist's Commercial Information Exchange (CIE) platform is specifically designed to serve the needs of commercial real estate professionals and includes both a comprehensive, easy-to-use property database AND a professionally designed website that serves as the online resource for your real estate community.

Catylist is the #1 provider of REALTOR®-operated CIEs and presently serves over 35 local and regional markets throughout the United States — more than any other provider.

Best of both worlds: Research and Marketing

Whether your community is looking for sophisticated marketing tools or a comprehensive research platform, we have you covered.

All Catylist CIEs include a suite of integrated marketing tools allowing your members to generate amazing listing presentations (both online and in print), then distribute them to a wide network of sites including Google, Lycos, CommercialSource, CIMLS, etc.

Build your Commercial Information Exchange into a powerful research database for your members complete with active listings, off-market properties, sale and lease comparables, tenant data, demographics, etc. Use our experienced research staff (or your own) to load and monitor the database.

"We looked at other available service providers in the market, but it was obvious Catylist offers superior technology on a user-friendly platform. Catylist offers the best CIE service available today...period."
— Barry Spizer, CCIM, Chair of Louisiana Commercial Database

"We reviewed the latest available national CIE options and it is clear the Catylist CIE service is head-and-shoulders above any other available service."
— Martin Kane, CIE Task Force Chair for the RCA of Massachusetts
