Your golf community websites are my BEST marketing
venue. The leads are very high quality. I have
closed numerous transactions with folks who found me
on your website, and I have ongoing relationships with
many others. Please feel free to give my name as a reference
to any of the real estate agents who call you regarding
advertising on your site.

Yes, we have been monitoring the responses and are very
pleased. We also added a drop-down menu on our contact
page enabling people to note how they heard of us, and your
visitors have been selecting GCH Net every time.
The activity has been immediate and steady since
this started going out…and that is very encouraging. Thanks for
your excellent work and cooperation with our

Had a nice closing yesterday with a couple who

subscribed to your service. We like the way leads come
directly to us and the clients are all such nice people. I

Dear David and Paul,
Working with GolfCourseHome.net has been very effective for us in terms of
gaining exposure to qualified home buyers actively searching for resort real estate
online.
The proof is in the pudding – we’ve received high-quality leads that have
resulted
in real sales. Plus, you are a great group to work with – professional, creative
and
results-oriented.

Savannah Lakes Village & Golf Clubs
Lake Thurmond, South Carolina
David & Alan,
Savannah Lakes Village &
Golf Clubs has utilized the GolfCourseHome®Network
for the past two years as part of our lakefront/golf
community's online marketing media. We are consistently
impressed with the quality and value of each
lead and enjoy witnessing the gained exposure
for our community through the GolfCourseHome®Network.
Having a strong online
presence today is more important than ever before. The latest
statistics from the National Association of Realtors shows
that 77% of potential home buyers learn about a community and
their next home through online research, and we consider the
GolfCourseHome®Network
as an integral part of our community's online presence.

Represented by
Palace Realty, Inc., FL
David,
I am reluctant to write this note as I risk exposing an
extremely successful relationship to my competitors. Cliché
as this may be, I know you can’t hold a good man down and so I
will let the cat out of the bag. You have done a
fantastic job for me.
As you know, I am a real estate agent specializing in golf
course properties. I am so happy that I decided to promote the
Plantation of Fort Myers, FL, on your web site. You
delivered on your promise to build a beautiful
presentation page for the community.
Having advertised with other internet companies, I was
skeptical of your assurances as to the number and quality of
potential leads from your web site. At this point, the facts
tell the story. I received 95 leads within 30 days and a
total of 120 leads within 60 days.
More important than the number of leads
is the quality of the leads. Every email address
is valid, all the leads have complete names and addresses, and
they are looking for golf course homes.
Additionally, over 80% of the respondents provided
telephone numbers. You have provided excellent leads with
very clear channels of communication. As a bonus, 26 potential
clients have registered their personal housing preferences on my
web site.
David, I am pleased to be associated with you and your
company. I have never spent my advertising dollars more
successfully, and I am looking forward to spending more
with you when you publish Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club of
Fort Myers on your web site.

Dear David:
As a full-service marketing,
advertising and public relations agency specializing in the
golf and upscale community segment, we have long been
producing award-winning advertisements and collateral
materials.
But in the end, our clients judge us on
results, not just pretty pictures. Our job is to
generate a high volume of qualified leads that
convert to on-site tours and
ultimately sales.
Without question, the
GolfCourseHome®Network
is a key component of our media recommendations,
and becomes more valuable with every month that
passes.
It’s great to be doing business with an
online resource that understands the bottom line. Thanks
for your service, your attention to detail—and
most importantly, the continually growing results
you help us generate for the clients we represent.
Sincerely,
Tobin Spirer

Paradise
Village, Mexico
Dear David,
Once again, I find myself in the position of thanking you. We
just got word of another sale that resulted from
our buy with you!
This time, the buyer saw us on waterviewhome.net
rather than golfcoursehome,net (where as you know, we've had
success before).
The lead first came to us from you in mid-March of this year.
We've kept contact with them since then and today they purchased
a full ownership home from our client, Paradise Village in
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico--without ever visiting the property!
While I give some credit to our talented salespeople, detailed
website and good follow-through, I firmly believe a big reason
is that your sites attract serious, qualified buyers.
And not only do you reach the right people for us,
you do so quite cost efficiently. (I hesitate to
say that for fear you will raise your rates!)
As you know, we track for all
media on our schedule, not only the web-responders, but also
those who call us, and your sites regularly rank among our
lowest cost per lead and cost per sale. And the quantity
of leads has been impressive as well, and we're only six months
into our first buy with you!
All that would be reason enough to buy your network...but on top
of that you provide service that matches the best I've
ever received in my many years of buying media. Not
matter what the question or request (or what the hour I sent
it!), you were ready with a thoughtful reply immediately. It's
also a treat to have the production end of the buy be so
effortless--you handled everything, at no cost above the media
buy--and made any changes we required almost instantly.
As you know, I have already recommended that our other clients
use your network of sites...and look forward to a long
partnership with much future growth for both of us.
Thanks, David! You and your network are the best!

Hi, David,
Tom and I would like to thank you for your follow up
on this lead. Audra N. phoned me on October 22nd and
made an appointment to look at real estate on the
29th. She signed an agreement [of sale] on October
30th.
Your site [GolfCourseHome.net]
certainly got her excited enough to call us

Dear David--
Earl and I want you to know how much
we appreciate the service you are providing for us. I
believe that we were one of the early advertisers to join your
web site; and, you have no idea how much it has meant and still
does mean to us! Every day we realize even more how many
clients you have provided for our real estate business.
We have met so many wonderful people
from different countries and various states in the USA due to
our advertising on your web site. The clients who traveled the
farthest (from Iraq) have become very dear friends.
Other clients, who contacted us through
your web site, have visited our home and community from England
and South Africa. Obviously, most of our hot leads are
residents of the United States, but the variety of
locations from which these clients come proves how extensive the
coverage of www.GolfCourseHome.net is.
David, we cannot thank you enough for all
that you have done for us. We love your web site and the clients
it provides for us.
Keep up the good work. We could not
ask for better publicity!! Thanks again.

I am contacted by numerous
media sales representatives each week. I am almost always
skeptical and thoroughly investigate each opportunity in order
to get the best return on our marketing investment.
David Lott at
GolfCourseHome.net was one of the most persistent sales reps I
have ever crossed paths with. However it wasn't just his
persistence that got me to participate. It was also the
good quality program he had put together.
Since we began participating
in golfcoursehome.net about 18 months ago, the site has
delivered more than 1,000 real estate leads for
our community, including click-throughs to our web site,
individual alert leads and bonus leads.
The more leads we get,
the more sales result. And the cost-per-lead
was very affordable when compared to the results
of other more traditional advertising we were using. Thanks
GolfCourseHome.net!

Alan,
Thanks for the follow-up as to how
GolfCourseHome.net is performing for Del Webb's Spruce Creek
Country Club. Our community leads, traffic and sales reflect
Internet as the top 1 or 2 for each during the first and second
quarters of 2004.
Third-party sites are undoubtedly driving
traffic to our own URL, making the Internet not only one of
our top lead sources, but also one of our least expensive
advertising mediums. We registered 56 new leads directly
from GolfCourseHome.net during the second quarter of 2004
alone, with many more clicking through to register themselves on sprucecreek.com.
Thanks again for your terrific efforts,

Point, South Carolina
Hi
Dave:
Just wanted to tell you we will be getting our first sale
from a lead you provided us on GolfCourseHome.net back on
May 28th. Curt & Kay Seymour were looking for a
private club and had visited many other properties before
coming to Haig Point on Daufuskie and falling in love with homesite
#579.
They
will close on their homesite on August 1st, sale price $415,000.
Tom and I
would like to take this time and say, Thank you! After
all the hard work of working the many leads you have provided
us, someone fell in love with this unique island. His
wife, Kay, said she knew right away when she got off the boat,
that she thought Haig Point was special.
Again, many thanks,

Dear Alan (VP Sales,
GolfCourseHome.net):
I want to let you, and all
those involved at GolfCourseHome.net, know that the addition
of your sites is turning out to be a significant addition to
our web site marketing program.
In just 10 weeks, we
have received 60 leads directly from our page on
GolfCourseHome.net and its companion site, WaterViewHome.net.
In addition more than 230 visitors to our page have clicked
through to our own web site. We've also received another
25-35 prospect names via your newsletter, New Community
Alert.
Many of these leads have
proved to be well-qualified prospects ad have resulted
in visits, or planned visits, to the property. While it is
still early, it appears that at least two sales are pending.
The GolfCourseHome.net
Marketing Program is, by far, the best web marketing
support that we have experienced, and at the most
efficient rate to boot!

your efforts on our behalf. We look forward to working with
you in 2005!

FYI-
The Newton's purchased a golf course homesite (but
they're not golfers) and will probably be building in the next

Dear

Thanks
so much. I just came back from dinner in Cape Charles with
Barbara and John Savidge, the ones who wrote to you, and
prompted your call to us.
They
took a tour today with our sales staff and then met me at the
Harbor Grille for dinner. They were as delightful a couple as
you'd ever want to meet. They had two homes
picked out
and were deciding between two of our villages.
Thanks
for helping us prevent the loss of valuable prospects like
these. We're setting in motion better data management systems

Dear David:
Thank you for the fantastic
presentation you have given The Hamlet Country Club on your
site. I was thoroughly pleased with the smooth set-up of our
page and how easy it was to translate my material to you. You
were a delight to work with and the installation effortless.
Since having our presence on
GolfCourseHome.net, my prospect file is nearly an inch
thick from e-mail requests via
GolfCourseHome.net. Phone calls and e-mails started
pouring in within the first two days. I was
amazed.
Although we have our own
company web site, most prospects are finding out about us
through GolfCourseHome.net since, apparently, you have
stronger search engine capabilities. Thank goodness for
you, otherwise we might not be found at and considered.
I have no hesitation
extending my agreement with you and would highly
recommend your company to anyone interested in
generating leads.
It's been a pleasure.
