CommercialNetwork is a discreet online marketplace for real estate investments. Sellers and buyers have the opportunity to initiate contact as soon as a match is found for the offer and the existing demand (the matching process). The property owners will receive profiles of suitable investors with whom they can connect on an individual basis. The interested parties can open negotiations after contact and property data are fully exchanged. Access is subject to charge.
Depending on the form of the account, the future user has to provide various documents to our team at CommercialNetwork before the account can be activated.
Owners use CommercialNetwork for the discreet sale of their real estate. Every property owner can adjust the investment profiles on demand. CommercialNetwork brings together owners and potential investors in just four simple steps. Both parties will undergo a qualitative verification process carried out by our real estate specialists.
A detailed description of the estate is required in order to find a suitable investor for the offered property. The user has to fill in a standard online form. It is not visible to other market participants.
Sellers have the opportunity to keep the details of their offers hidden from potential investors or, alternatively, release a limited exposé. Regardless of the choice, property owners will be informed about suitable investment profiles coming from investors both on their user account as well as via email.
In order to guarantee the reliability of the offer, the following documents are supplied online by the seller:
Please note: The more detailed the property description, the better it can be matched to potential investors.
Via a matching process involving the listed property and the given investment profile, potential investors will be identified by the property seller. The seller can contact the investors individually. A limited exposé will be provided for this purpose.
At this point, investors can only view the limited exposé released by the property owner. However, the owner can be informed about the investor’s interest in the offer via a contact enquiry.
If the seller decides to release a limited exposé to the investor, the investor can accept or reject the property offer. After the investor accepts the property offer, the identity of both parties will become visible. This process can be terminated by either of the parties at any given time so that the identity of the property remains anonymous. After exchanging contact information, the property seller releases the full exposé. It is the obligation of the investor to express prior knowledge of the property or deny it. The property owner determines at all times the non-disclosure steps of the listed property.
After the property owner and the investor exchange the contact and property information, they enter the phase of direct negotiations.
Brokers use CommercialNetwork as an online sales platform for real estate offers. For this purpose, a broker account has to be created first. In order to do so, brokers are required to present a marketing mandate for the given property authorised by the owner. Subsequently, they will be connected with potential investors in four simple steps. Both parties will undergo a qualitative verification process carried out by our real estate specialists.
A detailed description of the estate is required in order to find a suitable investor for the offered property. The user has to fill in a standard online form in which the broker clearly indicates whether a broker’s fee will be charged.
The property information is not visible to other market participants.
Brokers have the opportunity to keep the details of their offers hidden from potential investors or, alternatively, release a limited exposé. Regardless of the choice, brokers will be informed about suitable investment profiles coming from investors both on their user account as well as per email.
In order to guarantee the reliability of the presented estate, it is essential that the broker supplies the following documents before releasing the offer:
Via a matching process involving the listed property and the given investment profile, potential investors will be identified for the brokers. Brokers can individually contact investors through CommercialNetwork. At this initial stage only a limited exposé will be available.
Investors can only view the limited exposé released by the property owner. The limited exposé will indicate whether a broker's fee will be charged.
The broker may accept or reject the contact enquiry from the potential investor. The same applies to investors who were contacted by brokers with a property offer. After the contact enquiry is accepted, the identity of both parties will become visible. This process can be terminated by either of the parties at any given time so that the identity of the property remains anonymous. At the end of this stage the broker releases a full exposé. It is the obligation of the investor to express prior knowledge of the property or deny it.
After the broker and the investor exchange the contact and property information, they enter the phase of direct negotiations.
Investors can use CommercialNetwork for the acquisition and sale of real estate properties. In order to prevent abusive practices, an investor account has to be firstly created and activated in line with the quality check procedures at CommercialNetwork. Subsequently, investors will be connected with property owners or brokers in four simple steps. At this point the property owner has already confirmed being the proprietor of the offered estate by presenting an extract from the land register. Brokers have also submitted a broker licence as well as a commission certificate.
Investors can create any number of investment profiles. It is advisable to ensure that the investment profiles are detailed and thorough. This guarantees that the investor receives fitting offers without risking losses caused by non-selective advertising. Every investment profile is verified by CommercialNetwork.
Once a successful matching takes place, the property seller will see an overview of potential investors. At this stage the sellers may contact investors offering them access to a limited exposé.
In such a case when the property information had been released in advance by the seller, the investor has the possibility of examining the suitable properties matching his or her investment profile on the basis of a limited exposé.
If the investor is interested in a submitted offer, he or she can accept the corresponding contact enquiry. The same applies to the sellers of properties in which investors have shown interest. The identities of both parties will be revealed in a step-by-step process. This process can be terminated by either of the parties at any given time so that the identity of the property remains anonymous. After exchanging contact information, the property seller can release the full exposé. It is the obligation of the investor to express prior knowledge of the property or deny it.
After the seller and the investor exchange the contact and property information, they enter the phase of direct negotiations.
The initial contact between the property owner or broker and the investor takes place anonymously. In agreement with the wishes of the interested parties, the contact and property information is released in a step-by-step process according to mutual consent. This process can be terminated by either of the parties at any given time so that the identity of the property remains anonymous. The property owner determines at all times the non-disclosure steps of the listed property.
Discretion and reliability enjoy the highest priority at CommercialNetwork. Our team verifies the identity of new users on the basis of a trade register excerpt/trade licence before their accounts are officially approved. Every single listed property is examined according to the extract from the land register and the marketing authorisation.
Neither investment profiles nor offered properties are visible to third parties at any given time. CommercialNetwork brings together property sellers, brokers and investors exclusively by means of a matching process. The matching involves the property data and investment profiles which are already listed by the users. It is up to the trade partners to individually determine among themselves which information will be released. Both parties can terminate the process at any given moment.
