Dear Richie
The "Private Buyers - Looking for a Spanish Property for Sale" is a great idea. If it is only half a success it will mean a gigantic step forward for the Forum.
With a little promotion and some good
SEO you could have a lot of incoming traffic from private buyers and provide members with useful leads.
Now that is all very well but we are not all Alphashare clients and a lot of us will be completely eliminated.
You obviously did not mean it that way but this could be a big disadvantage for those of us who are signed up with other data providers or have small, specialised, independant websites.
I first saw it yesterday and quickly got a couple of pages ready on my site to make a presentation on the Forum, without noticing that we are not allowed to post.
I think that you should find a way to make this facility available to everyone. I know that we can all post to the "Real Estate by Area" section but this is right down at the bottom and unlikely to be seen by private buyers.
If it a question of money then I would imagine that lots of members would be prepared to pay a reasonable fee to be seen alongside the Alphashare clients.
What do other forum members think?
