| In a difficult market it’s reassuring to know there is someone out there spending every hour of every day promoting your business and properties around the world. But then you should expect nothing less from a property site that has been doing just that for the last 12 years. |
 |
| So, what is it you want from a property site? |
|
I want all my properties uploaded automatically.
OK. We can do that. R.E.A.D.E.R™ is a revolutionary tool, exclusive to PropertyWorld.com, designed to scan the properties on your website or data file and copy them into your PropertyWorld.com account.
Just register for a R.E.A.D.E.R™ account and we do the rest. The initial import of your properties is usually completed within two or three days and R.E.A.D.E.R is then set to collect updates and new listings every 24 hours.
|
"I congratulate your company on the initiative of the R.E.A.D.E.R™ system and the realistic pricing you have applied to this innovation. I am delighted to see all my listings uploaded automatically with very little cost and time on my part - and the peace of mind that all changes will be picked up daily as well. Until now it has meant many hours and thousands of euros dedicated to uploading to other property portals - you are definitely laying down the gauntlet to all your competitors." Roger Swain, Grupo Mallorca Select S.L. |

I would be happy to upload my properties myself if it's simple and quick.
It certainly is. Your admin area allows you to add, edit and delete properties in your list in real time, hide the price for ‘sensitive’ listings, add as many photos and as much description as you like, import Word documents and set the layout and color scheme of your property pages. You can preview properties before they go live, hide properties temporarilly unavailable, create folders to group your properties into obvious categories, view statistics, customise the way your property pages look and access other members for co-operation.

How many properties can I list and are there any restrictions?
You can list as many properties as you like. No, really – as many as you like! Full details, multiple photos, descriptions, prices, floor plans, location maps, videos, virtual tours etc. There are no restrictions - the system has been designed to accept listings for residential, commercial, sales and rentals, businesses and vacation rentals, anywhere in the world.

I want my properties to be highly visible.
OK. We can do that. The main property search on our home page delivers properties within 2 mouse clicks. An advanced search enables people to filter results so that they only view what interests them most. We also have hundreds of thousands of ‘location specific' web pages, ie. country, region and town or village pages, and each displays the properties in that location. Properties are also displayed in partner sites, like the mega portal VAST.com and on the major search engines. Each of your properties will have a link to all your other properties to focus visitors' attention on your portfolio, and each property is featured on our home page in rotation. Our email alert system, ‘Keep Me Posted’, matches and sends details of your properties to registered applicants the same day they are listed. |

I want people to be able to contact me easily and directly.
OK. We can do that. Each property you list has an enquiry form that sends the enquirer’s contact details and request directly to your inbox. Each property also displays your telephone number, and your website link for people to directly access your site and contact you from there. In addition, we promote the use of our general enquiry form for people to send their requirements to suitable agents. Once registered you are part of this referral system for the areas you cover and the type of real estate you deal with. Enquirers can also be identified as potential vendor clients and/or mortgage leads. |
|
|
I advertise on multiple property sites but don’t have the time to add properties manually.
OK. We can help you with that. PropertyWorld.com generates a data file of your listings that can be used by most property sites to upload your properties automatically. The file is in the industry-standard XML format for accurate transfer of data between sites and updated every 24 hours. We’ll give you the link on registration and you can send it out to as many other property sites as you like.

|
I would like to display my PropertyWorld.com listings in my own website.
OK. You can do that. We generate links that enable you to view all your properties in a ‘browse all’ layout or, with a search function for people to filter your list and get straight to those of most interest. Just paste the links into your website. Many agents use this facility as their primary means of displaying their properties in their websites and, because you can determine the presentation, style and color scheme, and even add your logo, the property pages can look just like the rest of your site. See examples below.

I’ve heard that links to my website improve my position in search engines.
Does being on PropertyWorld.com help me with this?
Absolutely. For every property you list a link back to your own site is generated and, as the major search engines index the individual property pages, they see all these 'inbound links' and take them into account when deciding how high to place your site in their search results. So, the more properties you list, the more links are generated, the better the search engines rank you and the more exposure you get. |

How else can I utilise PropertyWorld.com to generate extra income?
We mentioned a little earlier that we identify vendor and mortgage leads in the enquiries that are sent to you, so straight away there are a couple of potential sources of extra income; but in addition to that, with 5,500 or so member agents around the world, we can tap into a wealth of opportunity. If you haven’t considered multi-listing before now might be the right time. You will be able to invite other members to work with you, either to offer their properties to your public or your properties to their public. And it’s all done automatically. Once you have agreed to work with another member a link is generated so you can display their properties in your website, or yours in theirs. This can be a simple and effective route to a bigger and more diverse property register or more people promoting your properties. | |

What does PropertyWorld.com do to drive viewers to my properties?
Actually, quite a bit. Certainly, after 12 years online, we have attracted something of a following; and because over 70% of property seekers use search engines we expend a great deal of effort maximising our position in them. For example, we have almost 500,000 pages indexed on Google and around 750,000 on Yahoo!. The majority of our 5,500 or so member agents display our logo in their windows, stationary, newspaper ads and websites. We also have a number of partner sites where your listings will be displayed, including the mega portal VAST.com. What we don’t do is pour millions of pounds into short-term publicity campaigns aimed at making ourselves the agent’s ‘must-have’ and then charge you a premium rate. |

Talking of rates, is membership of PropertyWorld.com expensive?
Curiously enough, no. All of the above is included in our standard subscription of Eur50, GB£40 or US$80 a month. There are no long term contracts. You can cancel at any time without penalty. We have no plans to increase our rates but, so you can plan ahead, we can guarantee your rate won’t rise for at least a year if you register now! |
