What is Waterfront West?

Launched by Sharleen Kneeland (Whiteside) in May of 2006, www.waterfrontwest.com is a unique web site offering advertising to sellers of waterfront and water view properties in British Columbia. At Waterfront West, we firmly believe that the future of the internet lies in niche markets and interactivity. That is why when we came up with the concept of a site exclusively devoted to buyers and sellers of BC waterfront, we decided to get a jump on the competition and dominate the market.

Today, we attract over 100, 000 visitors/year from places as close as Alberta and as far as Dubai. We have been featured on CBC News, Calgary News at 6 and in newspapers such as The Vancouver Sun, The Edmonton Journal and the Times Colonist. Waterfront West reaches a very targeted market of serious waterfront buyers.

"Qualicum Landing has been advertising our development on Waterfront West since we started selling our luxury beach homes last April (2009), and the response has been phenomenal.

As marketing director for Qualicum Landing, I focus a good amount of my time making sure our website is getting as many hits per week as possible and Waterfront West has been a key component in achieving numbers of up to 4500 per month.

The website is easy to navigate and very well optimized. In short, I would highly recommend Waterfront West to any developer or seller looking to enhance their web presence and capturing a worldwide audience."

"I have advertised with www.waterfrontwest.com for several months now and the response has been phenomenal. Unlike direct mail or print advertising, the percentage of leads and sales generated has been extremely high. The process is easy and painless – as is the cost! Advertising with www.waterfrontwest.com has far exceeded my expectations as visitors to the site, in my experience, have been more qualified, serious buyers than from any other source. I definitely recommend utilizing this site as an advertiser – you get a lot of bang for your buck. I will be advertising with www.waterfrontwest.com on as many developments as I can."

"Waterfront West is filling a long awaited need. Everyone buying or selling waterfront property can and will benefit from participating at this site! Sharleen Whiteside is a professional who is very helpful, making the experience a great one. Thanks for all your help."

"Internet marketing is far more cost effective than traditional media for real estate advertising. The behaviour of customers is to do a lot of research before making a vacation home purchase. It is important for vendors properties to be found by customers early on in this process. However, it is difficult to get into the search engines in a timely fashion and to come up at the top of the rankings. Waterfront West solved both of those problems for us. They invest the time to make sure they come up first in natural searches and we do not have to wait for our site to be indexed into the search engines. Thanks very much to Waterfront West for helping us get our project over subscribed before the closing date."
