CCIM Connections

MailBridge, http://mailbridge.ccim.com, is one of the hardest-working CCIM member benefits. And most economical — like free! Members use it to impress clients, close deals, and find out what’s selling where.

Marketing and More

MailBridge
• puts my properties in front of brokers who understand IRRs, NPVs, cash on cash, and other concepts;
• tells prospective clients that I have access to an elite list of commercial real estate professionals at the click of a button.
— Nicholas L. Miner, CCIM

Regional Info Source

Several investors asked me to present opportunities outside of Southern California. Using MailBridge I located investments I would not have otherwise uncovered. The CCIM members who responded were a wealth of resources, assisting me with information on the local economy, investment climate, comparable sales, and future growth.  This cooperation saved me valuable time and gave my clients up-to-date information.

A Tool for Today’s Market

MailBridge is invaluable, particularly in today’s market conditions. In collaboration with CCIM candidate Will Young, we’ve closed two shopping center sales and have five fast-food portfolio deals in process at this time, all thanks to MailBridge contacts. 
 — Arthur Hill, CCIM

Access to Advice

A client called me seeking advice on handling negotiations with a national tenant. I said I would try to get a sense of what this retailer was doing in the marketplace. The MailBridge response from my fellow CCIMs was terrific. I forwarded about six e-mails directly to my client, who was very impressed and several weeks later referred me to another client.
— Jerry Conroy, CCIM

Qualified Results

MailBridge alone is worth my annual dues. I had 50-plus quality responses on a mobile home park within 48 hours of an e-mail.
— Robert K. Fisher, CCIM

Sold

I advertised an O’Reilly Auto Parts store last year on MailBridge and received dozens of responses, including one from a broker who wanted to buy it for his own account. He made an LOI offer and the property closed in November 2009.

MailBridge gives you access to some of the best minds in the business!
