Key Takeaways

  • High-quality, professional photos and media are essential since visual presentation strongly influences whether prospects engage with a listing.
  • Clear, keyword-rich headlines and summaries help listings stand out in search results and immediately communicate key property features.
  • Providing complete and accurate property details, such as size, pricing, zoning, and amenities, builds trust and prevents missed opportunities.
  • Optimizing for search visibility with specific terms and location details increases exposure to qualified buyers and tenants.
  • Strong calls-to-action paired with accurate, up-to-date contact information ensure that interested prospects know exactly how to take the next step.

A high-converting CRE listing doesn’t just sit on a page, it drives action. It makes it easy for buyers or tenants to understand the opportunity, then prompts them to reach out, schedule a tour, or request more details.

For many brokerages, admins are the glue that holds the property listing process together, charged with making sure every commercial real estate listing page looks good, reads clearly, and drives action.

But this isn’t always an easy task. How do you know what’s compelling, whether you’ve included too much or not enough information?

While we know it’s a bit sales pitch-y, that’s why we built Crexi Listing PRO. We wanted to give admins the ability to create, manage, and optimize listings across their entire brokerage. You get full control over content quality, visual consistency, and performance tracking, all from one dashboard.

This guide covers exactly how to create a commercial real estate listing that performs. If you’re responsible for quality control, performance reporting, or marketing support, this resource is for you.

Red Flags That Can Lower CRE Listing Conversions

Even small mistakes can cost big opportunities. Be on the lookout for:

  • Low-quality or missing images: Listings with blurry or missing photos often get skipped.
  • Incomplete property details: If a buyer has to ask for basics like pricing or square footage, they may not bother.
  • Outdated pricing or availability: Old info erodes trust and wastes everyone’s time.
  • Weak or missing CTAs: Listings without a next step don’t convert well.

Inconsistent branding across listings: If one page looks sharp and another looks rushed, your brokerage’s credibility suffers.

CRE Listing Page Optimization Checklist

Here are the top CRE listing optimization tips to make sure every property page is built for performance:

1. Use High-Quality, Professional Photos and Media

Buyers shop with their eyes. Make sure your listings showcase the property from multiple angles and include:

  • Exterior, interior, and aerial views
  • Nearby amenities or landmarks
  • Optional 3D tours or walkthrough videos

Crexi PRO allows admins to upload high-res photos and videos and easily replace outdated ones. Keep visual standards consistent across all listings.

2. Write a Clear, Compelling Headline and Summary

Your headline and summary appear in search results, so they must grab attention and clearly explain what’s being offered. Use keywords people are actually searching for. Be specific about asset type, square footage, or unique features.

PRO tip: Use our AI Script feature to easily upload a document, and our system will write compelling headlines and summaries that follow commercial property listing best practices.

3. Provide Complete and Accurate Property Details

Every commercial real estate listing page should include:

  • Lot and building size
  • Price or lease terms
  • Zoning and property type
  • Amenities and year built

Crexi’s structured form fields make it easy to confirm all required data is entered before publishing, and offer a Search Score ranking to better-optimize a page. Admins can use checklists to ensure brokers don’t miss anything.

4. Optimize for Search Visibility

Even the best listing won’t perform if it’s not showing up in search results. SEO-friendly listings bring in more traffic - and more qualified leads.

Admins can help optimize commercial real estate listings by:

  • Adding the city or neighborhood in the title and description
  • Encouraging brokers to avoid vague terms like “great space”
  • Using specific phrases such as “NNN investment in Austin” or “Retail pad in Dallas”

5. Include Location Context and Market Insights

Don’t stop at the building; tell the story of the surrounding area. Add data like traffic counts or visibility, demographics and income stats, and proximity to highways, airports, or retail hubs/

With Crexi PRO, you can add these insights directly into the listing to show why the location matters. These extras can set your listing apart in a competitive market.

6. Add a Strong Call-to-Action

Want more leads? Make sure your listings tell visitors exactly what to do.

Effective CTAs include:

  • “Schedule a Tour”
  • “Request Offering Memorandum”
  • “Contact Broker”

Check that all buttons are active and contact information is current. A strong CTA is one of the most important drivers when it comes to knowing how to get more leads on commercial real estate listings.
