Apartment Guide, Rent.com Win Tech Choice Awards, Again
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 17, 2014 -- RentPath, parent company of Apartment Guide and Rent.com, today announced that Apartment Guide’s mobile app was named as one of the best Mobile Apps, and Rent.com was named a top Internet Listing Service in the 10th Annual 2014 MHN Technology Choice Awards.
This marks the third consecutive year Apartment Guide has won a technology choice award, and the sixth year Rent.com has garnered one. Apartment Guide earned the Most Innovative Multi-Housing Technology Choice award for HD Image Pack™ in 2013, the Mobile App award in 2012 and the Internet Listing Service award in 2011. Rent.com took home awards for its innovative system design, reliability, return on investment and customer care in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2013.
Each year for the last 10 years, readers of Multi-Housing News have been asked to vote on the best technologies in 15 categories, including mobile apps. The entries with the most votes win the awards.
“We are honored that the many owners and operators who read MHN continue to recognize Rent.com and Apartment Guide as the best in the industry,” says Scott Asher, vice president of marketing and operations for RentPath. “It’s exciting to see RentPath’s commitment to innovation receive recognition year after year as we work diligently to improve on our successes and ensure we provide the best client and prospective renter experience possible.”
The commitment to innovation has resulted in several industry firsts for Apartment Guide and Rent.com. Apartment Guide was the first in the industry to launch a mobile app for iPhone®, iPad® and Android™. Rent.com was among the first Internet Listing Services to launch in 2000.
“It is gratifying to see that Rent.com continues to deliver on our promise of providing a great experience to renters searching for their new home and a strong return on investment to our clients,” says Richard Barajas, vice president of sales for Rent.com. “With the industry’s highest lead-to-lease conversion rate, Rent.com delivers more than just traffic and leads – we deliver leases. That’s a result of our focus on keeping pace with rapidly changing consumer behavior.”
One of those changes is the rapidly growing adoption of mobile devices and use of apps to search for apartment homes. In fact, leads from mobile devices now account for more than 40 percent of the leads that RentPath delivers to its clients.
“To put that in perspective, we delivered a record-breaking 3 million leads to our clients in the month of July,” Asher says. “That means 1.2 million of those leads were generated from mobile devices. Mobile apartment search is growing and quickly becoming the way to find your new apartment home. And we’re laser focused on staying at the forefront of mobile technology and app functionality to make our marketing solutions the best in the industry.”
