Finding a new place to live just became easier for consumers – who can now browse apartment on their smartphones. Apartment
Finder/ApartmentFinder.com recently
launched an additional mobile tool – a free Android App to make looking
through photos, maps, and more information a better experience for
apartment shoppers.
Consumers may download the app for free from the Android Marketplace.
According to Nielson Research, more people will own smart phones than
personal computers or laptops as soon as 2013 and comScore Research
indicates that 73% of local searches (such as looking for a home) are
currently performed through mobile web browsers.
“Consumers use every vehicle available to them to research products
and services these days,” says Marcia Bollinger, President of Apartment
Finder. “We want to make sure they find the information they are looking
for as easily as possible in order to select their new apartment”
