Retail Brokers Network...Teamwork At Work

Founded in 1994, the Retail Brokers Network (RBN) is a networking group whose members specialize in retail real estate brokerage.  Member firms work together on a regional and national level in tenant representation, investment sales and leasing.  RBN members interact through monthly special-council conference calls, ICSC Conventions, and the day-to-day trading of pertinent information.  This communication and collaboration allow the members to keep up with the ever-changing marketplace and increase business.

                                   

One of the biggest bonuses of RBN membership is being on the inside of a national network that refers and moves business through its own system.  This benefit was the main reason why founding members of the Retail Brokers Network started the organization.  The founders wanted to work with clients on a national scope and have the tools to receive and refer business around the U.S.

This referral system has worked well for Equity Retail Brokers, a Northeast Affiliate of the RBN.  Representing the Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey territories, Equity has worked successfully with several other RBN member firms using this system, including LMS Commercial Real Estate (Central PA), Sax Realty (Maryland, North Virginia, District of Columbia), The Goldstein Group (North and Central New Jersey) and NAI Emory Hill (Delaware).

Below is a list of retailers that have benefitted from the cooperation between Equity and the RBN member firms:

• CiCi’s Pizza
• Firestone
• Party City
• Pet Valu
• PNC Bank
• Pompanoosuc Mills
• Shoe Carnival
• Starbucks
• Super Shoes
• TGI Friday’s
• Verizon Wireless
• Wells Fargo
