Introduction
It should come as no surprise that it is more important than ever to develop a strong digital presence for your commercial real estate firm. Especially if you want to stand out within your local market, enhance your marketing efforts and gain new potential clients long term.
Many commercial real estate private equity firms, brokerages, high performing agents / brokers understand they need a great online strategy. But most of the time fail to act to increase their brand awareness or elevate other aspects of their digital presence.
If you have been on the fence about investing in commercial real estate marketing for your firm this article will help you make a decision about why it is important to develop a strong digital presence.
Expand audience
No matter where you look, people are spending more of their time online, working remotely, using video calls, ordering groceries or catching up on social media.
People who may have been hesitant to complete certain transactions online are slowly being pushed into the need to adopt a digital focused mindset and presence.
All of the experiences that we just listed above are actively helping to usher in the new virtual way of doing business. This extends to the commercial real estate industry as well. Take this as a prime opportunity to tap into a new highly engaged audience that spends the majority of their time in front of their digital screens.
Market properties more effectively
Whether you’re trying to get in front of potential buyers, sellers or you want to lease more property this can be done with digital marketing.
As you expand your commercial real estate companies’ online presence you’ll be able to market your properties more effectively rather than just relying on traditional mediums.
Get your properties seen with search engine optimization, make it easy for your target audience to search for the property that they’re looking for via a property search engine directly on your website, advertise your property effectively with Google ads.

- Time on site
- Bounce-rate
- What properties somebody viewed

Create credibility
you may already have a very well-known name within commercial real estate. But what about your online credibility? Do people know who you are online? Can they find your real estate website easily?
