"With consumers increasingly relying on the informed opinion of peers for their shopping decisions, we're thrilled to be offering the Renter's Voice widget to give prospective renters fast access to insider information on the apartment communities that interest them, to help them make more well-rounded leasing decisions," says Marcia Bollinger, Apartment Finder's President. "Connection to peer reviews directly from ApartmentFinder.com socializes the potential renter's search experience, allowing them to not only get an authentic picture of living in a specific apartment community, but also join the conversation.

Those apartment communities with user reviews on Renter's Voice can prominently feature the widget on the Property Detail page of their listing on ApartmentFinder.com. With just one click, apartment shoppers are easily directed to Renter's Voice ratings and postings by actual renters in the apartment community.
