After a couple of weeks of experimenting, I now can announce that my Westbrook Village Real Estate website is the only site on the web featuring a property search specific to Westbrook Village with NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
The debate over whether to force prospective clients to register has raged on for several years now. Those in favor if registration believe that requiring prospects to provide an e-mail address and/or phone number helps sort out those buyers who truly are ready, willing and able to buy. Others, including myself, view the mandatory registration as a major turn-off when viewing a site. Why should I register to receive the information I can get somewhere else without the registration being required?
We're now the home to that "somewhere else." And I'm not particularly worried about the possibility of buyers looking at listings on my site and then contacting someone else when the time comes to make the purchase. Will it happen from time to time? Absolutely. But that's a chance I'm willing to take to provide a place where prospective buyers can find all the Westbrook Village homes for sale without registration.
Add the Westbrook Village real estate search with the remainder of the site, which I believe already is one of the most comprehensive sites on the Internet about Westbrook Village, and I believe we're offering a value statement that is hard to match.
For those who don't know, Westbrook Village is an active adult community in Peoria, Arizona with age limits beginning at 40 years of age and above. Westbrook boasts two championship golf courses, two full community centers and a community feel that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in the Valley these days.
