Why don't you charge by the word to advertise on the site? |
| |
|
| |
| The original and still the main premise behind the site is
the efficient use of
your time. We want you to provide a description of your property so detailed
that your potential tenant will have all of your information and decide if your
property fits their needs before they contact you. |

Should I expect a lot if inquires about my property when I advertise with
you? |
| |
|
| |
| Maybe. Our goal is not to get you a lot of inquiries, only good ones. Our
philosophy is to give potential tenants as much information and visuals about
your property (as well as your policies) and let them decide if the property is
what they are looking for. |

Is there a discount if I have pictures of my property and send them to
you to use on the site? |
|
|
|
| |
| Sorry, there is no discount. And honestly, we prefer to take the pictures.
Our goal is to help you lease your property and pictures are one of the best
tools to so. (remember that "a picture is worth a thousand words" saying?) We
pride ourselves on the quality of our photography and our attention to detail. |

Is there a limit to the number of pictures that can be posted with my ad? |
|
|
|
| |
| Not really. Our goal is to properly represent your property to potential
tenants. We will include pictures of all appropriate rooms and of the exterior. If your
property has many unique details that warrant emphasis, we recommend using a
featured property listing. |

How long does it take the typical property to lease on your site? |
| |
|
| |
| Unfortunately we don't have statistics on that issue. Some move quick, some take
longer. We recommend listing your property up to 3 months in advance if
possible. Not because we think it is going to take that long to lease but
because many people searching our site are looking well in advance. |

Can I use Suburban-Rentals to sell my property? |
| |
|
| |
| Yes and no. We are not here to list properties for sale. We recommend getting
a realtor. But we can provide you some tools to effectively market your property
should you decide to do it on your own. We post some listings of properties for
sale for our customers that use our photography and video services. Call us for
more details. We also provide photography and video services for realtors to use
on their own web sites as well as give them and their properties additional
exposure on our site. |

How much traffic does your site get? |
| |
|
| |
| Currently I am quoting averages at over 1000 hits per day. But after the
first of the year it has been more like 1200-1600 hits per day. We have even had
a few days that have been over the 2000 mark. I can provide more detailed
information such as how much traffic a particular area gets by your request.

What is the difference between a regular classified listing and a Featured
Property Listing? |
| |
|
| |
| A Featured Property Listing is basically an online brochure on your property
that will give your place more exposure on our site and a tool that you can use
in many different ways. (See
current examples here) Because it will have a specific web address you can you
can direct individuals directly to your property page without going through the
entire web site. There are many advantages to this type of ad. Feel free to
contact us for guidance. Our goal is to help you effectively market your
property and keep the vacancies down. |

Can I advertise properties that are in areas not listed on the
Suburban-Rentals
web site? |
| |
|
| |
| Yes. If you have a property that is
Suburban area
in an area that
does not have a classified page on our site, we will create on for you. If you
have a property fits inside the Metro area, we will post it on our affiliate
site, www.Metro-Rentals.com. If
you have a property that is not appropriate for either site either because of
location, demographic, or condition, and you are listed as a Featured Owner on
our site, it may be listed on your individual page. |

What are the advantages to being
listed as a Featured Owner on the site? |
| |
|
| |
| Pricing is one. We discount our listing rates and services for Featured
Owners. Exposure is another. You'll be listed in multiple pages on our site and
a link to your individual page will appear in all of your classified listings.
Convenience is another. Your Featured Owner page functions just like your own
private web site. Direct people to your individual page so they may access your
information without them having to
go through the entire Suburban-Rentals web site. |

I don't have a lot of properties and only a few vacancies a year. Why should
I become a Featured Owner? |
| |
|
| |
| Don't just look at your advertising expense for the year. Do the math; your
annual advertising expense plus the loss of rental income due to vacancy. You'll
see the advantage. Now add in the additional utility expenses of a vacant unit.
Think about your time spent answering and returning telephone calls. By keeping
a constant presence on the web and marketing your properties months in advance
you'll keep your vacancies to a minimum. |

OK, sounds good, but I don't know where to start. What do I do? |
| |
|
| |
| Call or contact us by email. We will work with you to design a program that
works. We are not just web designers, techies, computer gurus, or a large
company willing to post anything on our site and get your advertising dollar. If
we can help you, we will. If your property is not a good fit for our site, we
will let you know that too. |
