Grand Blanc, Michigan, January 12, 2012.  The Commercial Board of REALTORS® – Michigan (CBOR) is pleased to announce a new “Alliance” with the Saginaw Board of REALTORS® (SBR) to provide commercial benefits and dual membership in CBOR and CPIX.net to SBR’s members.

CBOR, with 625 members, focuses on providing Michigan’s commercial real estate practitioners and industry related professionals services and benefits.  One of CBOR’s greatest benefits is www.CPIX.net, the statewide commercial property information exchange (CIE), which is similar to a local MLS.  CPIX is a commercial marketing platform with integrated research, governed by CBOR’s board of directors, with a full statewide, national, and international public interface.

SBR members that focus on the commercial real estate industry can now join CBOR and CPIX at a reduced rate, as long as they remain primary members of SBR.  Member benefits of this relationship include access to commercial transaction forms, free commercial continuing education, commercial networking events, commercial focused political advocacy, commercial news, discounts on services, and reduced membership rates to CPIX.net.  SBR members can also create free guest accounts to market their properties to the 450+ CPIX members.

This is CBOR’s 22^nd “Alliance” with local associations of REALTORS® in Michigan.  CBOR continues to broaden its scope with the goal of providing low cost, highly efficient resources and marketing tools for every commercial practitioner in the state of Michigan.

Nancy McKellar, Executive Vice President of CBOR and CPIX Executive Director said “CPIX has developed into the most technologically advanced database for all types of commercial real estate practitioners, including salespeople, appraisers, site selectors, and economic development.  It is just one of the many benefits that CBOR offers.  The demand to be able to find creative ways to join affordably initiated the “Alliance”. With CBOR working as a team with the Saginaw Board of REALTORS®, both associations are ensuring that we provide our members with everything they need to be successful.”
