We’ve just release a new national marketplace for commercial property, and a whole bunch of enhancements to our existing sites. Here are some of the more significant changes/additions:

New National Website - Commercial IQ

Some Background

We at Catylist have spent the past 6+ years working to empower local real estate associations — allowing them to maintain and control a local marketplace rather than just shipping their data off to a national vendor.  We’ve built CIEs (Commercial Information Exchanges — the equivalent of a Commercial MLS) for over 30 associations around the country, which is more than any other vendor.  Besides all the normal MLS features, these exchanges also allow sophisticated email marketing, syndication of listing data to various local and national distribution points (listing aggregators, media outlets, economic development communities), etc.

We’re very pleased to announce the launch of our new National CIE: Commercial IQ, located at www.commercialiq.com. Commercial IQ offers all the great functionality and integrated marketing tools as our local CIE websites and will be heavily promoted to investors, users, tenants and commercial real estate professionals across the country to provide your listings with increased marketing exposure. Listings and professional profiles of full-access CIE members will automatically display on Commercial IQ.

This new Commercia lIQ site is a way to give those local groups some additional national exposure, on their terms.

Listing Overview Revamp

When you click on “view details”, the page will expand to include all listing detail as well as links for all file attachments. Additional links and custom CIE links, i.e. Assessor data, can be found under ‘View all Attachments”.

Local Exchange Overhaul

Based on your feedback, we have made some significant changes to your CIE Website, including more intuitive navigation, a wider screen width, and easier access to commonly used functionality.

We’ve completely revamped the “My CIE” section. Log into your CIE website and immediately access everything you need to search, market and close deals faster than ever before.

From MY CIE, you can:

• Add and edit property listings
• Perform local and national searches
• Save searches and catalogs
• Manage your account info, edit your professional profile, email preferences, password and more
• Access various marketing tools at special CIE member rates, including Catylist CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Cmail Marketing (Email Marketing Network), Custom Brochures & Flyers, Floor & Site Plan Cleanup, Company & Property Websites, and Much More
• Enter listings one time and send to Catylist partner websites, including: Commercial IQ - Catylist’s NEW National Exchange!

Integrated CIE Listing Management

In an effort to simplify the listing process, members adding or managing their listings may now do so directly from the CIE instead of going to market.catylist.com. To manage your listings from the CIE, simply log in and click the “My Listings” button that appears in the navigation bar under the header. Also, members may edit their account and profile directly from the CIE. To do this, log in and click the “My Account” button in the navigation bar under the header.

Bulk-edit Interface

We’ve replaced the existing quick-edit functionality with a more functional online spreadsheet. You can now customize which fields show up on the spreadsheet, and save these preferences for future use.
