UNLIMITED LISTINGS FAQ’s

REGISTRATION:

What is Corporate Housing?

What happens when I "Sign up for Free"?

"Signing up for Free" grants you access to a free, 14 day trial on TCHNetwork.com, so you can take it for a test ride and determine whether or not our offerings match your company’s goals. When you click on "Sign up for Free", click on "I am a Housing Provider". Fill out the Registration fields, and then select the markets/cities for which you’d like to receive "Email Notifications" (see below). Then, click "Become a Member".

How does your "Email Notification" system work? Why would I use it?

Our exclusive Email Notification system allows you access to the most important mode of activity on our site. ** Be automatically notified when a key prospect posts a new Housing Requests in the market(s) of your choice. This allows you to immediately contact those who have an upcoming need in your markets. You then can provide your specific options and availability (i.e. bid on their Request). Most of our Members choose markets where they currently provide housing, although many Providers also include markets in which they are looking to grow.

You may also choose the minimum budget ranges for which you’d like to receive Notifications.

BECOME A MEMBER:

On the Registration page, what happens when I click on "Become a Member"?

When you finish your brief Registration, and set your Email Notifications, you then move onto Become a Member. This page allows you to choose from three Subscription Packages that best suit your company’s needs. Don’t forget, you receive a 14-day trial, ONLY after which your paid Membership begins.

What are your Subscription Package Options?

For our multi-unit or multi-property members, exclusive membership is only $50/Month, per member for a 3 month commitment, or $35/Month, per Member if you would like to go month-to-month with no commitments or contracts. We also offer a 12 month package for just $250 (a discount of almost 50%!)

What do the Monthly Membership Fees include?

Included in this membership fee, you are able to post UNLIMITED PROPERTY LISTINGS, as well as receive UNLIMITED LEADS ("Requests for Housing") for your areas of interest.

My company has multiple offices; does each office need to Register and become a Member?

Yes, each office will need to Register as a Member. Some individual offices have so much volume that they actually Register more than one Member, since our rates are so affordable. This is so they can have more than one employee keeping track of their multiple units.

Our Membership fees are intentionally low in an effort to match the needs of both smaller housing providers, as well as companies with multiple offices. Once you book just one unit with TCHNetwork.com, you’ve more than paid for a year of Membership. Not only that, but the ability to Post an unlimited amount of your units allows access to get your company’s name out with multiple exposures. We would expect professional courtesy from all of our Members, and we do not expect any one to ’go around the system’; by doing so would really only create more work for the contact person on the account.

POSTING A UNIT:

I clicked on "Post" Corporate Housing; it’s asking me to Log In. What do I do?

If you have already registered as a Member, simply enter your User Name and Password. If you have forgotten your login information, simply click on the “Forgot Login” button to receive a reminder via email or you can email: info@tchnetwork.com, and we’ll get the information to you right away. If you haven’t already Become a Member, please click on "Sign Up for Free", and follow the simple steps.

Do I need to be a Member, and Register, in order to Post a Unit?

Yes, Membership allows you to Post an Unlimited amount of units that you have upcoming and available.

How do I POST a Unit?

Once a member, simply click on "POST" Corporate Housing (either from the main menu bar [top, left on every page], or from the Home Page, center chart). Fill out the specifics of your Unit/Property, upload pictures, and you’re all set.

I have multiple Properties; is there an easier way to Post Multiple Units?

Yes, after you’ve completed your Property Profile and uploaded your pictures, simply click whichever applies:
"I’d like to Post additional Units at this Property", or
"I’d like to Post additional Units, but they’re not at this Property.
Our system them remembers the appropriate information so that you don’t have to waste time inputting in again.

How can I move my property up in the search results for a particular city or state?

Next month we will have additional options, such as "Preferred Properties", "Sponsored Properties", and "Highlighted Properties" which will allow your property(ies) to move up in the Search result rankings.

Do you make a commission, or charge additional fees, for reservations or bookings?

Absolutely not. We simply charge a minimum monthly Membership fee for our Corporate Housing Providers and Private Owners to Post their listings. This also allows them to access Requests that you place on TCHNetwork.com (Rates range anywhere from $15 per month to $50 per month). Often people wonder if they’re paying MORE by using our site to identify and/or book housing, instead of just going directly to the Company themselves. As you can see, $15 - $50 per month (spread out over countless bookings for these Providers) wouldn’t even make a small dent in your rate from these Providers.

UPLOADING IMAGES:

How do I upload pictures?

Within the POST page, at the bottom, simply click on "Browse" for EACH image you’d like uploaded. Your image needs to be no larger 1.5 MB, and must be in either *.jpg. *.gif, or *.png format (these are very common formats, and allow for a generous size image). After you’ve located all of your images on your computer and they’ve been uploaded: Click on "Post this Listing". If it seems as if the screen has become idle, BE SURE TO CLICK "OK" on the pop-up that reads: "Your listing is being processed" (you may need to scroll up a little bit to see the pop-up).

I don’t have an image saved on my computer; instead, I’d like to copy and paste an image on a property website and use that. How do I proceed?

Right Click on Photo
Click "Copy"
GO to your START tab, BOTTOM of your screen, LEFT corner
Go to ALL PROGRAMS
Go to "Accessories"
Go to "Paint"
In Paint, go to "File... New"
Go to "Edit... Paste"
Go to "File... Save As"
Give it a name, and choose "SAVE AS TYPE: …JPEG’" (beneath the file name you give it).
Follow directions in above "How do I upload pictures?"

My image seems to be too large (larger than 1.5 MB), and I don’t know how to make it smaller.

Simply email info@tchnetwork.com and we will shrink it/properly format it for you and upload it into your existing listing!

RECEIVING LEADS (a.k.a. "Housing Requests"):

I want to make sure that I only receive Requests that are within a specific monthly price range; how do I ensure that?

How does your "Email Notification" system work? Why would I use it?

Our exclusive Email Notification system allows you access to the most important mode of activity on our site. **Be automatically notified when a key prospect posts a new Housing Requests in the market(s) of your choice. This allows you to immediately contact those who have an upcoming need in your markets. You then can provide your specific options and availability (i.e. bid on their Request). Most of our Members choose markets where they currently provide housing, although many Providers also include markets in which they are looking to grow.

You may also choose the minimum budget ranges for which you’d like to receive Notifications.

** Please note when setting your DESIRED MINIMUM BUDGET: As you can imagine, individuals and companies will ALWAYS try to get the lowest rate possible. If someone posts a Request with a budget range of $2,500 - $3,000, they will do so even if they know a typical monthly rate for that market is well over that amount (i.e. $3,200 - $4,800). They just don’t want to over-price themselves "if" a Provider was willing to offer them a deal (perhaps, on a vacant unit they are trying to unload). It has been OUR EXPERIENCE that Members who select a lower budget parameters below what they’re actually willing to accept in fact book more units than they ever imagined. It’s the Providers job to educate the prospect about typical rates for their market (don’t forget, most are relocating from an entirely different metro, with entirely different rates; they often have no idea what a typical monthly rate is in your market).

INDIVIDUALS SEEKING CORPORATE HOUSING - FAQs:

Do I pay a Fee for your services?

No, there is absolutely no charge for you to utilize our service! Anyone can SEARCH housing options on TCHNetwork 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In fact, we don’t even ask for any information from you to access our site. Posting a REQUEST on our site is also a free service, and only takes a few moments. Within the hour, you should expect to receive multiple options from our Member Providers - all of whom are essentially …bidding’ on your business, insuring you the best possible rates.

Do I need to be a Member and Register in order to SEARCH or REQUEST Corporate Housing Options?

No, you certainly do not. We do not require you fill out any personal or corporate information in order to SEARCH options, or Post a REQUEST for Housing. If you are being asked to Register, you are trying to POST a unit (only for owners of housing). Please be sure you’re on the "Search" or "Request" page.

Confidentiality is an issue for me. I would like to remain anonymous while obtaining bids. Is there a way to do this?

Absolutely. Many of our larger corporate clients and relocation companies prefer to remain confidential while obtaining bids. When you click on "Request" Corporate Housing, there’s a button on the top left of page that says, "Use Private Message Board". When you click on that, you will now have the ability to post your Request in an anonymous format. You choose when you want to provide your personal/corporate information to these Providers. NOTE: We strongly recommend you at least MENTION in the "Extra Information" field the fact that you work with/for a high-profile company if that’s the case (i.e. Consulting Firm, the Gov’t, Relocation Company, Fortune 500, etc.). The reality is most Providers are more likely to jump at these opportunities, even though you wish to remain anonymous upfront.

Do you make a commission, or charge additional fees, for reservations or bookings?

Absolutely not. We simply charge a minimum monthly Membership fee for our Corporate Housing Providers and Private Owners to Post their listings, and access Requests that you place on TCHNetwork (anywhere from $15 per month to $50 per month). Often people wonder if they’re paying MORE by using our site to identify and/or book housing, instead of just going directly to the Company themselves. As you can see, $15 - $50 per month spread out over countless bookings for these Providers wouldn’t even make a small dent in your rate from these Providers.

Am I, essentially, paying more for this unit by going through TCHNetwork.com, vs. directly contacting the Corporate Housing, or Private Owner? Will they be charging me more, since they may be paying you an additional fee?

As you can see, $15 - $50 per month spread out over countless bookings for these Providers wouldn’t even make a small dent in your rate from these Providers.

What’s typically included in a Corporate Apartment?

A corporate apartment is truly a hotel alternative, offering double or triple the living space one-third the cost. Units typically include all furnishings and house wares, utilities, linens, cable, phone, and internet. Most include tax, but please be sure to ask. It’s important to inquire with each specific company/property for a complete list of items that are included in their particular unit(s), as they may vary by location.

I have no idea how much Corporate Housing is going to cost in the city where I’m moving.

It’s always a good idea to do a little research before simply picking an arbitrary budget for your unit. $2000 per month may seem like a lot of money for a monthly stay; however, that’s only $66 per night, and if you’re staying 30 days, there will be NO tax on top of that. $3500 per month for an all-inclusive corporate apartment may also seem like a lot of money, but that’s only $116 per night, with NO tax. Try finding a decent hotel (that would only be one-third the living space) in a city for that rate. A good idea would be to first perform a SEARCH on TCHNetwork.com for the area where you’re going to place the REQUEST. This will give you an idea as to a typical rate for your market. The higher your budget, the more likely you will be to receive multiple, flexible options. You can always negotiate later.

The reality is most Providers are more likely to jump at these opportunities, even though you wish to remain anonymous upfront.

My company typically receives referral fees for bookings from Providers. How does this work with TCHNetwork.com?

Most of our Relocation Companies and Coordinators who do receive Referral Fees simply mention this to the Provider during one of the initial contacts, to insure they’re willing to provide it to them. We have yet to have a Provider who does is not completely open to paying Referral Fees.

Do you make a commission, or charge additional fees, for reservations or bookings?

Absolutely not. We simply charge a minimum monthly Membership fee for our Corporate Housing Providers and Private Owners to Post their listings, and access Requests that you place on TCHNetwork.com (anywhere from $15 per month to $50 per month). Often people wonder if they’re paying MORE by using our site to identify and/or book housing, instead of just going directly to the Company themselves. As you can see, $15 - $50 per month spread out over countless bookings for these Providers wouldn’t even make a small dent in your rate from these Providers.

We’re pleased with the services of the Corporate Housing Company who we are using. Why would I use TCHNetwork?

Often, we find that Relocation Specialists who use our site find that they are currently paying too much for the services of their existing provider. However, we understand that price isn’t always the most important factor, and it shouldn’t be. Quality and customer service are paramount in the relocation business - our Member Providers all sustain high levels of both of these. If for no other reason, simply post a Request on our site (you can even do it confidentially on our Private Message Board) to insure you’re receive the best options, and the most competitive rates. Most likely, your current provider is also a Member of TCHNetwork.com (ironically enough). No one has ever gotten their hand slapped by their superior for doing their due diligence, right?

I have no idea how much Corporate Housing is going to cost in the city where my client/employee is moving.

It’s always a good idea to do a little research before simply picking an arbitrary budget for your unit. $2000 per month may seem like a lot of money for a monthly stay; however, that’s only $66 per night, and if you’re staying 30 days, there will be NO tax on top of that. $3500 per month for an all-inclusive corporate apartment may also seem like a lot of money, but that’s only $116 per night, with NO tax.

International clients typically refer to corporate housing as "serviced apartments". A serviced apartment is a type of furnished, self-contained apartment designed for short-term stays, and provides amenities for daily use. Serviced apartments are predictably less expensive than equivalent hotel rooms. When international travel became significantly more affordable, seasoned travelers began choosing serviced apartments over the use of hotels for short stays. Since the dot-com crash, corporate travel budgets have been restricted. Hotel stays require business travelers to pay to eat out at restaurants and for laundry services; as a result, most companies now only offer their associates the option to stay in corporate housing or serviced apartments. Savings to the bottom line for these companies has been exponential.
