Pennsylvania REALTORS® create a statewide Commercial Property Database
We’ve recently launched a new CIE for the country’s 8th Largest REALTOR® association. Welcome Pennsylvania Association of REALTORS® (PAR) to the Catylist family!
PAR is comprised of 30,000+ residential and commercial REALTOR® members and covers 47 local REALTOR® associations throughout the state of Pennsylvania. PAR’s new database provides Pennsylvania real estate professionals a place to search and share property listings, recent sale/lease comparables, view demographics and market statistics, access marketing tools, and network with others to put together deals. With the current economic strain, there couldn’t be a better time for professionals in the market to come together and find more efficient ways of doing business.
“This is a great tool for REALTORS®. REALTORS® can get a statewide view of the commercial market so they can better service clients”, says John Derham, chair of PAR’s Commercial, Industrial and Investment Committee and Senior Managing Director, Cushman & Wakefield, Philadelphia.
