If you are thinking of using www.pin.ca to advertise your real estate investment opportunity, we can guarantee one thing...

..
...Your buyer is listening to our advertising on the radio or reading a newspaper with our advertising in it. 
Are you going to make it easy for them?

I am going to give you the list of references I dug out recently for a fellow who wanted to sell a gift shop here in Victoria. 

For reference:

  1. Maria Manna. We found a Toronto area buyer for Maria Manna Life Spa. Maria Manna’s Cellular is (phone number available upon request)  Maria actually had people fly in from Florida to view.

  2. We also sold a hair salon for a friend of hers, (Bella Hair Salon) Judy Burgess Phone = (phone number available upon request)

  3. You could also call Marion Clare. Her home (phone number available upon request)  
    Marion sold both of her local businesses thru us: (they were a tough sell and it took over 2 years)
    Wedding and Dreams (wedding planning business)
    Illusions and Themes (event business)

  4. The Pantry Restaurant on Douglas Street sold a couple of months ago off our site. The old owner’s name is Iain MacArthur (phone number available upon request) connieand487@aol.com.  Ian got a terrific deal.  He took advantage of our half price offer and paid everything upfront. The Pantry sale took about 16 months.5) Sue (phone # available upon request)  from Adrian’s Hair Designs just called me October 18th and said she was sending a cheque. Sue’s was a very small business but it sold to a fellow from Toronto. This sale took about 3 months.(6) Update November 1, 2005 - Alan Farness from Maple Leaf Gifts Victoria, BC listed with us week of October 26th  and had response from California, Toronto and Regina in week 1 (See email at bottom of page).

Our visibility is growing all the time as we are constantly buying more media. The clients we dealt with 2 years ago are getting much more promotion now than when they signed on with us. We have consistently delivered more exposure in each of the past 7 years and we expect to continue that pattern over the next 7 years.


So far we have $180,000 in radio advertising in 2005. (30K of this is in US) 
Check out our radio spot WWW.PIN.CA/RADIO


  • www.pin.ca  received 3.83 million hits in August 2005

  • 3.105 Million hits January 2005

  • 3.54 Million hits in March 2005

  • 3.20 Million hits in April of 2005

  • 40% from Canada

  • 40% from US

  • 20% from the rest of the world.

Most of what we deal with is businesses for sale and business opportunities/franchises, exposing projects which need funding.


2) PERCEIVED VALUE - The marketplace is not foolish. No matter how much advertising I do, the asking price and the words and pictures of your presentation on my site have to convey a value equal to your asking price. The prospective buyer views the pictures and reads the words. If they think the value is not there, you will get no response. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO PRICE YOUR OFFERING CORRECTLY.

We reach the marketplace. We have interested buyers looking on our website.

When you advertise with us one of 2 things will happen.

a) Your offering is of interest to the marketplace at the price you are asking and the marketplace responds.

OR

b) The marketplace may look at your offering and decide they are not interested in contacting you as they don't perceive value at the price you are asking.


3) NEGOTIATING - We are not real estate agents and we do not negotiate for you. Our job should you choose to engage us will be to advertise your opportunity to the marketplace which we do very well. If you should need help with presenting your business or explaining the value of your business, I suggest having your accountant or lawyer work with you on this aspect. FINDING A BUYER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF SELLING but you must also have a plan for dealing with the buyer.

We extend credit to you and allow you to pay us the advertising fee from proceeds of sale. All we require is that we can ensure payment as we spend hundreds of thousands in advertising each year and have to be able to recoup those expenditures. Our advertising fee is set at the start and is not dependent upon any particular sale/price being achieved. 

We have been at this for 7 years. Our growth rate increases each year. We work on a “gather and funnel” principle. We attract/gather the opportunity seeker as they look thru the USA Today, Globe and Mail, Vancouver Sun, Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Winnipeg Free Press, Business in Vancouver, Western Investor Etc. We attract/gather the opportunity seeker as they find us thru the papers, television or the search engines. Once they find us we funnel them into our listings on the Pin Website. 

If you go to Google the biggest search engine in the world and type in almost anything we come up.

You will find we are at or very near the top on hundreds if not thousands of searches on Google and other search engine searches. Once someone finds our website they generally return as we have earned their respect and have real opportunities available for every size and taste.


BOTTOM LINE: 
We reach the marketplace better than any other way I know.

Hi Eric
Just to let you know that we have sold Illusions & Themes, completing today.  Local company Commonwealth Special Events has done a takeover. Took a long while but we got there in the end. 
You probably heard the cheering! 
Thank you so much for all your help and your excellent site.  We will certainly recommend you to anyone who needs your services.
All the best for your future endeavours.
