Here is what a few of our customers have to say about
us:
"I really like the new site, both as an advertising piece and communication tool with existing customers. I had no idea Contribute would be so easy to use!"
John Hooper, Lighthouse View Motel, Cape Hatteras, NC
"CENTURY 21 Thomas has worked closely with Visual Data Systems for nearly a decade, from when we first laid the foundation for our website. They have been extremely helpful with all the revisions and upgrades as our site has grown. Incorporating real-time availability searches and online reservations was an excellent move. The folks at Visual Data Systems have responded rapidly to our needs and have provided valuable insight so that we might keep our site fresh, easy to navigate, and optimized for better search engine placement.
We and our homeowners are very pleased with OwnerNet and the instant access to information about their properties. The OptInAdvantage program has been quite helpful in establishing a regular e-campaign for our vacation rentals and the various promotion reports are great tools for monitoring advertising results.
I personally appreciate the access via “hot spots” to make immediate changes and the ability to edit and create new pages easily via Contribute. Thanks for the continuing education and patience. Our website has become an integral part of both our Vacation Rentals and Real Estate Sales departments."
Mike Harrell, Century 21 Thomas, North Myrtle Beach, SC
"Sunset Properties has been working with Visual Data Systems since 1998 and it's been one of our best business decisions yet! We've grown our inventory of homes from 200 to over 450 in that time and we owe a lot of our success to our partnership with Visual Data Systems. Their attention to detail and quality of work is the best. They provide us with very fast turn-arounds on our website updates and seem to have tools for our every need. The staff are genuinely caring and are always available for support calls when we need them. It's obvious to us that they value customer service because we feel like we are their only customer!"
Elizabeth, Sunset Rentals
"We have worked with Visual Data Systems now for just over a year. We were a start up property management and real estate sales business with no units in our rental program. Today we are over 150 units and growing. In addition, we have grown to dominate our Real Estate market here on St Simons Island with over 300 Million in Sales this year. I chose Visual Data Systems after researching a number of options in the market. I am glad that I did.
Visual Data Systems understands our business and with all of the experience that they have I felt right at home as we developed our site. They have been responsive to our needs from day one and we would not be where we are today without their help."
Park Brady, President, Hodnett Cooper Vacation Rentals, St Simons Island
"We use the pdf [MyBrochure] all of the time and owners love it. We are also seeing guests with them in their hands when they are checking in..."
A.J. Bland, Jackson Mountain Homes - Gatlinburg Cabins, Gatlinburg, TN
"Visual Data System's extensive background in the Vacation Rental market made them our first choice when we decided to start a vacation rental management division. Their technology, consulting, and customer support played an integral role in allowing us launch our site with the latest tools and software to provide top-notch service to our guests and owners. As a result, we are growing quickly and have recently added our second office in the Grand Strand area.
With Visual Data Systems timely and professional support, I know I can provide the highest standard of excellence to our homeowners and guests. Southern Coast Vacations looks forward to a long-term relationship with Visual Data Systems."

"My first experience with Visual Data Systems was having
OwnerNet integrated
into our website. Before the OwnerNet project was completed,
I decided to
have Visual Data Systems add online booking to our website.
And before that
project started, I decided to have Visual Data Systems
overhaul the look,
feel and navigation of our website.
I have to admit that while this was one of the most difficult
projects I
have ever undertaken (my learning curve was steep; the
options and decisions
seemed endless) it was also one of the most rewarding.
Our company
constantly gets complimentary e-mails and calls about our
website. Best of
all, Visual Data Systems was there every step of the way:
responsive,
creative and reliable. Perhaps most important, I felt that
I had real
partners; my project manager and programmer were as likely
to come up with
new ideas as I was. They were constantly pushing the envelope
rather than
delivering ordinary programming fare.
Eighteen months after starting work with Visual Data Systems,
we have a
fantastic website with state of the art online booking,
mapping, and other
features; we use the Opt-In program for internet marketing
to our clients;
our site is hosted by Visual Data Systems; our 20 employees
are protected by
anti-spam and anti-virus software through Visual Data Systems.
My
continuing confidence in Visual Data Systems is obvious:
at this time, I
have three projects in development. And when I think of
some new feature for
my site or business, I'm sure that Visual Data Systems
will be able to
execute!"

"[I] would like to let Visual Data Systems know how helpful
and professional
[...]. Also, Jeanne in the Nags Head office
is easy to work
with and never seems exasperated if she has to explain
search engine
[optimization] in more detail or go through it all twice!"
Beth -
Beach Realty & Construction
and Kitty Hawk Rentals,
Outer Banks, NC
"I first heard about Ad Tracker from Paul Herman during
a presentation at the Instant Software (owners of Property
Plus) user's forum. As the director of marketing for Midgett
Realty, I was so excited about the prospect of being able
to track the response of our print advertising in such
an accurate, timely & easily understandable format.
Our reservation agents do ask, "Where did you hear
about us?" when callers are on the phone, and then
record the answers in our reservation software for my use.
However, with approximately 40% of our reservations being
taken on-line, and another 40 to 50% of potential guests
having surfed & searched our web site before calling,
we were missing a lot of information. Many guests who said
they heard about us through our web site ACTUALLY first
saw our print advertising, but never mentioned it. With
Ad Tracker, I can capture a lot of that missing information,
as well as monitor the web traffic daily, the very day
an ad "hits," without waiting for the web trends
report at the end of the month. This is just one of the
reasons we love working with Visual Data Systems ... their
readiness to embrace new ideas and trends & offer them
to their clients across the board for the benefit of all
of us."
Midgett Realty, Outer Banks, NC
"We got the 'look
and feel' and the features we wanted - and then the team
was great to work with. Everyone listened carefully to
learn what we wanted to accomplish, which was particularly
important because this was a different kind of website
for Visual Data Systems. A friend recommended Visual Data
Systems. We had already been in discussions with another
company and gotten a bid from them - we liked both the
greater degree of flexibility/attentiveness and the better
price we got from Visual Data Systems."

"I am happy and continue to promote Visual Data Systems.
A very professional team of individuals - and nice guys
too! I like the way the team is willing to work with us
on making our site more useful to our customers."
Antonia Lavendar, Director, Se
Renta Luxury Villas, Acapulco, Mexico
"I absolutely LOVE Contribute! Thanks so much for all your help and your patience. Thanks also for telling me about the photo [issues] on the home page. I was planning to email you about the look of it some point today and then I received your email. I really appreciate all your time!"
