Behind the Website – Some Interesting Rofo Stats Worth Sharing

no comments

2010 has been a very busy year. We’ve welcomed in some great national customers/partners like Cushman and Wakefiled, CBC, Sperry Van Ness, Regus, and Hines. And our list of regional strategic partners continues to grow at a rapid pace. Companies like PS Business Parks, Irvine Company, Rreeff/McCarthy Cook, Dollinger Properties, De Anza. Of course we’re appreciative to have their unique listings content on Rofo. But even more so, they are active participants in our fast growing tenant marketplace.

Active Tenants on Rofo

For tenants, the search for commercial space begins online. Its no different than researching prices on Amazon or CNET for product reviews. And the metric we like to track related to tenant activity is not the visits and page views, but property tours. At the time of this posting, Rofo has generated a total of 32,773,000 sqft of initial tenant tours. That’s 3 times the total office space vacancy rate in San Francisco according to Colliers.

Active Landlords and Brokers on Rofo

The other metric we like to track in our tenant marketplace is broker and landlord engagement. Rofo, unlike other listing sites, provides landlords and brokers the opportunity to find and engage commercial tenants. Not only have we surpassed 100,000 commercial real estate listings but we have facilitated 14,000 space proposals to active tenants.

Real Estate Professional Use of Social Media

I’m going to keep the exact stats a secret, but suffice to say we are really excited to see to rate of adoption of our Linkedin app, Real Estate Pro. Its turnkey for professionals and offers a social search of a business users market. Nowhere else can you view who has the listings, who is completing deals and how you are connected to that professional.

Thanks to all of our active users in 2010 and we look forward to expanding our platform in 2011.
