Rent.com to Contribute Rental Listing Data to PadZing.com
Agreement combines rental rate data from the largest consumer apartment search web
site with vacancy data from VaultWare
Scottsdale, AZ, March 30, 2009 --
Realty DataTrust and Rent.com today announced
an agreement to integrate rental rate data from Rent.com's 25,000+ property listings
into apartment market data and trends website, PadZing.com. The inclusion of Rent.com
property data with data from current content provider
VaultWare, the leading online apartment availability and reservation system,
makes PadZing.com the multifamily industry’s most comprehensive online source for
up-to-date apartment rent and vacancy data.
PadZing.com provides subscribers, such as property managers, with a tool to easily
obtain competitive information on-demand. Rather than relying on manual collection
efforts and dated information, PadZing.com provides instant access to current data
with powerful mapping and customization features.
"We want to provide property managers and owners with a means to quickly and easily
get the data they want and need to understand their specific market," said Mike
Mueller, CEO of Realty DataTrust, the creator of PadZing.com. "Our agreement with
Rent.com significantly expands PadZing.com’s reach and will provide improved analysis
of very specific geographic areas."
"We are excited about this opportunity to contribute property data to Padzing.com,
which we view as a valuable tool for our property customers to aid in the efficient
collection of up-to-date rent and vacancy information, allowing them to make timely
business decisions," said Peggy Abkemeier, General Manager of Rent.com.
