Question 1: |
What is the difference between the
Quik-Info.com
and the Quik-Homes.com websites? |
|
Answer: |
www.Quik-Info.com
is
our Online Business Directory that displays
local businesses along with their street address
and telephone number. This directory also has
links to numerous business websites and email
addresses.
Quik-Info.com
also supplies other information for the
local communities, including shopping links,
weather and news reports and much more!
Quik-Homes.com is our
premium online "Real Estate"
classifieds website. This website enables
the local real estate agents to promote and
display their home listings at very affordable
rates.
 |
|
|
Question 2: |
Is www.Quik-Homes.com better than
the other real estate listing
service companies? |
|
Answer: |
Quik-Homes.com isn't necessarily better than any
other real estate listing service. What makes Quik-Homes.com
so beneficial is that it has been developed "primarily"
for the southern Ohio communities and not the
entire USA.
We
at
Quik-Homes.com believe that it is always
more favorable
to have your home listings posted to as many
Real Estate websites that is economically
possible for
your business. This opens more
possibilities for increase sales.
This is one of the
motivating factors behind our low costs and
fees. Check out our rates and you will see
that we have made our services affordable to
all businesses, large and small. These low
costs should enable any business to use
Quik-Info
and Quik-Homes.com along with their
existing website and other real estate home
listing services.
 |
|
|
Question 3: |
Why should we list our homes on www.Quik-Homes.com
when we already have our own website for displaying
our home listings? |
|
Answer: |
www.Quik-Homes.com gives your business another
gateway/portal to publicize your home listings.
As we stated before we believe that the more opportunities
there are for perspective customers (buyers &
sellers) to view your real estate listings - whether
it be through your own website, Quik-Homes.com
or some other home listing services - the greater your
potential for increasing your sales.
 |
|
|
Question 4: |
Is it necessary for us to have our own
website or web page? |
|
Answer: |
No,
it's not necessary to have your own website, but
having a web presence does have some business advantages. An
online
website or at lease a single web page that
displays your business info, street address,
email address and phone number, etc. can be a great help
for those website visitors that are browsing the
real estate
listings. These perspective customers may
want to know more about your company and
possibly how to contact you for additional
information. This business web page
provides this information and gives your company
a professional look.
 |
|
|
Question 5: |
If my business doesn't have a website or web
page on the WWW, what will it cost for
Quik-Info.com
to create a web page for me
and have it available for website visitors to
view? |
|
Answer: |
Currently we have a "Special Offer" and will create a business
web page at no cost to you when
you subscribe to one of our Business Plans (Deluxe,
Coupon, Dealer or Real Estate).
The
cost to have this business web page displayed and linked on
Quik-Info.com
and available on the World-Wide-Web
is just $24.00 to $36.00 a year, depending
upon which
Quik-Info
Business Plan you select. Website visitors will be able to view your
business information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365
days a year.
Yes,
the $24 to $36 a year is correct! You
can have your business web page online for less
than a dime day!
 |
|
|
Question 6: |
If we already have a website of our own on
another company's server, what will it cost to
have a link to it from the
Quik-Info.com
Online Business Directory website? |
|
Answer: |
The
fee to have your existing website
linked
from your primary business category listing
in the
Quik-Info.com
website is just $6.00 per
year.
You
may also want multiple business category listings and
links. Each additional category listing
for your business is $6.00 per year and can
include a
link to your existing website.

Question 7: |
Do we have to sign up for your $24.00 per
year Real Estate
Business Plan and have a business web page
created before we can list our homes on www.Quik-Homes.com? |
|
Answer: |
No.
We are not requiring real estate companies to
subscribe to our Real Estate Business Plan or
our Link Plan before they are permitted to
post/list their home listings on Quik-Homes.com.
You can just
contact us stating that you want to
"Activate" an account and we will get you
started.
Basically to get started, (activate an account),
all you have to do is
contact us that
you want to list your homes on the
Quik-Homes.com Classifieds and then fill out the
"Account
Set-up" form. This way we will have the
correct information so we can "flag" the billing
notifications that should be credited back to
your account during your "Start-Up/Activation"
period.
 |
|
|
Question 8: |
We already have a existing website, do we
still have to sign up for your $6.00 per year
"LINK PLAN" to be able to list our homes on www.Quik-Homes.com? |
|
Answer: |
No.
We are not requiring real estate companies, even
those that have existing websites, to subscribe
to our Real Estate Business Plan or our Link
Plan before they are permitted to post/list
their home listings on Quik-Homes.com.
Just
contact us stating that you want to
"Activate" an account and we will get you
started.
Basically to get started, (activate an account),
all you have to do is
contact us that
you want to list your homes on the
Quik-Homes.com Classifieds and then fill out the

Set-up" form. This way we will have the

period.

|
Question 9: |
You say that all the "initial" home listings
are posted/uploaded for free when we
"Start-up/Activate" our account. What does
this really mean? |
|
Answer: |
This
simply means that all the real estate listings
you have contracts on when your account with us
is started (Activated) can be posted and uploaded to Quik-Homes.com
at no cost.
Please note that the Quik-Homes.com
"Classifieds Program" will automatically bill
you $5.00 for each Home Ad posted when you enter
a new Ad, even these "initial/start-up" listings.
This auto billing function cannot be by-passed
since it is a built-in feature of our
classifieds program.
We
will manually credit your account $5.00 for each
of these "initial" start-up Home Ad listings
that you get billed for (we also receive a copy
of all your billing notifications).
 |
|
|
Question 10: |
How
am I invoiced for my "new" home ads that I
post/upload to the
Quik-Homes.com website after my
"start-up/activation" period is over? |
|
Answer: |
The
Quik-Homes.com "Classifieds Program" will
automatically bill you $5.00 for each new home
ad you upload/post by
automatically sending you an email message (billing
notification) to the email address that you have
listed in your Account Profile.
You
should print and retain a copy of these billing
notifications/invoices for later verification. Our procedure is
to examine and group these individual billing
notifications/invoices from your posting/uploads
throughout the month (we also receive a copy of
your invoice via email).
At
the end of each month we
will send you a Monthly Statement
reflecting all the "new" ads that you
posted/uploaded that month. You should
then verify your "billing
notifications/invoices" against our Monthly
Statement. If you discover any
inaccuracies you should
contact us.
 |
|
|
Question 11: |
Do I
need to have a ".com" (Domain Name) for my
business before using
Quik-Info.com
or Quik-Homes.com? |
|
Answer: |
While having a ".com" has it's marketing
advantages, it's not necessary for you to have a
domain name before using Quik-Homes.com or the
Quik-Info
Online Business Directory websites.
Please note that currently for just $12.00 per year,
Quik-Info
can acquire a
Domain Name
(.com, .net) for your business.
This option is available to all of our Deluxe, Coupon,
Dealer and
Real Estate
Business Plan subscribers. Your domain name (.com,
etc.) will be redirected to your
Quik-Info web page(s).
 |
|
|
Question 12: |
There
appears to be a lot of data that gets entered
into the computer for each "new" home listing
ad. Do you have a worksheet or something
that will help us get the information grouped together
for data inputting? |
|
Answer: |
Yes,
we do have a worksheet that can be printed out.
You can find this worksheet in our
Real Estate Client Support
area. After you print out a hardcopy of the
worksheet you can then pencil in the information
for the "new" home listing you have.
Having the information for the individual homes
ready for data entry before you sit down at the
computer to do the actual upload over the
"internet" to the Quik-Homes.com website,
will make it easier.
 |
|
|
Question 13: |
Do I
have to Register for an Account and get a
Username and Password to view the ad listings? |
|
Answer: |
No.
You don't need to Register to view any of the
classified ads. You only need to Register
for an account if you want to "Place" an ad.
 |
|
|
Question 14: |
What
are the steps required in order to "post" and
"upload" a home listing (create
"Place" an Ad)? |
|
Answer: |
- Register for
an account if you do not already have one.
It does not cost anything to get registered.
But, you must have a Username and Password
before you can Log On to the program.
Please be
sure to use your correct email address.
The classifieds program will automatically send
you some important messages via the email
address you provide.
- To place an
ad in the Quik-Homes.com program, go into
the classifieds program and "click" on the Place Ads
link located in the menu bar.
- If you
haven't Logged On to the program yet, it
will ask you to do so.
- After you
are finished Logging On you will be sent to
the "Post a New Ad" screen.
- Fill out all
the applicable Data Entry Fields.
- After you
get everything typed in and you preview your
ad and decide it's okay to post, go ahead
and do so. After you post the ad you will
be able to upload your photos.
- You can
upload up to 10 photos to your ad listing.
These photos cannot be larger than 300
pixels high by 500 pixels wide when you go
to upload them. The program will refuse
them if they are larger than the 300 x 500
size and/or larger than 60,000 bytes. The photos will be displayed on the
Classified Ad as "thumbnails", but when they are
"clicked" they enlarge to the 300 x 500 size.
- You should
now be finished. Remember that you can go back and
"Edit" an AD that you have
previously created at any time.

Question 15: |
Do I
need to have a computer and Internet access to
have my home listings on www.Quik-Homes.com? |
|
Answer: |
No.
You don't need to have a computer or Internet
access. As long as you have access to a
Fax Machine we can update the information for
you. Our Fax Number is Toll Free so you
won't even incur any long distance charges.
Just use our
REAL ESTATE LISTING
"INPUT" WORKSHEET to fill out the
home listing information (number of baths,
bedrooms, price, etc.) and Fax the worksheet to
us. We'll post the home listing to the
Quik-Homes.com website. We'll have to
decide what is the best method for displaying
your home's pictures for each ad if you do not
have computer or Internet access.
