RentJungle.com's Smart New Apartment Directory Is So Easy a Monkey Can Use It

When it comes to apartment hunting, it’s a jungle out there. You need a good guide to avoid the snakes and track down the perfect den. The newly launched Rentjungle.com has more listings than any other online site, and its innovative technology shows you every available listing on a user-friendly map. You instantly know where each vacancy is located 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.

Rentjungle.com works much like Google in that it scours the Internet and pulls together apartment listings from a variety of sites. 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. So you can get an idea of what awaits outside your front window without having to physically visit the place—especially useful if you’re moving to a new city or want to apartment hunt at 2am.

“We help users avoid that scary ‘What am I getting?’ feeling by giving them live visuals on an easy to use map,” says founder Rick Ferris.

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about locating, leasing, moving and decorating your new place you’ll also find on rentjungle.com. It’s 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.
