Online Apartment Search with Community Involvement
25th Sep 2007
Hubbuzz.com is an innovative apartment search website and online community that provides apartment seekers a unique search experience by combining powerful search functionality and unmatched neighborhood insight with user generated content.
The site is built on a proprietary search platform, Hubbuzz provides apartment seekers with extensive local apartment listings as well as detailed neighborhood profiles, photo galleries, interactive maps, events calendars and user generated blogs.
Hubbuzz promotes community involvement, interaction and collaboration by creating a forum where users are able to share, promote and get to know cities and neighborhoods around the nation.
When visiting Hubbuzz, apartment seekers are able to search for apartments based on name, neighborhood characteristic (such as eclectic, established, and urban), cost of rent and a number of other apartment amenities (such as pets, parking, and air conditioning).
It is also possible to search by neighborhood, which yields detailed neighborhood profiles and photos compiled by Hubbuzz field representatives based on in-person visits to each location.
Throughout the search process, visitors also have access to real-world, user-generated commentary about neighborhoods, events, and local businesses posted by bloggers and other community members.
"The apartment search sites that consumers have become accustomed to lack the originality, accuracy and interactivity that today's online apartment seeker needs to make the most informed housing decisions," said April Thayer, president and CEO of Hubbuzz. "We built Hubbuzz to go beyond basic apartment listings by enabling an open dialog among users and designing a powerful search platform that most accurately matches a visitor to their future apartment."
Hubbuzz users who find their perfect neighborhood and apartment through the site are eligible for a $100 reward by clicking on the "Claim $100" link and completing the form found at Hubbuzz.
Currently Hubbuzz service covers Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego and Dallas. Additional nationwide cities are to follow.
