"HOW TO..." FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
PLACING A BUYER'S LISTING ON EAGLESTAR.NET
Recently, we have received a number of inquiries about placing a Buyer's
Listing (Buyer's Ad) on Eaglestar.net. This FAQ (a list of Frequently Asked
Questions) was developed to answer some of the more common questions.

Q: What is an Eaglestar.net Buyer's Listing?
A: A Buyer's Listing is essentially a want-ad for those seeking to purchase
real estate.

Q: Is placing a Buyer's Listing on Eaglestar.net free?
A: Yes.

Q: Why should I place a Buyer's Listing on Eaglestar.net?
A: The point of placing a Buyer's Listing is to notify prospective property
sellers about the type of property you are seeking. Eaglestar.net clients with
properties that match your Buyer's Ad will have access to your contact
information.
In addition, you will receive access to a continually updated Private List of
Properties for Sale, including seller contact information that is not available
to the general internet public. In order to place a listing, you will need to
create an Eaglestar.net User Account if you have not already done so.

Q: What are the advantages of placing a free Buyer's Listing (Buyer's Ad) on
Eaglestar.net?
A: Buyer's Listings offer a unique way for those seeking real estate to
identify and locate properties that match their specific criteria. We have
learned that placing a "Property Wanted" ad can sometimes aid in locating
properties at bargain prices. In addition, some of our customers who have
placed a Buyer's Listing have been contacted by sellers about properties that
have previously not been for sale, or that have not been offered on the open
market for an extended period of time.

Q: Who should place Buyer's Listings on Eaglestar.net?
A: Anyone seriously seeking to purchase land or property. We have found that
placing "Property Wanted" ads on the Land Buyer's List affords real estate
professionals an additional way to meet the needs of their customers by
attracting sellers with properties matching the buyer's wants and needs. Those
with qualifying properties can then contact the broker or sales professional
directly.

Q: Is there a limit on the number of Buyer's Ads I can place?
A: No. You may place as many listings as you wish. When placing your Buyer's
Ad(s), please remember that the Land Buyer's List is intended for serious,
good-faith "Property Wanted" listings only. All listings are subject to
approval by American EagleStar; only relevant and appropriate listings will be
accepted.

Q: What information should I include in my Eaglestar.net Buyer's Listing?
A: You may be as specific or as general as you wish. At a minimum, the Buyer's
Listing should contain the desired location, price range, and size (number of
acres). You may get a better (and more targeted) response if you include
additional information such as the type of property you are seeking (farm,
hunting, ranch, fishing, investment, etc.). It is also helpful to describe the
amenities you want (sewer, electric, water features, paved roads, wildlife,
privacy and seclusion, etc.).

Q: What is required to create a User Account on Eaglestar.net?
A: Your name, a valid email address and telephone number, and a username and
password chosen by you.

Q: Who has access to the contact information from my Buyer's Listing?
A: Your contact information is available only to paid advertisers (Sellers'
Listings) on Eaglestar.net. Your name and telephone number will be displayed
so that sellers may contact you with properties matching your criteria.
Sellers may also email you, but cannot see your email address unless you
respond to a seller's inquiry.
We will not sell or share your contact information with third parties.

(http://www.eaglestar.net/Land_Buyers_List/index.html) may take up to 24 hours.

information in the Private List category.

Q: Will I have access to contact information for listings in the Eaglestar.net
Land Buyer's List if I place a Buyer's Listing?

to that information. You will, however, be able to view the seller contact

LANDTERMS.COM TERM OF THE WEEK
http://landterms.com
Each issue we feature a real estate, forestry, natural sciences or other
land-related term from our partner site, Landterms.com.

This week's term:
Alternative agriculture -
Agricultural production that includes ecological and sustainability concerns in
addition to economic and commodity values. Also known as sustainable
agriculture, this set of farming methods often includes organic farming,
locally-based food production, biological pest control, and unique marketing
strategies. This type of system is sustainable in the sense that the social,
economic, and ecological benefits can last for extended periods of time without
degradation of natural resources.
