RentJungle.com's Smart New Mapping Technology Revolutionizes Apartment Hunting

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul 06, 2009 -
When it comes to apartment hunting, it’s a jungle out there. The best defense is Rentjungle.com’s innovative spidering and mapping technology. Not only does it scour the web and aggregate pages to find every listing, but it presents those findings on an interactive map that makes apartment hunting so easy, a monkey could do it. You get more listings than any other online site, and an instant visual detailing the apartment’s location and what’s nearby: parks, shopping, ultra hip watering holes. Plus you can check out if that “park view” really showcases lush foliage or leaves you staring at a row of fenders.

Sure http://www.rentjungle.com works much like Google in that it scours the Internet and pulls together apartment listings from a variety of sites. But it one ups Google by focusing solely on apartment searches and displaying results either on a simple, interactive map or as a listing with links to Google street views. Another advantage over Google is the ability to search by number of bedrooms, price and distance with a simple pull down menu. Your results are culled and mapped right before your eyes.

“Our spidering and aggregating technology provides better results than Google,” says founder Rick Ferris. “And it’s extremely user-friendly.”

In addition to eye-popping technology, you’ll find everything you’ve ever wanted to know about locating, leasing, moving and decorating your new place. Rentjungle.com is the ultimate apartment resource featuring both the most complete and user-friendly listing of vacancies on the web as well as articles on everything from down payments to self-adhesive shelf liners. (Unfortunately, you will have to install those yourself.)

“Bouncing around from site to site wastes a lot of time,” says Ferris. “Rentjungle.com lets users focus their energy on searching for actual apartments, not for sites listing apartments—which is all you get when you search with Google.”

Rentjungle.com launched May 1, 2009 and within three weeks had experienced nearly 1000 unique daily visitors simply though word-of-mouth advertising.  Behind its success is Rick Ferris, a real estate broker with over 30 years experience in residential and commercial realty.  He’s sold or leased over $400 million in commercial property and has earned the CoStar Power Broker Award every year since 2002. He founded rentjungle.com to fill a real void in the online real estate market by offering a simple, easy-to-use directory and one-stop-shop destination for leasers.
