# RENTV Advertising Prospect List — Los Angeles / Southern California

**Prepared for:** Steve Bloom, CEO, RENTV.com
**Market:** LA County, Orange County, San Diego, Inland Empire, Ventura
**Goal:** Companies that *demonstrably* spend on commercial-real-estate advertising / sponsorship — firms Steve can sell RENTV ad inventory to (banner/tile ads, dedicated email blasts to ~50K CRE pros, conference & podcast sponsorships).

## How this list was built

Every name below is a real, SoCal-active company in a category that **buys CRE media** — verified against a current public source (its own site, a CRE trade outlet, or an event program). The "why they advertise" column names the specific advertising/sponsorship behavior (they sponsor Bisnow/Connect CRE events, advertise on GlobeSt/CRE Daily/CoStar, run brokerage listing campaigns, or are known CRE-media buyers). Ranking follows RENTV's stated core advertisers: **brokers → capital sources → title/escrow → owners/developers → the service tier (law, GC, proptech, appraisal)**.

Contacts are public marketing/BD channels where findable; where a named marketing contact isn't public, the general BD/marketing route (site contact page or main office line) is given. **Treat all as leads to confirm, not warm intros.**

## Notes & next steps for Steve

- **Tier-1 quick wins (rows 1–17):** brokerages + capital sources + title/escrow are RENTV's proven buyers. The title companies (First American NCS, Fidelity, Chicago, Commonwealth) and Marcus & Millichap / Kidder Mathews are the most reliable *repeat* CRE-media spenders — start there for email-blast + tile-ad packages.
- **Crexi (row 17)** is both a competitor-adjacent marketplace AND a heavy advertiser to brokers — a natural sponsor for a broker-audience product or podcast.
- **Contact caveat:** most large firms route marketing/BD through a corporate contact form or LinkedIn company page rather than a public individual email. For a sponsorship pitch, the reliable path is the SoCal office marketing/BD lead via LinkedIn or the site contact form; the phone numbers listed are verified main-office lines.
- **Coverage:** 30 prospects across brokerage (11), capital/lending (2), title & escrow (4), owners/developers (4), CRE law (3), 1031/DST (2), proptech/data (2), GC/construction (2). Expandable — banks (e.g. commercial-RE lending groups at regional banks) and appraisal MAI firms are a next-pass category.
