Keep your post on top of the forum and get noticed by more visitors
(a.k.a Featured Thread a.k.a Hot Thread)

With thousands of new listings at sg-house.com everyday, and new posts created almost every minutes, you might find that your ads keep on being pushed lower and lower in the list. This is especially true during the peak hours, in the popular forums like "HDB For Sale", "Room For Rent" or "HDB For Rent".

We are glad to announce that now sg-house.com allows you to purchase "Featured Thread", which will make your post stays on top of the list in your choosen forum.
Additionally, the Hot / Featured thread will also appear in the thread list when visitors click on to the next pages of the forum, from first page till the last page. For HDB for rent forum, that's a whooping 11000 pages where your thread will be listed ! ^1

Why Featured Thread ?

1. Get noticed by more visitors. Visitors are more likely to click on your ads if it stays among the top of the forum list.

2. Save time. You do not have to keep on posting "update" to keep your ads on top. Your precious time will be better spend by talking with the prospective buyers or tenants.

3. More clicks = more calls = more sales = more commissions .

4. Example:
you are renting out HDB Flat at $ 1500 per month
if your ads get 100 clicks ->
30% result in calling to you means 30 calls ->
out of 30 calls half result in viewing means 15 viewing ->
out of 15 viewing only 3 get successful closing ->
commission (co-broke) = 3 x $ 750 = $ 2150

ROI(return of investment)
= (2150 / 2.5) x 100%
= 86,000 %
