Rental Guide was founded with one simple
objective:
Create the most useful rental information source from the renter's
perspective.
It's the "Field of Dreams" philosophy - "If we build it, they will come."
And it works, over 3,000 copies of the FREE printed
magazine are picked up every month.
Feedback from renters has been a universally appreciative "It's about time
somebody did this!" |

We began with the psychology of
your rental search process.
The first two search criteria are rent and location.
Next, you typically look for a basic amenity need package.
(air conditioning, appliances, laundry facilities, parking, etc.)
Then, the living space has to fit your lifestyle requirements.
(your existing investment in furniture dictates certain room sizes)
This will be your home and the overall image is part of your decision.
(the look or style of the building and general neighborhood are important)
Additionally, we have a certain "shopper mentality" to find the best
available.
(an assurance that we considered all the options that may meet our
needs)
Finally, most of us appreciate convenient and logical information
organization.
(it takes a lot of effort to organize notes and scraps of paper from
disparate sources) |
|
We identified the basic
requirements to facilitate the rental search process. |
- Detail: Enough information to decide if the living
space and image needs are satisfactory.
- Comprehensive: Coverage sufficient to assure
that you have shopped the entire market.
- Organized: A sensible and logical order to the way the
information is presented.
- Convenient: Simple easy-to-use format with room for
notes.
- Current: Rental options are time sensitive. Recent
updated information is important.
|
|
We examined existing rental
information sources relative to these search requirements. |
- Newspaper Classifieds: Lack detail & organization.
- Internet Sites: Generally lack comprehensive coverage
or current availability information.
- Rental Guides: Typically available only in major urban
areas & cover only large complexes.
