Why should I advertise with you?
We think you should advertise with us as we bring a fresh approach and new energy to marketing Central America real estate. All our listings are marketed worldwide via the internet to give your listing as wide a reach as possible. We target people searching for second homes, investment property, business opportunities, lifestyle changes and retirement options from anywhere in the world. Our presentation is sharp and professional, making your property look as good as possible to the buyers that see it. We also offer very competitive rates compared to other websites and alternative forms of advertising. Perhaps most importantly, we do not charge commission on any sale, which can potentially save you thousands of $$$$$
What makes you different?
Apart from our fresh and focused, No Commission, No Contract, More Savings approach, our concentration on Central America makes us a natural focal point for anyone searching for in-region real estate. We are also independent of any realty company so offer properties from both the private and commercial sectors. Through our advertising partners, we also aim to be a comprehensive source of information on the goods and services currently available, making planning for prospective investors that much easier.
Other websites have higher Search, Alexa and Page rankings etc. Would I not be better listing with them?
Establishing a coherent online marketing strategy for a property is more than simply listing with websites that appear on the first page of the search engines or have impressive online statistical metrics. Of greater importance, is to engage the services of a company that understands the strengths of the item you are selling, can highlight those strengths appropriately and then attract potential customers.
We have a different approach to many of our competitors by focusing on specific geographical and featured themes while leveraging our appeal to third party content providers. By taking this route however, we are unlikely to ever achieve the ratings and rankings of the big websites because of the way we are structured.
Rather than making things bigger by grouping everything together for the benefit of a 'parent' website, we try to make things smaller and more focused for the good of our advertisers. By then subsequently cross-marketing within our group, to extend our reach and enhance exposure, the end result is just as effective but the route taken achieve it was less congested.

By then subsequently cross-marketing within our group, to extend our reach and enhance exposure, the end result is just as effective but the route taken achieve it was less congested.
It is this approach which allows us to offer compelling audio/visual presentations and positioning directly on our homepage for a fraction of the cost of the big players. We are a niche marketing group which will certainly benefit as our online profile increases, but because of our dynamic and flexible organizational structure, we are being effective now through our innovative marketing techniques.
An example of one of these techniques is that our audio visual slideshow presentations promoted on YouTube and facebook are often highlighted by third party aggregators such as AOL and extensively promoted through their networks for FREE! While this exposure may not be credited back to our website via our online metrics and search results, it certainly exposes our advertisers' properties to a targeted audience which is essentially what we are here to do.
Online statistical metrics are the established means to quantify conventional effectiveness which is both their strength and limitation. By their very nature they can encourage variety and innovation to be compromised in order to rank highly making them less useful for measuring an unconventional approach regardless of its effectiveness.
We believe we can achieve more for our customers through variety and innovation rather than following everyone else and this is the route we are taking.
Why do you not provide traffic statistics?
Industries like to have a measure of some sort in order to be able to compare this with that. The online advertising industry is no different. The most popular measure adopted for comparison between websites is their site traffic, or in simpler terms, the number of people that visit. Generally, the higher the traffic a website receives the better the advertising venue it is perceived to be. While traffic is an important factor it is not necessarily the most important in every case. Many listing websites know boosting traffic will likely bring them more business and therefore they specifically cover many countries, perhaps include chat forums, add lots of soundbite articles, etc. In the case of Central America property, while a specific website might attract a large amount of traffic overall, only a small percentage of it may be directed to the Central America section. In contrast, 100% of our traffic is directed at the Central America section! Since we do not believe traffic statistics to be a meaningful comparative method in relation to our style of listing, we prefer to explain about the factors that we do consider important, maintain a quality website and let our customers make up their own minds.
Can you guarantee me a sale if I advertise with you?
We wish we could. What we can guarantee however, is our efforts to market your property in a professional manner and to try and attract as many potential buyers to our website to view it.
Do you charge any hidden fees?
No. All our fees are upfront. You will always know about any charges we intend to make before you agree to pay them. We charge no commission on any sale
Will I be automatically recharged when my subscription ends?
We know your budget is important so we specifically make a point of not automatically recharging you once your subscription ends. We will contact you before your subscription expires and offer you the opportunity to renew should wish to do so.
I am having difficulty writing my advertisement. Can you help?
No problem. Just send us as much information in bullet-point form including the best photos you have and we will draft it for you
I am not really sure which would be the best option for me. Can you help?
Sure. Just send us details and a few photos of your property and what you are trying to achieve and we will make some suggestions. Rest assured, we will suggest the most appropriate option in our opinion, not necessarily the most expensive!
Can you invoice me directly?
Yes. If you send us your advertising information and tell us what you would like to subscribe to, we will tally everything up and send you an invoice for payment detailing the individual charges.
Can I use the page address of my listing in other advertising that I am doing?
Yes you can. The page address of your listing will remain live for as long as your subscription is valid. For greater professional impact, you might want to consider having a dedicated website that exclusively lists your property. Our WebpagePlus+ option provides this possibility.
