Chicago, IL (October 15, 2009) – CommercialSource.com, the online destination for commercial real estate listings, today announced its agreement with the Canadian Commercial Council of REALTORS® (CCC) for reciprocal links on both parties websites.
These reciprocal links provide REALTORS® with increased exposure of their listings allowing consumers to search for properties across North America.
NAR President Charles McMillan said, “Realtors® in the United States and Canada are industry innovators.
The new tool we’ve created will make it easier for commercial real estate professionals and consumers in two countries to save time and money in locating the kind of property they would like to purchase in either country. That will help to speed up the process of doing business across a friendly border and reshape the commercial real estate industry.”
“This agreement allows NAR and its commercial real estate division to greatly expand delivery of commercial real estate information,” says Bob Goldberg, NAR senior vice president of marketing, business development, and commercial services.
“Our goal is to continuously provide unmatched value to our commercial members and their clients.”
The website CommercialSource.com, owned by the National Association of Realtors® and powered by ePropertyData, continues to grow with commercial listings from commercial real estate brokerage firms, Realtor® associations and hundreds of their respective affiliates.

"By putting reciprocal links on each of our websites, we are improving service to clients on both sides of the border. This is a win-win situation for consumers and the entire Realtor® family.
