Q. How does CPDigest.com differ from other online commercial property sites?
A.
Commercial real estate professionals are the most frequent users of current public and members-only sites.
Unlike these, CPDigest.com online traffic comes from recipients of the Commercial Property Digest magazine sent directly to potential buyers and tenants in the Denver Regional business community. Every property page in the magazine indicates that additional information about each property can be found on the website. This should help insure that most visitors are current or future prospects.
Q. Can I show a range of sizes on a condo project?
A. Yes you can.
Q. What do I do if I have a property that does not fit a Property Type category?
A. These properties should be placed under the Special Use Category where you will have an opportunity to explain the properties’ unique features. When these are searched online the property use will show prominently as well as the representative’s comments about the nature of the property and its potential. The website has a Key Word search that searches the text of the ad so if you have a Bowling alley, Drive in, restaurant, etc we encourage you to include these references in your copy.
Q. Does the CPDigest.com website provide a map of my submitted property?
A. If you have provided a correct and complete postal address or the latitude and longitude coordinates of the property a map link will be provided. If the system cannot map your property, fields for Latitude and Longitude will be provided and a
link to a site were you can find these coordinates. On the Edit page these fields will be displayed so you can make corrections if necessary.
