LocalHost
Frequently Asked Questions...
Q: Is this setup outside or inside the home?
A: The unit sits inside the home. The only requirement is an electrical outlet and protection from the elements (i.e no rain, direct sun or freezing temperatures). The unit is safe and silent it will not distract or even be noticed by anyone in the house once it has been setup. completely silent. It won't bother your sellers. The Talking House yard sign tells people to "tune in".
Q: Will people call if I am giving them information for free via the WiFi connection?
A: The tire kickers may not call - but that is a saving of your time. You provide enough information to 'hook' the serious buyers remember this is your 'web site' and you control the buyer experience - they see only what you feel is important. The prospects that would have driven by your house wondering if it was worth a look, can become very motivated when you provide the information that they need, at their convenience, without having to knock on your door or call you first. The DigitalBeat Localhost solution turns the potential drive-by into a motivated prospect. Once they have taken your virtual tour they are far more likely to call you now that they know more about your house.
Q: Is this easy to use?
A: Yes. DigitalBeat does all of the LocalHost configuration and web site setup before we ship the unit to you. You setup the unit in less than 5 minutes if you have never done this before - If you have installed the unit before and dont need to read the instructions then setup is well under 1 minute.
Q: Do I need a license?
A: No. This is a consumer electronic device.
Q: Can I use more than one unit at a time?
A: Yes. But you should let us know this when you order the equipment so that we ensure the units have unique ids (We normally assign your street address as the ID which makes it obvious to potential buyers where to connect to. Duplicate ID's will still work but would make it difficult to select a specific unit in operation (if your property is fairly large, the units are more than 300 feet apart, or you don't need to specify a specific unit in operation then you do not even need to tell us this).
Q: How come I don't see or hear more about DigitalBeat LocalHost?
A: The DigitalBeat LocalHost is a new technology product and service. We initiallyy started marketing this directly through real estate agents but frankly most agents aren't interested in doing anything new and we were spending far too much time on technology education than on actual selling. We decided to go directly to the FSBO market and through the power of the internet to the subset of FSBOs that already understand the technology and see the benefits. We are growing, so while the DigitalBeat LocalHost won't be on every block overnight we expect that you will see and hear more about us in the futur. Wireless FSBO marketing, like the internet is the wave of the future.
Q: Can I also use a sign?
A: Absolutely - we have sign "name-riders" that we can send you (on request) that get people to notice.
Q: Can I call with questions?
A: Absolutely, our contact information is on every page - please feel free to call or email.
