Well-known for the Boston Tea Party and the Pilgrim settlers, the great state of Massachusetts is also home to Ahearn Realty Management, a Real Estate Property Management company located in Lakeville, Massachusetts. Owen Ahearn, owner of Ahearn Realty Management, started his Property Management Company in 1991 after having been in the Property Management field most of his adult life. Owen began his own company with one contract with the U.S. Marshal's Service. Then he discovered a niche and began managing properties for the FDIC for all of New England. From there, Ahearn Realty Management has grown into a full-service Property Management Company that specializes in managing residential, commercial, condominium and industrial properties.
Challenge
According to Owen, "I knew I needed to have a Web presence because people research everything online these days. They use the Internet more than they use the Yellow Pages. I knew I needed a Website to portray a professional, credible image to the public so that I could easily be found."
Solution
Owen turned to Network Solutions® and their Website Builder Tool and hosting products, "Network Solutions' products are easy for both the beginner and the novice. I literally had an online presence in one hour-that's how easy it was!" Owen cites the fact that the Website Builder Tool offers a variety of templates and font choices, the ability to download logos and photos, and the ease of editing a site as a few reasons why he is so excited about Network Solutions' products. "It's so easy to change my site and the remarkable part is that the changes are instantaneous. I can change it as often as I want and I don't have to pay someone to do it for me. All of this is very important in my line of work because property information can change quickly. Instead of being a task that I dread, I don't dread it because Network Solutions® has made it so easy for me!"
Result
So how have Network Solutions' products increased Ahearn Realty's bottom line? Owen said that he gets calls all the time from people who live both nationally and internationally asking his company to manage properties in the tri-state area and beyond. Owen said he realizes he never would have had that kind of exposure with a Yellow Pages® ad. States Owen, "This kind of exposure only comes with a quality, professional Internet presence."
