SERIOUSRENTERS Introduces an Essential Tool for Apartment Hunting

“Until now, renters have had no way to see all the available NYC apartments or to contact all the landlords with apartments they might want to rent. SERIOUSRENTERS will be the 411 for renters, supplementing the rental websites that are in place today.”

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 08, 2011

SERIOUSRENTERS, an affiliate of MLX, today announced the beta launch of SERIOUSRENTERS.com, a new service that matches New York City apartment hunters with the apartments of their dreams.

There’s one thing renters, landlords, and agents all agree on: Finding a rental apartment in New York City is not for the faint of heart. Why? Renters have no single database to find all the apartments they’re looking for. Agents and landlords have no way to distinguish the serious renters – those who need an apartment and know what they can afford – from the window-shoppers.

On SERIOUSRENTERS.com, the focus is on renters, not apartments. Renters post Renter Résumés that describe everything they need in an apartment, along with everything that makes them shout, “No way, never!” They can share their Renter Résumés with their social circles on Facebook, Twitter and Google+; if they upgrade to SERIOUS status, their Renter Résumés are broadcast by email to thousands of landlords and agents who can propose properties to them.

For renters, creating Renter Résumés is an efficient way to increase their odds of success. Circulating their requirements to thousands of agents can generate recommendations of overlooked apartments they might otherwise have no way to find. And by posting their résumés well ahead of their move dates, they may even get a jump on apartments that haven’t been advertised yet.

For landlords, searching the database of Renter Résumés – which contain information about income and credit history – is an efficient way to find the tenants of their dreams.

And agents can collaborate with each other to help clients and share referral fees. LaLa Wang, CEO of SERIOUSRENTERS, explained, “Agents often receive inquiries from renters they can’t help. SERIOUSRENTERS allows them to create Renter Résumés for these clients with the agent as contact, help them find the apartments they’re looking for, and receive referral fees from the listing brokers.”

Wang continued, “Until now, renters have had no way to see all the available New York City apartments or to contact all the landlords with apartments they might want to rent. SERIOUSRENTERS will be the 411 for renters, supplementing the rental websites that are in place today.”
