Summertime means warm weather and fun outdoor activities. But summer is also known for a couple other things. Pesky party crashing mosquitoes and moving! Summer is mosquito season and they can certainly put a damper on your activities outdoor. Not to mention a scratchy night with red bumps! So to prevent yourself from a terrible itch due to mosquito bites, visit Mosquito.org for tips on prevention.
Now what about the other thing we mentioned summer is known for; moving. Its true, summer is a peak moving season. Ask any property management company, many people find that moving in the summer months is easier that moving in the winter months. So if you’re itching to move this summer, ForRent.com has the answer for you. There are thousands of apartment listings nationwide on the website and many of the apartment community videos on social sites like YouTube, MySpace, Yahoo, Dailymotion, AptsVideo and many others. Take a look…
It’s been a few weeks since we’ve uploaded our community theater videos to social media websites such as YouTube, MySpace, Yahoo, Revver and AptsVideo.com. It appears they were on a hiatus for a bit, but have made a miraculous recovery.
This week the upload totals over 100 new videos. What? Over 100 new apartment community videos?? Yes, sir! Apartments for rent in cities all over the US have been distributed on our social networking profiles. Cities such as Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Carrollton, Denver, Durham, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Jacksonville, McKinney, Miami, Milwaukee, Naples, Portland, San Antonio, Tampa, etc. The list is really too long to go on, but you can check all the latest uploads on our YouTube profile.
During this week of uploading apartment community videos, I noticed we had a good amount of Texas apartment communities engaging in the online video realm. And I thought, why not spotlight their new efforts with a blog posting about those communities!? So here they are!

If you haven’t taken a look at our social media websites, you definitely need to! Especially since we write content with marketing/advertising ideas to help promote your apartment community videos. After your video goes live on ForRent.com, it is then uploaded to several social media websites such as YouTube, MySpace, Yahoo, Dailymotion, AptsVideo.com. The purpose for doing this is to make the apartment search process easier for renters; we want your community to be where THEY are. It also helps expose the property’s attractive features. This really gives prospective renters the opportunity to gage a property before going to see it.
In addition to posting it on social media websites, we also write a blog alerting consumers what new videos have come out which feeds into our Facebook Page and Twitter. This again is to encourage them to seek more information about your property and hopefully drive more LEADS to your door step!
Want to find out what was posted this week? Well, here’s a rap up…
What are we exposing about these selected Apartment Communities? That’s simple; we’re exposing the property’s attractive features. We show the apartment communities’ amenities such as bedrooms, baths, layouts, fitness centers, pools, community center as well as the surrounding area. This really gives prospective renters the opportunity to gage a property before going to physically see it.
Why on sites like YouTube, MySpace, Yahoo, Dailymotion, AptsVideo.com and others? Again, that’s simple! In order to make the apartment search process easier for you, we need to be where YOU are. And that would include sites like YouTube, MySpace, Yahoo, Dailymotion, AptsVideo.com. If you’re on these sites and want to look at an apartment community that is in your area, then what better way than to search then while you’re on MySpace or YouTube, etc. Without leaving the website you can still have an in-depth view of an apartment community of your choice.
Why should renters care?? As a prospective or current renter, you should care because we’re simplifying the apartment search process for you. You should care because we are trying to make a process that can be extremely difficult, easier; saving you time, energy and giving you peace of mind. And in today’s economy those are all desirable things.
So what new videos do you have in store for us this week? Well, take a look…..
Many of us heard Hyundai’s story in which they promised to let owners get rid of their vehicle should they lose their job. The auto company was acutely aware that people were afraid to make big purchases. So Hyundai announced it’s Assurance Program at the beginning of 2009, a pledge to let people return new vehicle purchases within the first year of ownership without penalty should they lose their source of income. This incentive apparently worked as Hyundai rebounded from a 48 percent sales drop to a 14 percent sales increase in that time frame according to AutoTropolis.com.
While having that security on your newly purchased car is comforting, should you lose your job your biggest worry would be a place of residency! Rest assured there is a program called Lay-off Proof Lease which provides 60 days of rent-free living if you lose your job. And after that time, if you don’t find a new job you may cancel your lease without penalty. Can you imagine that? If you lose your job and you live in an apartment community that is a participating property, you can live rent free for 60 days (restrictions do apply). Bet you’re wondering what properties near you are participating properties, huh?
Goldberg Co., Inc. prides itself on having a level of maintenance and management that is unparalleled in the real estate industry. The apartment residents and office tenants are proud to be in some of the most attractive buildings and surrounded with the most up-to-date facilities and highest quality on-site management.
During these economic times, uncertainty is guaranteed. There are very few people whose job is 100% recession proof, so having an apartment community that understands should a situation arise is very reassuring. Weathering this economic storm would certainly be easier with more companies taking on this incentive.
