1)
A. Yes! Some of our clients have been quite Internet-savvy, but most have
very little Internet experience. We are happy to work with you and answer
all of your questions, just give us a call or send an e-mail.
2)
A. For Internet images, please scan them at 72 dpi and save them as a jpg
or tiff file. We will resize and sharpen your images as necessary.
3)
A. Absolutely! The more information that can be provided to us the better
your ad will present itself. We can rework your sentences and change the
paragraph order. Just take a first stab at it and send us what you come
up with. If we need clarification or more information, we will contact you.
4)
A. Studies have reported that 90% of Internet searches are from only a handful
of search engines. We submit to the top 12 search engines such as Google,
Yahoo, MSN, AOL Search, Overture, etc. Submitting your page to search engines
will give you "targeted" search results. For example someone interested
in "Cape Cod beachfront property" can search on that phrase to
zero in.
5)
A. When you write the text for your page, please keep in mind what you think
others will search on to find your property. Include those keywords in your
text. "Lakefront home", "Virginia horse property", "Charlotte,
North Carolina residence", etc.
6)
A. There are many factors that go into making a property appealing. There
are many variables involved in closing the deal. We will create an appealing
Internet presentation for you to use. How long will it take to sell? We
have no way to answer that question just as the local newspaper couldn't
answer the same question if you advertised with them.
7)
A. That is a difficult question to answer. Some of our clients only use
our services as a short-term advertising campaign. Even as short-term as
one month. Others stay on until the house is sold. Some people don't report
back to us that they have a contract or sale until we remind them that their
ad is coming up for renewal. Since we are not directly involved in the day-to-day
activities of the sellers, we are not always informed of their status.
8)
A. It is beneficial to the seller to use all of the advertising that is
available, both Internet and traditional advertising. The more exposure
that you can get, the more prospects you can reach. Use your Internet web
address in all of your traditional advertising and hold a virtual "open
house" 24 hours a day.
9)
A. There are several very good reasons for Internet advertising.
Economics- It is very inexpensive to advertise on the Internet. You
have plenty of space to fully describe your property and include several
pictures.
Availability - Prospects can "visit" your property any
time night or day.
Consumer Expectations - Internet usage has increased at staggering
rates over the past few years and it is becoming more and more common for
consumers to turn to the Internet to find what they want.
Exposure- The Internet is a worldwide medium.
10)
A. Typically, once all of your information is received your page will be
completed and available for your inspection within 2-3 days.
11)
A. We are customer-focused at fsbosites.com. E-mail us with your changes
and we will take care of it, usually on the same day.
