What consultants are saying about FastFacility
"We have found FastFacility.com to be an extremely useful tool in identifying communities that have available buildings that may meet our client’s needs. I highly encourage economic developers to identify available buildings in their communities and to list them on easily accessible web sites like FastFacility.com. FastFacility.com is an easy way to promote an important community asset - available buildings."
James H. Renzas, President and CEO
Location Management Services (LMS), Mission Viejo, CA
"With FastFacility I am able to significantly reduce my search time in finding potential sites for my client’s expansion needs. This tool allows me to locate potential sites with the exact parameters (building type and size, and land availability etc.) that I need for a specific project thereby reducing the need for added travel in the preliminary stages of site selection work."

"My experience (multiple uses) with FastFacility has been very satisfactory in regard to its usefulness, expediency and effectiveness. I very much appreciated FastFacility’s ability to expedite my custom search for the facility."

"I contacted FastFacility after seeing an item in Area Development Magazine that this type of service was available. Your organization’s response was immediate and thorough. We were able to quickly develop a database of properties. If there was any one thing to improve upon, it was that the response was too inclusive; however I would rather have a listing that was overly extensive than one that omitted some potential properties. I am appreciative of the effort put forth by your organization. I would not hesitate to use it again if a need arose."

Navistar International, Warrenville, IL
What economic developers are saying about FastFacility
"I want to let you know that once again, Fast Facility has done its job. I received and email from a company in California requesting information about a building that was listed with FF. After following up with him he agreed to come to West Tennessee and look at several additional buildings. He is now in the RFP stage with four of my communities, and we are planning his next visit.Thanks again for a great product like FF. It has really worked for us in West Tennessee."
Michael M. Philpot, CEcD, Executive Director
West Tennessee Industrial Association Jackson, TN
"Fast Facility has delivered great results. Recently we had a large number of Fast Facility “hits” on a particular building. Shortly thereafter a company executive directly contacted me for more detail and now negotiations are near completion to purchase the building for a location here. Between this and our listings being constantly viewed I will again sign up for another year, perhaps adding more listings."
Barb Koch, Executive Director
Illinois Valey Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development, LaSalle, IL
“Every economic development organization should be on FastFacility. It always works for me. FastFacility gets response!"
William Martin, CEO
Harlingen Economic Development Corporation, Harlingen, TX
“Per our conversation...we sent off an email yesterday to make initial contact and then called him and left message. Not sure if it will turn into anything, but when it comes from FastFacility we know to jump on it ASAP...This, in my opinion, is one of your best products."

"I've been an advertiser with Area Development and Fast Facility for the last 13 years, both in my role here at Marion CAN DO! and in my previous role with the Ohio Department of Development. I've continued the relationship because it produces results. Most recently we've been directly contacted through FastFacility with a major European company on what could turn into a very large project for our community. Recently we've hosted a representative from this company who took a very detailed look at one of our FastFacility listed properties that matches his company's requirements closely. He would not have known about this property--and we would not have known about him--without our association with Area Development and Fast Facility. It's a relationship that's proven valuable to us over the years--and particularly so as we work with this new European prospect.
Dave Claborn, President

"Listing available properties and sites on the www.fastfacility.com website is one of the most economical and cost effective ways for marketing our area. We recently located a fire hose manufacturing project into a 151,000 sq.ft. facility in our community that will create 200 jobs. Without the lead from www.fastfacility.com, we most likely would not have had the opportunity to locate this manufacturer. I am a believer in www.fastfacility.com.
Matt Parker, President
Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce - Dothan, AL
"We are receiving approximately 30 property views per month on FastFacility. We are pleased to report that as a direct result of our listings on FastFacility, a 100,000+ sq. ft. building has been leased and several additional prospects have been generated. Because of this success, we intend to expand our listings in 2006. FastFacility is working better than we hoped."
Gerald Cook, President
Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, Salina, KS
"I am very pleased with the results of having our sites and buildings listed with FastFacility. In fact, I am considering increasing the number of sites/buildings we have listed during the coming year.”
Barb Koch, Executive Director/CEO
Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development, LaSalle, IL
"I have five properties listed on FastFacility and in 5 months I have had 130 hits on those sites/buildings. That is a very successful promotional venue for our small community and I plan on continuing to use FastFacility for all my properties in the future."
Scott Christensen, Director of Community Development and Planning
City of Camdenton, Camdenton, MO
"Recently, a local business person searched for available buildings in Northwest Ohio on FastFacility.com. It was easier for him to search that site than websites of each county’s economic development office. He found a building on FastFacility, contacted our office, and purchased the building. You never know who will use FastFacility. They may be around the world or in your backyard."
Matt Gilroy, Assistant Director
Defiance County Economic Development, OH
"We are very optimistic that we will close on a 200,000 s.f. project as a direct result of a FastFacility lead. FastFacility has certainly worked for us."

"The exposure we received through FastFacility produces the best results we have experienced. The ability to market specific sites and facilities was invaluable in generating the high number of quality leads we were able to pursue.”
Norm Blanchard, Director
Cambridge Guernsey County CIC, OH
"FastFacility works great for me. I’m very satisfied. In addition to numerous “hits”, I recently received a phone call directly from a prospect that saw my property on FastFacility. I’m still working that lead. I have also received 2 direct emails from prospects off my FastFacility listings. With all that you do with the marketing, and how easy it is for me to maintain, FastFacility works great.”
Janet P. Smith, Manager, Economic Development

What industry observers are saying about FastFacility
"I learned of your website from Jack Schultz, author of “Boomtown USA” and he suggested we contact your organization to see if you could help us. Can you provide some information on how you help communities market their buildings and what your prices would be? I would appreciate any help you might be able to provide.”
