Unique Homes
The vast majority of our tenant clientele are from the internet.
Advertisers will miss them if they don't advertise in the internet.
Newspaper advertisements in the Straits Times will remain the main source
of listings but they can't be read by overseas expats as they last at the
most one day.
An example of a typical expat email enquiring about Singapore housing is
given below.
EMAIL FROM A SURFER
Aug 9, 2000.
Dear Judy,
First of all, congratulations for a great Internet site which has already been of great
help for me. I am a (European) who is relocating to Singapore September 1 this year.
I look for at least 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, kitchen, living room and maybe another
room. I would also love to have a balcony and live in a quiet and green area of town.
I have visited a friend who lives in a walk-up, some kind of an old warehouse or photo
studio - one big room. This was quite nice.
Then I came across your site and that inspired me a lot. Particularly, the section
with Unique Homes gave
some ideas:
1. conservation, Niven Road shophome or heritage shophomes.
2. conservation, Niven Road shophome terrace houses.
3. Unique architecture - Townhouses.
My friends have also told me that those kind of homes would suit me well being a
"marketing and advertising person". This would leave much more room for
creativity and personal style than the modern living houses, condo's etc.
The latter ones might be suitable for me but I just have a feeling that the above ones are
much more a picture of the true Singaporean heritage.
I am therefore preferably looking for a charming place like the ones above,
an old warehouse, shop house, photo studio etc. It most be relatively close
to the center. I will be working in Suntec City I would like to have some greenery
around and it most be quiet - at least not noisy.
I hope this gives you an initial idea and maybe we can work together to focus my
requirements.
Do you have photos that you can email to me of some of the options? I very much appreciate
your help in advance. Thanks! Any other sources that you would suggest?

Landlord & Realtors: Why advertise in asiahomes.com?
ASIAHOMES.COM IS RANKED IN THE TOP 10 POSITIONS IN SEARCH ENGINES.

A search
engine is a giant database that lists sites on the Internet. You access
the database when you enter keyword searches and receive a list of
relevant sites.
Search
sites are the Internet's Yellow Pages.
Think of
a search engine as a giant, automated version of the yellow pages. If you
need information on "party planning" from the yellow pages,
there are several steps to retrieving it.
- Go to the yellow pages
and look under the alphabetized subject list for "party."
- Note the
subcategories: "party planning" "party -
children's", "party - rental equipment", and so on.
- Examine the companies
listed under "party - planning" and decide which company
best meets your needs.
You can repeat this
process online using a search engine.
Search
Engines Versus Search Directories.
People
use both search engines and directories without ever realizing there is a
difference between the two.
- Directories (Yahoo,
LookSmart) have human editors who review web pages, rank them, and
then organize them into categorized lists with brief descriptions. The
categories and descriptions are based on submissions, but are edited
by professional editors (real people in the loop reviewing the sites
being submitted).
- Search Engines
(AltaVista, Excite, Google) have automated programs called spiders
that index sites and score pages based on proprietary guidelines.
There is no human judgment involved. Search engines index all the
information on all the Web pages they find. The indexes are generated
automatically, based on the words and phrases that are found on Web
pages.
What is a
Search Engine?
Search
engines send automated computer programs (called robots or spiders) to
crawl the Internet in search of Web pages. Basically these spiders follow
links to travel from URL to URL. When they visit your Web site, the robot
indexes (or records) the text of your page or pages (if it is a deep
crawling spider) and stores it in the search engine's index. Later, when a
user enters a search query at the search engine's Web site, the search
engine scans Web pages in its index for pages that provide the best match.
The search engine spider is supposed to be able to find all the sites on
the Internet.
Traffic you receive from search
engines is already targeted. Visitors arriving at your site from
search engines have entered a keyword relevant to your site, so they are
already interested in your product or service. This is the best source of
potential customers you can have.
Search engines are the
number one way users find new sites. Surveys show that over 85%
of users rely on search engines to locate information on the
Web.
Search engines are
free to users and users know where and how to use them.
As asiahomes.com does well on the sites listed below, it will probably do
