Local Results Your Customers TrustLocal Results Your Customers Trust

• Once this resident decides which restaurant she’ll visit tonight, she calls the restaurant to book a coveted table. Your search engine empowers residents to self-discover their needs.

• Consumers are more educated than ever. By making the decision to live at your property, they’ve demonstrated their trust in you. Now, you can build on that trust by offering repeatable benefits from the relevant results your search engine offers.

Because your search engine is built to provide only relevant community and lifestyle results, the results are on-target, every time.

Makes you more money

Builds and protects your brand

““Why can’t we do this ourselves?”Why can’t we do this ourselves?”

• Property Centric will work with you to strategize deployment in one major metro market to start. We will build a search database that is exclusively yours, filled with 3000+ of the best businesses in the area, hand-entered by our staff. – This is far more useful than compiling a few local business links and

adding them to a static HTML page.– The hundreds of hours necessary to build the engine alone is generally

impossible for property management companies to allocate resources to. – During our growth phase, we are building engines significantly below

cost; we only profit if the minimum 2-year contract is signed.• The uniqueness and depth of the search engine technology powered by

Vortaloptics cannot be replicated, as there are 2 patents pending for the search technology and millions invested in its development. This is a high-tech product, made simple for the client and the end user.

• Property Centric offers to become your outsourced sales staff, helping to bring local businesses in as advertisers, thereby building a revenue source for you.

• Building a truly professional resource is essential to create repeat traffic to your site. One of the core features of our product is the return visitor benefit. They’ll only return if it’s robust, relevant, simple to use and beneficial to their lifestyles.

• These are just a few reasons why choosing to outsource to the experts is the most wise and profitable decision for your company.
