Introducing a platform for sharing CRE topics.
Hi CRE Professionals of Reddit - 

I'm expanding on a concept I first developed for a small commercial real estate company in Phoenix, AZ. What began as a method to deliver content-driven marketing became a popular report for the region nearing its one millionth view after three years. Considering the size of the Phoenix CRE community, I like to think the one-million mark is significant.

With the help and support of other CRE professionals, I'm launching a platform to cultivate interest in news, trends, and events by publishing a weekday blog. The Atlanta CRE market is my first focus as I develop technology that assists with publishing and distribution. 

While the website will be able to host original content, the report itself is a collection of information curated and augmented by real people - not bots or scrapers. While research plays a key role for identifying material, it's better if people can submit their own topics for consideration. 

Honoring the sidebar guidelines and reddiquette, I don't want this to come across as advertising. The project is fueled by vision and passion. I have some plugs both on the site in the the reports that is used to promote strategic partners. Similarly, I also add plugs for brokers by including their profiles. Participation (submitting material and receiving the report) is free. The report always credits and links back to the source. Copyright is always honored. In short, it's a genuine effort to share information. 

TL;DR: I've launched a platform for sharing CRE topics.

If you're in Chicago, there's a pretty good chance you know Linda, founder of theBrokerList. I was on the phone with her for about an hour working out how to best do this. I hope we can initiate at least a weekly distribution in about a week for your market. \n\nThanks for the feedback. We are working hard on making this an open platform. It would be really great to see activity in /r/commercialrealestate that can be included in the distribution. I added a couple items to the newsletter already.
