1. What is an Internet Property Advertisement?
   It is a promotion of your house, condo or land is available for sale/rent using electronic means via the computers, hand-held mobile phones and personal digital assistants.
   
2. What's so good about an Internet Property Advertisement?
   The advantage is the great convenience for the prospective client in accessing the information day or night, 24 hours per day and 7 days per week (your asiahomes.com ad will be kept for 90 days).
   
   Most of the prospective expatriate tenants (Caucasian and Japanese overseas) don't have Singapore's newspapers. Locals don't read newspaper advert older than 2 days. However Internet Ads remain for 90 days and will reach an increasing number of foreign buyers of your properties doing research at asiahomes.com and elsewhere. For example:  The crazy American offering $3million for Wing On Life Garden?
   
   
3. Why should I pay to advertise in Asiahomes Internet when there are free classifieds in the Internet?
   Your advert will be read by the right type of people who are interested in Singapore property. 

   Most people will discard yesterday's newspapers.
   
   The newspaper advertisements are relatively expensive at around 3000 cents/3 lines (around 20 words). Many realtors and owners can't afford more than once a week advertisement, knowing the poor response.
   
   The website of asiahomes.com is an active one and it focuses on Singapore rental housing, attracting expatriate surfers all over the world. It has some of the latest information on the cost and quality Singapore housing in many categories such as:
   Subdivision Rentals,  House-listing Rentals
   
   A website with regularly updated Housing Research Reports on various condos and houses in Singapore attracts expats and others looking for Singapore housing. This abundant & useful local housing information that overseas expatriates and landlords need is presented in asiahomes.com.
   
   Useful information, free of charge, is illustrated in:
   3.1. Expatriates' analysis of Singapore housing reveals the thoughts of expats on Singapore Housing & Landlords. Click: Closing on a tough Dutchman
   
   3.2. Tips for relocating Expatriates present real situations and how they were handled by the expatriate Tenants.
   
   3.3  Tips for first-time Landlords discuss how to attract expatriates to rent your investment property in the shortest time to recoup your capital. There are many problem-resolving situations encountered such as:
   
   The Doctor reneging on an agreement to pay managing fee to the introducer as she deemed it a Corrupt Practice Investigation Board (CPIB)-type corrupted practice. This resistance led to the Managing Agent wanting to "Make a house-call to see the Doctor, failing which he would sue the doctor.
   
   Other common incidents, such as the frustrations of the good husband who lost many prospects due to his wife's body language, frightening all in the case of the Sulky Tai Tai.

   Your $13.50 advertisement exposes your asset 24-hour/day to people from all over the world, not just Singaporeans. Not just one day as for newspaper advertisement but 90 days.

   If you are from the baby-boomer generation, as most Property Owners are, you probably will not be interested nor believe in the marketing power of the Internet. You may think Internet is E-mail messages here and there.

   However, since most of your competitors (for Tenants) are still unaware of the power of global exposure of marketing from expatriate targeted websites such as Asiahomes Internet, you will have an added advantage while the others can think only of the Straits Times newspaper.

   More important, your "$13.50/40 words/90 days" does not cost the earth.

   A direct closing with the expatriate or any surfer looking for rental homes or purchase saves you agency commission and this may be $2,000 (for a 2-bedroom condo) to $20,000 (for bungalows).  Agency commission is 1% of the sales price and this can be at least $10,000 for a $1 million house for sale. This means an immense saving of over 100 times, considering that you pay $13.50 for an Internet Property Advertisement with Asiahomes Internet.

   We encourage you to use other free Internet classifieds to advertise and promote your property too.

   However, many websites providing free Internet Classifieds have to promote all kinds of merchandise and services, as it is extremely costly to maintain a niche website for Singapore housing.

   By diversification, they will not be able to provide the latest Singapore rental housing information, e.g.  Subdivision Rentals in asiahomes.com which researches and reports on new condos available.
   
   After a while, surfers don't go to such websites to look for Singapore housing because they lack the latest information on Singapore housing. It is extremely expensive to get writers and photographers to produce housing reports for the website as manpower costs are very high in Singapore, especially in the information technology field.
