Daj
Mangat from Floridian Homes
is interviewed...
iW:
Tell us a little bit about yourself and floridian-homes.net and the
U.S Holidays Group.
DM: floridian-homes.net is really a clearinghouse for people who
want to rent or buy their dream house in and around Orlando.
We provide a wide variety of services, including mortgage and
property management. Really anything our clients need.
iW:
How long have you been in the business?
DM: We've been in this business for over six years now.
After spending 12 years in publishing and media, I had
worked very closely with real estate agents, builders, tour
operators and villa homeowners. floridian-homes.net seemed like a natural
way to keep working with all these different people.
iW:
You mentioned that you're a clearinghouse. Can you describe
all the services you provide in more detail?
DM: We focus on villa rentals, but since there are so
many other related industries and services that are needed, we
have diversified our services to also include cruises,
incentive group travel, vacation home sales for investors,
mortgage services, immigration services, property management,
commercial property & business sales, discount attraction
tickets and car rentals. You'll notice on our Web site, we've
got a lot of different kinds of information to help our
clients, including a page with great advice to help
people own their own home.
iW:
What are the most important questions customers need to ask to
get what they want? And what questions do you ask them?
DM: We work on the principle of supplying properties
and packages to fit a specific budget. Our first question is
always "What is your budget?" This answer combined
with other requirements allows us to supply an affordable
product to the customer. Customers should always ask us about
price, exact location and size. They should also know that we
provide 24-hour customer service.
iW:
What's the coolest property you've sold?
DM: The coolest property we have sold is in Philips
Landing in the southwest Orlando area, which features a 2000
sq/ft natural lake, white sandy shores, a secure gated area, and
is 10 minutes from downtown Orlando & Disney. From a
rental standpoint, we have had many guests stay at Lake
Berkley, which features the hottest and coolest rental
properties in the area.
iW:
What about the future?
DM: We are very excited about the future. The site
is going from strength to strength with many satisfied
customers. We have got some excellent new products which will
come online in the near future under new brand names. There will be
a comprehensive source of information on purchasing
real-estate with detailed advise and financial information. usholiday.net will bring online hotels and travel products
throughout the United States, The Caribbean, The Bahamas and
Mexico. Watch this space!
iW:
Anything else you'd like to add?
DM: Just that we are also the only company that
operates all services that a foreign investor or vacation
guest is looking for under one roof.
