France Property Shop records 100% increase in private sellers

When it was launched back in July of last year, France Property Shop gained over 1m page impressions in its first month, something of a record for a launch in the sector.

Since then, not only has the portal become a massive hit with property agents selling property in France, but more recently private sellers have been knocked out by its effectiveness in bringing buyers in at a very low cost.

France Property Shop is operated by Archant Life France, publishers of the three key monthly magazines in the France sector, French Property News, Living France and France, and as such is a very well promoted site, now attracting over 40,000 visitors per month.

Combine this highly relevant audience with a site offering possibly the best functionality in the marketplace and flexible cost packages and it is no real surprise to see that the number of private sellers on the site have increased from 600 to 1200 in the space of only ten months.

Private sellers can now choose from a number of options to promote their property; a 6 or 12 month advert, featured slots for a week or a month, and can have the option to be included on mass e-newsletter marketing too.

France Property Shop enables the seller to upload their own property details and unlimited text, unlimited photos and PDF floorplans.

It has already helped many hundreds of sellers to promote and sell their property at minimal cost, and in a very short space of time when compared with other methods of property sale.

Quotes from a few France Property Shop sellers;

"Thank you but we do not need to renew our advert, our house was sold to the first person who contacted us via our advert with you! Thank you for all your help and advice"

Peter Davies

"Just a quick note to say that I have sold the house and deleted it from your website, I have a barn to list and I will put that on this month. We received lots of enquiries and achieved the price we wanted very quickly, I have recommended your site to several other people locally who also want to sell their property privately." Barry Mogg

"We have just finalised the sale on our property which we posted with you in January - a contact via your site I hasten to add! So thank you very much again for your efficiency, and you can add us to your list of successful sales. I have recommended the site many times since." Rachel Goodwin

"We are writing to you say how pleased we are with the FPS website. The advert for our property went live on Wednesday 23rd May. Within 24 hours we started to receive enquiries. The first people to visit arrived on the Monday and they came for a second viewing on Thursday and we agreed the sale. As we said we are extremely impressed with the website as in a very short period we had many enquiries, and a sale in less than a week. Therefore, apart from our thanks can you now mark our property as SOLD. We will certainly recommend you to our friends." Mike & Loraine deRoux
