Eileen,

It is interesting that Commercial real estate has been slow in adapting to the net.  When we had our company, we attempted to get Black's Guide to go on line (and they eventually did and sold it to NCI) to have infor at the keyboard.  There remains a challenge in leasing office space as data changes constantly...so real time can be difficult and that was what Black's guide did constantly call to update, whcih was an annoyance to agents.  I think the QR's is where it is at on the sign, and that way the data is relatively current...A
