CBRE Group, Inc. and Real Capital Markets (RCM) today announced the launch of CBRE Deal Flow (www.cbredealflow.com)—a new online marketplace for buying and selling commercial real estate that is powered by a customized version of RCM’s technology platform.

CBRE has implemented CBRE Deal Flow to market, manage, and connect property investors and loan offerings worldwide. The platform creates a singular source for CBRE property sale and portfolio listings, whereby all working group interactions are managed using one integrated communications ecosystem.

“In this global market, there is an abundance of capital from all corners of the world chasing the same opportunities.

CBRE Deal Flow further integrates our global network and vast resources to connect clients to the right opportunities at the right time, enabling investors to make intelligent decisions. The platform gives CBRE a distinct strategic advantage through a vibrant technology platform to deliver world-class outcomes for our clients,” said Kevin Aussef, Executive Managing Director, Investment Properties, Capital Markets, CBRE.

Buyer Benefits:
CBRE Deal Flow brings increased efficiency and transparency to the buying process—from sourcing actionable deals and streamlining due diligence to bidding online. The online marketplace allows commercial real estate investors to globally source deals that meet their specific investment criteria. Investors can manage opportunities in a single online dashboard; securely store and share confidential documents; and purchase assets in both online auction and traditional sealed-bid formats.

Seller/Client Benefits:
The combination of CBRE’s market insight and RCM’s industry leading technology yield the greatest price, execution and transparency for sellers. CBRE Deal Flow’s all-in-one toolset streamlines the entire disposition process and accelerates closing periods. Full-coverage tracking and reporting provides a clear view of how prospective buyers interact with the listing.

Broker Benefits:
CBRE Deal Flow puts vast market intelligence at broker’s fingertips to help them gain insight into investor’s real time interests. The platform equips investment sales brokers with an all-in-one sales and marketing toolkit to expand deal management capabilities. The toolset is in one place, so there is no need to use several different service providers to market, manage, and close listings. This enables brokers to improve listing exposure and achieve better pricing/execution.
