"Commercial real estate investors, brokers and owners are less confident about a near-term recovery than they were a few months ago, according to an informal [October 2009] poll … of members of LoopNet, an online commercial real estate marketplace. Approximately 1,000 members responded to the poll, which asked when the CRE prices will hit bottom if they haven't already, when the market will recover, and what the biggest barriers to a recovery are? When the same questions were posed in July 2009, 66% of respondents expected the volume of commercial real estate transactions to rebound in 2010, with the remainder predicting it wouldn't increase until 2011 or later. [Now] 50% are still holding out hope for a recovery in the second half of 2010 while the other half now predicts 2011 or 2012 …."

Atlanta Journal-Constitution - August 20, 2009
"Commercial property sales fell 69 percent for the 12-month period ending on June 30, compared with the same period in the previous year, according to a new report by LoopNet, an online commercial real estate listings service. Sales totaled $3.1 billion, compared with $9.9 billion for the same period a year ago."

Dallas Morning News - July 30, 2009
"Commercial real estate executives are tempering their expectations of when the market will recover. Only 10 percent expect things to improve this year, and more than half are betting the market won't turn around until the second half of 2010, according a new survey by LoopNet Inc., an Internet marketing firm. "There is general agreement on the timing of an increase in transaction volume across brokers, investors and owners, although slightly more investors expect an increase to wait until 2011," LoopNet said in the new report issued Thursday. Most real estate industry players predict "significant" further declines in commercial property values this year – 10 to 20 percent, LoopNet said after querying 2,000 people."

The Sacramento Bee - June 19, 2009
"Many [real estate investors] are snapping up deeply discounted foreclosed homes and other distressed properties. … Web sites are now vying to be the go-to portals for real estate prospectors. One of the more established sites is LoopNet. It carries more than 685,000 commercial property listings, but also residential income properties, or those marketed to buyers looking to become landlords. Users can search for listings several ways, including city, state and price range. Results come with details like photos, price information and an aerial map of the neighborhood. LoopNet also provides demographic data within several miles of the property, including average household income and retail sales, which can be helpful to would-be landlords looking to gauge the potential tenant pool."

GlobeSt.com - May 28, 2009
"If access to capital improves and prices continue to fall commercial real estate transaction activity will begin to recover in 2010, according to a LoopNet survey. The poll ... captured the opinions of 1,500 owners, brokers and investors who are LoopNet subscribers. While the results were largely consistent across all three major participant segments, owners rate the importance of access to capital slightly higher, and differing price expectations slightly lower, than brokers or investors, according to Mike Manning, LoopNet's Vice President of Marketing."

National Real Estate Investor Newsline - May 18, 2009
"Spending for online commercial real estate marketing is projected to reach a record $2.9 billion in 2009 ... a substantial increase from the previous record of $2.5 billion in 2008, according to Borrell Associates Inc.[a media research firm]. One reason for the increase, according to Mike Manning, vice president of LoopNet, is that it is often less costly to advertise online rather than in print publications or other media. Some monthly ads run as low as $15 per listing, and the amount of traffic generated by the ads can be measured. A broader target audience can often be reached online than by advertising locally in print, Manning says. On LoopNet.com, 47% of searches for sale properties originated outside of the local market area in January 2009. Although the leasing market tends to be more local, 28% of all searches still originated from outside of the local market in January."

Minneapolis Star Tribune - March 6, 2009
"Last year's sharp drop in commercial property sales rippled across virtually every segment of the Twin Cities-area market. The dollar value of office property sales in both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul fell nearly 90%, compared with a 73% drop for central business districts nationwide. The figures were compiled by two widely quoted real estate research firms, Real Capital Analytics of New York and LoopNet of San Francisco. Office deals weren't the only ones to languish last year, according to Real Capital and LoopNet. The total value of retail properties sold in the Twin Cities area fell about 67%, slightly better than the 72% decline nationwide."

California RE Journal - December 8, 2008
"Since its establishment, LoopNet's Community Involvement program has contributed more than 2,000 hours of volunteer service and more than $250,000 in cash and in-kind donations. Throughout 2008, the San Francisco-based company [LoopNet] volunteered with Earthworks, Habitat for Humanity, the Glide Foundation, the Marine Mammal Center, Urban Sprouts and the Union Station Foundation."

Globe and Mail (Canada) - November 26, 2008
"Several U.S. companies operate online directories of commercial property. Not all list Canadian properties, but one that does is San Francisco-based LoopNet.com.... Mike Manning, LoopNet's vice-president of marketing, says a commercial real estate broker founded LoopNet because, at the time, "there weren't good ways of sharing information within the commercial real-estate sector," Mr. Manning says. "Most of it was personal networks." [LoopNet] has a sizable number of Canadian listings. "Canada is clearly our No. 2 market after the U.S.," Mr. Manning says. "We also see a lot of searches originating from outside North America for North American properties," Mr. Manning notes.... Online information has made commercial real-estate investing less of an insiders' game and reduced research drudgery. "I think we have opened it up more broadly as an investment category," Mr. Manning says, "because the information is more widely available now."

Wall Street Journal - November 13, 2008
"For small companies looking to cash out, this may be an ideal time. The reason is that fewer businesses are on the block these days. A smaller supply of sellers means those companies that show stability, profits and steady cash flow can command a premium price. Michael Handelsman, general manager at BizBuySell.com, an online marketplace that lists companies for sale, says manufacturing businesses, hotel/motels, supermarkets and gas stations had the highest median sale prices in the third quarter."

Wall Street Journal, Small Talk - August 11, 2008
"to boost your chances [of selling a building that will be useful for a small business],... target sites where many small-business owners seeking property or businesses for sale tend to hang out. Some online business brokers, for instance, offer property listings. BizBuySell.com, which is owned by LoopNet, sells real-estate listings… that allow you to post a photo of the business. Since many prospective business buyers use the site to find businesses for sale, they may be also scouting for property. (The Wall Street Journal has a partnership with LoopNet and BizBuySell to show listings through the Journal's site.)"

New York Times - June 15, 2008
"The real estate market may have cooled, but investor demand may soon be heating up for at least one type of property: land. Some of the most attractive deals lately have come from land developers and home builders, who are divesting parcels in many parts of the country as they whittle down excess housing inventory. Even smaller landowners, facing their own financial strains, are selling off lots once meant for building. Investors of all types can find property for sale with the help of brokers as well as through online commercial listing services like LoopNet.com... Thomas P. Byrne, LoopNet's president and chief operating officer, says undeveloped land makes up about 15 percent of his company's 600,000 listings."

San Francisco Business Times - May 9, 2008
"As national real estate woes begin to spread from the housing to office, one market is still holding up relatively well: LoopNet's online commercial real estate marketplace. Buoyed by strong growth in 2007 and a solid first quarter, the San Francisco company has expanded its footprint in China Basin, grabbing 47,000 square feet with an option to soak up 100,000 square feet more as the company grows... The lease will allow LoopNet to grow from its current 225-employee workforce to about 275 within the next 12 months, according to Thomas Byrne, the company's president and chief operating officer. 'We are still on a reasonably aggressive growth path -- we plan to hire in tandem with our revenue growth,' said Byrne. With the credit crunch bringing the investment market to a screeching halt, Byrne said LoopNet has seen the slowdown of the number of clients seeking to acquire properties. But the drop in buyers is more than compensated for by eager, and in some cases desperate, sellers. Instead of receiving multiple offers on anything that hits the market, sellers of commercial property actually have to invest in marketing. Increasingly, that means online marketing in addition to the traditional direct mail and the old-fashioned way: signs hung on the side of buildings. 'The time properties are sitting on the market is increasing and the need to aggressively market properties is increasing,' said Byrne. "And we're seeing more and more people doing that online. We're still in the very early stages of market penetration.'"

Since he joined the company in 2002, he has been a major part of it's [LoopNet's] expanding reach in the industry and its tenfold revenue growth. As the California Real Estate Journal looks at how technology is influencing commercial real estate, Byrne took the time to discuss the future of the industry in the digital age."

The New York Times - February 3, 2008
"It wasn't long ago that finding commercial property meant traveling by car or plane to various sites — with measuring tools, notepads and camera in tow — then pounding the pavement to inspect comparable places, vet tenants or peruse town hall documents. Nowadays, investing in commercial real estate is easier and far more transparent. Son Vann, 36, a management consultant from Houston, bought his first property...over a year ago with the help of LoopNet, the online commercial listing service. Mr. Vann's goal was to find an industrial building with a strong capitalization rate. 'You can do a lot of prescreening and basically sort it by cap rate within a certain region,' he said. The listing agent for the warehouse that he bought also provided information about cash flow, rents and major expenses, and he was able to contrast the numbers with those of comparable properties under consideration. 'They can get so much more information today than just five years ago,' said Thomas P. Byrne, the Chief Marketing Officer at LoopNet. Mr. Byrne speculates that the next generation of sites will incorporate personal networking structures like MySpace and YouTube. After all, 'it is a people business, and our investors want to communicate with one another,' he said. 'We're just in the early stages of thinking how to leverage that."

"The vast majority of transactions may still open and close with a handshake, but a growing number of brokers and entrepreneurs in the commercial real estate industry are seeking new ways to facilitate deals and forge business relationships online. While online companies like LoopNet have become staples in the commercial real estate industry by providing online access to real estate listings and data, a different breed of online real estate service is emerging. Thomas Byrne, Chief Marketing Officer for LoopNet, which claims more than 2.4 million members said LoopNet will be an 'early adopter' of video technology when demand is sufficient. For the time being, members can add links to videos of properties from within listings that are posted on the site [LoopNet.com]. As for competing with user-generated content sites, Byrne said LoopNet is already there. 'With the click of a button, [members] can generate a Web site that incorporates photos, maps and other information into a highly attractive website,' he said."
