A Season of Change As the demand for John’s Island rentals steadily increases each year, it is imperative that our rental properties reflect the same standards we have come to expect from the John’s Island Club. John’s Island is a first-class community with first-class amenities; therefore it is crucial that we provide consistent first-class rental experiences from start to finish. With that, John’s Island Real Estate Company is committed to providing friendly, prompt, responsive service to each of our rental guests. Our focus is to provide memorable hospitality and to convert guests into John’s Island residents. We are restructuring our Rental Services Team, which is comprised of Margaret Azar, Stephanie Reeder, Beth Tallant and our newest member Woody Coley, a 27-year Trammell Crow Company Partner, who will lead the team to provide unsurpassed service to our guests. It is our goal to elevate the quality of the John’s Island rental experience by implementing new rental software to enhance the rental process, raising the bar on quality of properties, adding more features to our rental website and improving our services to owners and future guests. As we head into the summer season, we anticipate our market to continue to be active. We hope to see you at the 4th of July festivities, action-packed “Island Adventure Camp” and “Family Beach Day” which prove to be our most fun-filled summer events year after year.
Newly Launched “Responsive Web Design” Website We are proud to announce the launch of our newly improved, responsive website. The updated design and responsive functionality deliver an enhanced user experience – one that is vital in a world where users turn to multiple devices to interact with one business. What is Responsive Design? It is a technique for building websites that automatically adjusts or scales the contents of a website to the screen size of any device you are using, thus eliminating the need for separate mobile and desktop websites. This enhances SEO rankings and provides a better user experience. As a business, switching to a responsive platform is all the more important these days as noted in May 2015 by a Google executive in the Wall Street Journal blog. In addition to the responsive functionality, images depicting the John’s Island lifestyle have more prominence, as well as larger slideshows and property photos. The home page has easy-to-access links to our featured properties, digital Portfolio newsletter, current events, the John’s Island video, and a link to contact our Sales Executives. The larger format and clean design make our website easier to read and navigate. We welcome you to view the new site at www.JohnsIslandRealEstate.com.
