Norwich, CT March 23, 2011 -- FindARent.NET is delighted to unveil its Featured Community section!!

FindARent.NET living space rentals

A viewer, who is not completely familiar with a town, even if the site facilitates easy map location, is not necessarily familiar enough with an area to choose a free standing apartment. Is the area safe? What is the owner’s track record? Is the location convenient? FindaRent.Net will provide the viewer with resources to check the area out; municipal, police and school contact info are all easily and conveniently displayed on the site. Of course the renter can and should drive through the town. But under the pressure of getting to the new job, winding things up in an old location and arranging the move it might be wise to get help in cutting right to the chase of where to live.

FindaRent.Net provides a complete directory of rental availabilities but is pleased to announce a very valuable short cut. Many of the major rental communities have chosen to be featured on the site. The Featured Community section allows community management to fully describe what the community offers, display multiple photos and to tell the “story” of where it is in relation to services, shopping and transportation. It enables the renter to know what to expect from the community.

Every rental unit type will be displayed in great detail, also with multiple photos, pet policy, laundry facilities, availabilities and community amenities. There will be contact info and links to the community and in some cases the management company websites.

The renter will be able to see photos showing the level of maintenance, find contact info to connect and talk with the manager or rental agent; get comfortable with maintenance and management policies. If the renter is not totally familiar with a locality the major rental community is a great place to find professional management while friendships and knowledge of the town/city develop.

The renter and community mangers find a world class internet experience that is easy, fun and intuitive to use. The average viewer spends an incredible seven plus minutes per visit on FindaRent.Net. The site was developed with the help of 401Consulting, one of the most imaginative and competent internet designers in New England.

No wonder that traffic on the site is growing at a very rapid pace. It is estimated that the FindaRent.Net now reaches 55% of all market area tenant prospects while they are making their relocation decisions.

Norwich, CT, December 18th, 2010,- FindARent.NET is clearly filling an Eastern CT market need. In the past, property owners, their representatives and people looking for rental property have been faced with complicated listing and searching responsibilities - search multiple web sites, refer to multiple sources of printed material and to drive around town looking at For Rent signs. FindARent.NET began with the idea since its inception to provide one source, one place to see and be seen; to become “The Marketplace for Rentals”.

Both renters and property owners are receiving a tremendous cost savings using FindARent.NET as both take advantage of this more environmentally-friendly process. Using the sophisticated database backend technology powering the information, renters can narrow down their choices while picking from a multitude of options, using a computer or smart phone. These rental property listings are detailed descriptions containing photos, all using built-in, convenient map locations. This search and refine system means the potential renter need only call on a few properties to likely work for them.

Owners have the opportunity to fully articulate and effectively market what they have to offer, fielding calls only from serious, knowledgeable potential renters who have narrowed their choice to properties that interest them. Global benefits include reduced paper/printing costs and reduced air pollution as tenants narrow their choices less driving to scout for neighborhoods.

Traffic on the site is growing at a very rapid pace. The new site -- presently only serves Southeastern CT-- was re-launched in late June 2010. Viewer traffic has doubled, and the site receives an astonishing 18,000 views per month. It is estimated that FindARent.NET now reaches 55% of all market area tenant prospects while they are making their relocation decisions.

The site also hosts ads from businesses and services that serve the Property Owner, Broker and Renter populations as well as providing a convenient, sortable directory of such resources.

NORWICH, CT, NOVEMBER 4, 2010 – FindARent.NET, a Connecticut-based web site business, today announced the expansion of resources for the SE Connecticut community with the addition of a local child care directory on its website.

“Renters of homes and businesses often come from out of town, or even out of state,” comments Nicholas Wylie, founder of FindARent.NET. “These people often bring families requiring care resources for their children. Being in a new community, this precious commodity is top of mind. Our directory is a one-stop shop for their personal and professional needs.”

The directory contains dozens of child care resources for communities in Southeastern Connecticut, from Ledyard to New London to Norwich. These listings range from private preschool centers to child care agencies and after school programs. FindARent.NET not only provides listings for child care and rentals properties, but other community resources such as contractors, hospitals, police departments, schools, and other businesses such as hair stylists, furniture stores, insurance companies, and Laundromats. Visitors can refine their search either by community or by specific business category, for a customized directory search result.

Combining rental listings with a local child care businesses is an advantage for not only tenants, but for small businesses providing child care. People moving to the area or looking for places to start a business have an instant “snapshot” of child care resources for them. And businesses can affordably advertise their child care services on FindARent.NET, thereby placing them front and center for potential new clients. This amalgamation allows FindARent.NET to create advocacy for the local child care industry.

Wylie is optimistic that this directory will see an explosion of growth in child care listings on the site. “Local business people should be in the habit of helping one another, and not simply to make the next dollar or complete the next transaction. This site allows us all to create a seamless representation of each community, and the assets and offerings to the tenants coming into the community.”

FindARent.NET Launches Rental Search Site in SE Connecticut

–– Boasts Disruptive New Business Model and Largest, Most-Inclusive Database of Living Space Rentals  ––

NORWICH, CT, OCTOBER 4, 2010 – FindARent.NET, a Connecticut-based web site business, today announced the formal launch of its new real estate rental listing web site, along with a new “disruptive” business model for the industry.  The company had initially launched a prototype web site under a different URL nearly a year and a half ago to test a new business model.  The new web site was redesigned from the ground-up, with myriad enhancements and improvements based on the data and feedback from the initial prototype test period.

“We saw a huge problem developing in the rental listing market, and therefore an opportunity,” said Nicholas Wylie, founder of FindARent.NET.  “Newspaper ads and classifieds listings are the staple of this industry, but they’re relatively expensive. And meanwhile, local newspapers are quickly disappearing all across the country. Landlords have been forced to explore other opportunities that are either cost prohibitive, or may be less expensive but are also much less productive.”

FindARent.NET was launched with a new business model aimed at leveraging technology to deliver a substantially better experience for both tenants and landlords, at a far lower cost.  The magic lays in realizing that for this market, it’s all about being local.  The entire site was built, from the ground up, around the concept of small, localized markets. Not only does this improve the end user (i.e. tenant) experience by making it easier to find listings, but it also sets the foundation for the business model. 

Landlords are not the only ones with advertising problems. Small, local businesses do not have many affordable advertising venues either. FindARent.NET was able to leverage technology to deliver highly targeted, highly localized ads to only those people in the market area served by the specific advertiser, at an incredibly low price.  Thus, instead of building the business model around the rental listings themselves, the business model for the site is advertiser-supported, based upon a custom built, high-tech ad rotation system that targets ads to local market areas. The end result is that the listings themselves, for landlords, become extremely low cost. 

FindARent.NET also has pioneered several usability enhancements never before seen in other similar sites, such as the “Featured Communities” system, which further assists tenants in quickly and easily finding their ultimate living or vacation rental, among a list of other such innovative features.

We promised to expand information and new features to the resources section and so it is!

In both cases there is contact and location info.Let us know if this helps you and ideas for new kinds of info.
