San Francisco-based AllApartments.com signed an exclusive
partnership deal with CORT Business Services Corp. to use its 500 person
salesforce to market AllApartments to apartment property managers nationwide.
CORT will also be featured as the exclusive furniture rental provider on the
AllApartments’ site. In addition, CORT has made an unspecified investment in
AllApartments and Steve Jobes, CORT’s vice president of marketing, sales,
merchandising and national accounts, joins the board of directors.
AllApartments offers apartment seekers ad listings for more than five and a
half million units in over 35,000 apartment communities. Under the agreement,
CORT and AllApartments will help property managers advertise their apartment
communities on the Internet, with the option of including multiple floor plans
and detailed information.
“This partnership is a win-win for both companies. We are so confident in
AllApartments’ abilities that we not only partnered with them, but invested in
them as well,” said Steve Jobes. “We’re pleased to join together with
AllApartments to provide our apartment partners and management companies with
this added value service. Currently, 28 million households nationwide access
the Internet and view more than 15 million Web pages monthly in the apartment
category alone. We are excited to be a part of this unique, expanding
resource.”
