Client Comments

This is what one property owner, Sam Hall, has to say about the various different ways of advertising a rental home: "The chief benefit of Internet advertising, as opposed to a classified ad for example, is that I can impart all the information I can think of about the property plus photographs in one go.  Even with a quarter page ad you can't do that! So by advertising on the Internet you are: (a) getting a good deal price wise (b) saving time and therefore money by not having to answer enquiries about the property.  I've found that people rarely ask for more details because everything is on my property web page.  They simply want to know how to transfer the money etc.  So in terms of time-saving, money and effort it's a huge benefit.  Also, of course, if I were to advertise in newspapers or magazines, I'd have to select one: so do I go for tennis magazines, golf magazines, fishing magazines, vacation magazines or what? I could end up with ads all over the place - at huge expense.  And for how long could I advertise? Certainly not for a year! I'd be broke in no time.  Set against that, I can have a web page with pictures and all the information anyone could need on the Internet and thus worldwide for a year.  In the past three months I have had enquiries from Maine, California, as well as England, Scotland and Norway.  I couldn't have reached any of those through 'normal' advertising."
