CBRE has extended its online Deal Flow platform that lists investment property and portfolio sales to the UK market.
The Deal Flow platform is already operational in the US and will now be rolled out across EMEA. It allows real estate investors to see CBRE's open-market sales across all sectors and geographies. Users will be required to register and affirm their investment preferences to receive updates for relevant CBRE sales.
CBRE said that as well as providing a distinct advantage to CBRE’s global investor base, the tool aims to boost transactions thanks to its sophisticated marketing capability and ability to identify investor trends. This in turn will provide CBRE teams with a better understanding of individual investor requirements.
The launch follows the introduction of CBRE’s small caps team, focused exclusively on deals valued at £10 mln or less. Whilst aimed at marketing assets of all sizes and across all sectors, Deal Flow is in part geared towards assisting CBRE to reach new market entrants, many of whom are increasingly interested in smaller lot sizes.
'Technology is becoming an ever more important consideration for the real estate industry and this new platform will provide us with a state of the art marketing tool which will allow us to provide a more efficient service for clients across the globe,' said Stephen Hubbard, chairman of CBRE UK.
