Currently, 969 GVR members and almost 1,600 REALTORS® across BC access the Commercial Broadcast Email Service (CBES).  

Our commercial members are using the CBES more than ever. So far this year there have been over three million requests sent, resulting in over three million opens and nearly 1.8 million unique opens! 

Here are the key rules and tips for using the CBES: 

• Messages must be related to commercial real estate, meaning it must have five or more units and/or have immediate commercial potential. 
• When sending a “have” email, choose the region where the listing is located. 
• When sending a “want” email, choose all regions of interest that apply. 
• Unless there’s an integral change to your ‘have’ or ‘want’ email, don’t resend the same email within a six-month period – no one likes spam!
