Why is finding commercial real estate so difficult? Investors, residential real estate agents, and colleagues ask this question on a regular basis. The residential market was changed with the entrance of Zillow and Redfin to digital world. Their fight to become the “Google search” of real estate listings has made consumer efforts much easier.
Commercial real estate, however, has lagged behind. Where are the centralized Commercial sites like Zillow and Redfin? Unfortunately, we have yet to find them. The marketing sites below and Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) are all fighting to be your go-to search engine and don’t want to play nice with each other.
If you’re a seller or landlord, in order to market your property, we post to a majority of these sites. If you’re a buyer or tenant, where should you look? Here are most of the sites to which we post:
- kwcommercial.com
- NECPE.com
- NEREN.com
- CREXi.com
- Mainelistings.com
- LoopNet.com
- Brevitas.com
- Digsy
- HarkenCRE.com
- LDCRE.com
- List Self Storage
- officespace.com
- Quantumlisting.com
- Radius+
- RealNex.com
- RealtyZapp.com

If the ‘do-it-yourself’ approach for your commercial search doesn’t sound like fun, our commercial brokers have been in the business for years and are tech-savvy. Not only have they spent hundreds of hours navigating these sites, learning which are best for sellers vs. landlords and buyers vs. tenants, their personal connections give them access to deals that aren’t even marketed online.
If you have any questions, give us a call at 603-610-8523. We’d love to get you in the right space or help get your property sold.
