The Commercial and Industrial Council (CIC) is an organization of professionals who buy, sell, lease, manage, and develop land to general industry and business in the Reading-Berks region. As a result they can help companies and individuals find or sell a location anywhere in the state, but generally concentrate their services in Berks County. Using tools of the trade, they can market the properti
es they list nationwide, thereby bringing interested parties from all over the country to the table on their client’s behalf. CIC members have the contacts to bring buyers and sellers together, the negotiation skills to expedite the transaction, the knowledge to know when
to bring in other professionals (e.g. environmental specialists, financial advisors, etc.), and the experience to ensure everything gets done right to facilitate
the desired purchase or sale. In fact, CIC members are some of the most experienced real estate persons in Berks County, able to count the time they
have been involved in commercial real estate not in years, but in decades. The next time you are going to be involved in a commercial real estate transaction, remember that a CIC member can help you with everything from leasing a small storefront, to locating a viable investment property, to acquiring a historic office building for refurbishing, to finding a site for building a state-of-the-art industrial plant. To benefit from the expertise a CIC member can offer you (and your company), make certain that your first call is to one of the CIC professionals to ensure that you are represented by the best in the business. The CIC members meet monthly to discuss various commercial and industrial opportunities in the area and for professional training and development.
