About Sibdu

To succeed in commercial real estate, you need to accomplish three goals: Gain knowledge of your local market. Make connections with the right people. Make and close deals. This applies no matter what you do in commercial RE – if you're a broker/agent, in corporate real estate, a construction pro, a designer, or if you're a supplier to the sector (architect, IT, phones, legal, credit, etc.).

We set up Sibdu to help you attain those three goals. How?

  • Gain local knowledge. When you join, you'll choose your location. You'll then have access to the news, blog postings and service directory for the area. You'll also be able to join public groups in your area to share knowledge and build connections to other pros. You can even read and contribute to our Blackboard, full of rumors and water cooler-type postings.
  • Connect with the right people. With our professional social networking, you'll be able to reach the people you need to know, so you can conduct your daily business. You can join public groups or even form your own private groups, to tightly connect with those people you can help (and they can assist you, too).
  • Make and close deals. Through our blog feature, you'll be able to share your knowledge with others, branding you as an expert and attracting more business in the process. And because you've networked with quality people through Sibdu, you'll know who to call when you need help in closing a deal.

If you are a broker/agent, property manager or property owner, we help you close deals through our patent-pending Networked Space Search. In the past, when you've searched for property, space or a site, you went to the "usual suspect" sites, entered in your search criteria, and hoped something fit your needs. Unfortunately, you were totally dependent on what we call the "supply side" of the real-estate equation to tell you if what you want is available. The worst aspect of this all was that you had to actually pay for these services.

Sibdu's Networked Space Search is different. With Sibdu, you're in charge of your real-estate search from the start. You enter in your requirements for your new space (whether you're buying, leasing, or not sure which way you want to go). If you're a real-estate broker or agent, you'll do the exact same thing for your client.

Based on your criteria, Sibdu then broadcasts your request to brokers, property owners, property managers and others on the supply side. You're anonymous at this point. The supply siders then log into Sibdu to propose their properties to you. You'll also see matching properties already entered into the Sibdu system.

There's much more to it, though. To the right, you can view a video tour of Sibdu, or download a document that shows what we're all about. Then you can sign up — it's free and you can cancel at any time.

If you are on that "supply side," don't fret — Sibdu is very much there for you as well. When you become a member, you'll receive Search by Request inquiries to your Sibdu account and to whatever e-mail account you desire. If you own or have listed a property that matches an inquiry, you'll log into Sibdu, upload the details, and wait to see if the demand side puts your property in his or her shortlist. If they do, you'll find out their identity and can start the selling process.

Also as a supply-side member, you'll be able to upload your inventory into Sibdu, so any of your properties that match Search by Request inquiries will automatically appear. Think of Sibdu as a tool for you to use to build qualified sales/lease leads for your properties.

We're the only ones out there putting the initial power of the search in the hands of the potential buyer and/or lessee. At the same time, we're giving the "other side" equally powerful tools. The result? Much shorter search times for properties, with maximum efficiency to boot.

Convinced? Sign up now, using the button on the left. It's fast, easy and absolutely free to join, and you can cancel at any time. You'll then be able to send Search by Request inquiries, upload your current inventories, and search and connect to other commercial/corporate real-estate executives, brokers and others across the country. Not convinced? you can take a video tour Sibdu, or download a .PDF to see what it can do for you and your business, all directly from this page.
