Testimonials

Williams & McDaniel would like to register their satisfaction for the web site and the level of service provided by Ecom Media and The My Ideal Home Network. We are very pleased with the results we have been achieving with our Internet presence. Additionally, your support services are excellent. We get immediate response from both Ernie and Chrystal. They have been more than supportive in helping us build the site and answer any of our questions or concerns.

Before joining the My Ideal Home Network, we had tried other online services with varying degrees of success. What impresses us most about our relationship with Ecom Media Group is that not only do we receive good advertising value, we have been provided a complete solution to all our online needs. We would not hesitate to recommend this service to other landlords and property managers.

In early summer 2004 we formalized a partnership with OCH 101 and Ecom Media Group to provide a new housing search and roommate finding service to the University of Maryland community. This collaboration has dramatically increased our capacity to serve students, landlords and property managers. Here are the reasons that OCH 101 deserves recognition as an outstanding program in support of commuters...

BCIT and I value highly the services ECOM Media Group provide us. We know our numbers are small, we're not big over all players in your business, but you do an excellent job of providing services to BCIT students and landlords, which means we can focus on our other core business operations.

...Partnership is the best word - it has truly been a two-way relationship that I beleive has benefited and contributed to the growth of both our organizations. From the outset, almost every conversation you and I have had has led to an improvement in one your or our services to residential landlords. Your credibility, commitment to the industry and seemingly endless supply of creative ideas has been consistent over the many years we have worked together...

Rental Owners & Managers Society of BC

Great pictures. Your daughter's picture really demonstrates how the fires impact EVERY level of a community. I agree, until you have been through it is hard to imagine the vast amount of emotions that exist. I am grateful that we have your company to assist us in our time of crisis. Sometimes when we as people go through times of struggle, it is dififcult to understand if any good will come from it. Your work on this project not only benefitted your community but I am sure it will benefit many communities to come! We truly appreciate your quick response in providing a valued and timely service to the San Marcos community during the devestating San Diego fire!

What a wonderful service!!!!! Thank you!!! Because of you Our house is rented for the school year 2009-2010. We list with you every year and I tell everyone how powerful this website is.

Janice and Jerome Genz, Nanaimo, BC

Hello, We haven't contacted you in almost 5 years because we've been lucky enough to have the same tenant stay for the last 5 years! Thank you for your reminders and we will certainly use your service again when our tenant moves out. Meanwhile, please keep us on your files. Regards, Loyal client.

Cita/Bryan Helkie, Silver Spring, MD

I was very impressed with your service in that I registered at 11am and found the tenant by 5 pm! Excellent! Thank you.

David Lafontaine, Nanaimo, BC

Our property has now been rented! It is amazing how many calls we got and the only place I listed it was on the Internet! We are very impressed with your website and would recommend it to everyone who has a property for rent.

Faye Sheldon, Kelowna, BC

Just to tell you that our basement suite put on your Website last week has been successfully rented today. Your listing site was instrumental.

Yves Bajard, Victoria, BC

Since putting our apartment rentals on the website, the Apartment Managers have had a fairly large increase in the number of callers looking for accommodations and, as a result, we have reduced our vacancy rates. We are more than happy with the results and would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone in the rental industry.

This website is superb for those who are landlords as well as those looking for place. This website helps people to find place quickly at the price they can afford.

Hello, my name is Dean and I just have to say your site rocks! My girlfriend and I spent a few days checking your site and ended up finding the perfect house for our roommates and us. The house we found hadn't even reached the papers yet. Now we will be swimming in our in-ground pool all summer thanks to the website. Your site was very easy to use and I urge everyone to check it out.

Dean Schiavon, Kelowna, BC

Very cool web site, I wouldn't change anything. I will be sure to let anyone I know that is looking for a place to rent to check it out.

Philip Van Tol, Kelowna, BC

My Ideal Home's website provides us with the opportunity to present colour pictures and detailed information about our buildings, this format creates a better advertisement and aids the customer in their selection process. The level of customer support given to us by My Ideal Home has also been good.

Ken Stober, Al Stober Construction Ltd., Kelowna, BC

We just wanted to let you know that your website was extremely handy in finding a house that allowed pets. We have a dog and we were having difficulty finding a house that would allow pets, especially dogs. Just by clicking on the pet's button on the site, it only showed us listing that take pets. We have never been to Kelowna so we were not familiar with the areas. The house we are moving to, had a photo and a good area description, which helped tremendously. Thanks again.

Rose Buckle, Moose Jaw, SK

I would just like to thank you for the "free trial" that your website offers. Although the "free trial" is a lost leader for your company, I do not believe that I would not have tried your website without it. My condo was listed with an agent for three months and she brought no offers to the table. Within several weeks being listed on your site my place is rented! Best of all I had more than one offer. Keep up the good work and this is an excellent site. All the best.
