Mid-Year Report from Commercial Division President Mike Hejna
It has been a very busy year thus far. The bankruptcy of Xcelligent has put great pressure on many of our members and we have successfully added a data base to replace it, through Catylist. It is discussed below. We also were able to offer over 12 classes for continuing education (CE) that are wholly commercial orientated. No more fair housing classes for our commercial brethren. We have also filed suit against Florissant for unfair practices against our multi-family investors/owners. Currently, we are revising our commercial contracts and forms so that you have ready access to fair and balanced documents to conduct business. We appreciate your confidence in your Association and we will continue to work hard to protect the integrity of our business. 

Mike Hejna,
2018 Commercial Division President
Thinking ahead - STLCDS
With over 4,000 current "For Sale" or "For Lease" properties collected to date, St. Louis Commercial Data Systems - powered by Catylist - is proving to be a valuable tool in the St. Louis commercial marketplace and the alternative system needed by many commercial practitioners.

Have you invested in a commercial data exchange with fees much higher than STLCDS? St. Louis Commercial Division members can subscribe for $85 per month, billed quarterly. The Catylist platform is user-friendly and the STLCDS subscription price is reasonable and fair, making it a smart investment. Consider a transition sooner rather than later!

Trial period until June 30 to test the system at no charge!
