Expose your listings on local chamber of commerce websites
Since you never know where your next deal will come from, it’s vital that your property listings are exposed in as many places as possible. Businesses looking for space in a new market often start their search on a local chamber of commerce or economic development website, making those sites a great source of leads for your properties.
Our information exchanges are partnered with almost two dozen local chambers and ED groups around the country, and we’re adding more all the time. See the press release below for the latest addition: the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce.

Chattanooga Association of REALTORS® Teams with Local Chamber to Help Bring New Business to the Area
The Tennessee Valley Commercial Listing Service (CLS), powered by Catylist and operated by the Commercial Investment Council of the Chattanooga Association of REALTORS®, recently partnered with the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce to display commercial real estate for sale or lease on the Chamber’s website. The Tennessee Valley CLS website, launching earlier this year, provides access to over 500 available industrial, office, and retail properties as well as vacant land throughout Southeast Tennessee, Northwest Georgia, and Northeast Alabama at www.TennesseeValleyCLS.com. In addition to buildings, users can also search for local commercial REALTORS® to assist in their relocation efforts. The same search-engine functionality and property data set, updated in real-time, will be available on the Chamber website via EDCLink, also powered by Catylist, in early November.
While the database will provide access for all companies seeking to relocate, this partnership comes on the heels of a major business expansion in the area. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. recently announced that it will build a U.S. automotive production facility in Chattanooga. The expansion is expected to bring nearly 2,000 new jobs to the area and an investment of $1 billion to the economy. The online database and direct contact with local commercial real estate professionals will assist suppliers in locating facilities as new contracts are awarded by Volkswagen.
The database will be available at www.chattanooga-chamber.com.
