Recently, I was approached by a downtown business owner with several vacant store fronts along West Milwaukee, asking me for help in marketing these spaces. Being the solution-oriented person always looking to help, I gladly obliged. Having thought about this challenge for a little bit, I came up with the Janesville Listings website, which can be found at www.JanesvilleListings.blogspot.com. There, for a reasonable monthly fee, anyone looking to sell or lease their property can have description of their property placed together with a video tour, which I put together myself.
Project like this is a continuous work in progress and I appreciate all the feedback I got so far. For instance, besides the tour of the property, videos now feature an interview with the property owner describing the property and its strong suits.
There is a bigger point to this project as well: for several now I have heard from various property owners, particularly in the downtown area, express concern that there is no one place where available commercial real estate is listed. This makes marketing our downtown and the rest of Janesville harder than it should be. In particular, when it comes to downtown, with the demise of the Downtown Design & Development Center, downtown property owners were left with little opportunity to list and market their properties in one convenient place. It is my hope that Janesville Listings will become such a place and ultimately will play a part in our local economic development.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact me. Thank you.
Disclosure: this project is my own and is no way connected to the City of Janesville.
