The VaultWare apartment reservation system integrates with over 170 websites in the United States to provide rental prospects the ability to find current rental pricing and availability, as well as to hold a specific unit and pre-qualify instantly online. Research shows that checking availability is typically the first step in the rental process after viewing general information about the property.

Since VaultWare began powering online availability and reservations for the apartment industry 7 years ago, over 38,500,000 people have used the system to help them find a new home. On average, over 1 million people per month have used VaultWare to check availability during the last two quarters.

Craigslist topped Rent.com in the second quarter, taking the top position on the ranking for the first time. The classified listing site first broke into the top 10 at the number 6 position in Q3 of 2009. Since then per property availability sessions from Craigslist have increased by an astounding 491%!
