CBOR is thrilled to announce a new partnership with REsimplifi, Inc.
CPIX.net, our statewide commercial information exchange, will be powered by REsimplifi’s CRE technology with a new agreement in place through 2029.
This agreement allows CBOR to determine pricing and rules that are important to our CRE practitioners throughout the state and beyond. We OWN the data on CPIX, and CPIX is owned by CBOR and its members. CPIX will be elevated with the direct connection to REsimplifi’s extensive expertise in both economic development and data services.
Our collective goals will embrace ALL aspects of the CRE industry and bring segments together to share one database of active listings throughout the state.
CPIX has evolved exponentially since launching in 2003. Not only do we share the same technology with CARWM (Commercial Alliance of REALTORS® West Michigan) but we are the only service with direct relationships with economic development organizations throughout the state, providing data to them for public searching on their websites. REsimplifi and CBOR recently renewed relationships with the MEDC, Detroit Regional Partnership, and Flint Township and have active relationships with many more.
CBOR’s staff actively researches and manages available properties throughout Michigan with the objective of having one database with all availabilities, including listed properties, privately owned properties, and municipal owned properties.
Although CPIX will continue to focus on marketing member listings, we also have access to great tools including Commercial RPR, which provides our REALTOR® members free access to research level data.

Members will start off with their data being shared with Commercial RPR and a long list of economic development sites. Relationships to share data with Placer.ai, Sites USA, and SiteSeer are in process. The intention is to syndicate to unique sites that will attract new eyeballs – not the sites that everyone is already adding their listing data to. Don’t forget that member listings are ALWAYS available to the public!
We also have the ability to focus on and increase our SEO results. Our ranking was stripped away by our previous technology provider. We are incredibly excited to watch the organic growth reach the heights we saw prior to the last couple of years.
Who can join? ANYONE. Individuals can join. Membership with CBOR (REALTOR®) or CRE Pros (non-REALTOR®) is not required but does provide discounts on CPIX membership.
CPIX was launched to give the Michigan CRE community operational control and ownership over the compilation of data. Our continued success revolves around industry professionals getting involved and providing guidance for the one marketing platform that you really do have control over. And, when brokers are involved in leading the path for something they use and pay for, it definitely helps guarantee the best pricing out there!
