Q. If the property is represented by more than one party can both parties be shown on the property ad?

A. These properties should be placed under the Special Use Category where you will have an opportunity to explain the properties’ unique features. When these are searched online the property use will show prominently as well as the representative’s comments about the nature of the property and its potential. The website has a Key Word search that searches the text of the ad so if you have a Bowling alley, Drive in, restaurant, etc we encourage you to include these references in your copy.
Q. Does the
CPDigest.com website provide a map of my submitted property?
A.
If you have provided a correct and complete postal address or the latitude and longitude coordinates of the property, a map link will be provided. If the system cannot map your property, fields for Latitude and Longitude will be provided and a link to a site were you can find these coordinates. On the Edit page these fields will be displayed so you can make corrections if necessary.
Recently Google seems to attempt to map even bogus or incorrect addresses so we advise you to check the Google generated map and use the above tool to correct the location, if needed.
