BELLEVUE, Wash., June 7, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CommercialCondos Inc. (CCI), a website dedicated to connecting buyers and sellers of commercial condominiums, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with OfficeFinder.com, one of the largest networks of highly qualified experts in office tenant representation working locally in over 550 markets, to supply OfficeFinder agents with integrated access to CommercialCondo.com's premier listing service and CCI website visitors with even more local experts to assist them in meeting their needs.
As part of its agreement, OfficeFinder's network of agents can now post properties and receive leads on those properties directly through www.CommercialCondos.com. CCI currently features over 400 current property listings, but expects that number to grow as it adds quality network agents, like OfficeFinder, and brokerages to its portfolio of clients.
"OfficeFinder's networks of agents are all specialists in tenant representation," said CCI President and Co-founder, Derek Doke. "It will be great to have their local expertise available to our visitors and accessible through our 'Find A Broker' tool. This agreement is a win-win for both sides as it expands our available local expertise and the potential for adding additional commercial condo listings available for sale or lease."
OfficeFinder President and Founder, James Osgood, said: "We feel our network will benefit greatly in working with CommercialCondos.com and utilizing their listing service which is hyper-focused in the markets our agents specialize in. We feel this agreement will extend the reach of our agents and increase the flow of qualified leads for both entities."
As part of the agreement, Osgood has accepted an advisory board position with CommercialCondos Inc.
"OfficeFinder has been in business since 1995 and has done an incredible job of gaining market share in the tenant representation niche vertical market," said Doke. "We believe Mr. Osgood is a great addition to our advisory board, and believe there is a great benefit to both of our organizations in working together at this level moving forward. Our goals are very much aligned with no direct competitive aspects in conflict."
CCI's service model is focused on an untapped and growing trend in the field of commercial condominiums where subdividing commercial real estate allows current property owners to reposition their properties into more marketable and financeable sizes, allowing more business owners and investors the opportunity to buy versus lease.
CCI offers annual memberships to both individuals and real estate firms, allowing unlimited postings, management tools and bulk uploading of properties for individuals with single locations and brokerages with geographically displaced agents.
"While at our core CCI is a listing service for commercial condominiums, our model goes far beyond by focusing on marketing and education programs that pull targeted buyers through to brokers and places brokers in front of buyers," said Doke. "CCI provides tools and resources that empower buyers, agents and owners interested in conducting commercial condominium transactions."
In addition, CCI will be launching an accredited continuing education program designed around commercial property ownership directed to key professional service verticals, such as dentists, physicians, chiropractors, accountants, attorneys, financial professionals and other core professional service groups.
