RentHop Arrives in Chicago to Aid Apartment Hunters
A new apartment search website has arrived in the Windy City. RentHop has expanded to the Chicago real estate area and will offer apartment hunters a better way to find their next place.
One of the many aspects that sets RentHop apart from other apartment finding websites is the Hop Score feature. This unique feature does more than just inform apartment hunters on price and posting dates of real estate. According to Rent Hop, the Hop Score utilizes sophisticated algorithms to bring consumers information regarding:
- The quality, timeliness and completeness of the listing.
- The internal track record of the listing within RentHop (price drops, how many inquiries an apartment has received, etc.).
- The previous behavior of the broker or landlord offering the apartment (how quickly they respond to your inquiries).
These three dimensions form a tapestry of the most appropriate listings for each unique apartment seeker.
The best part? Rent Hop is free! In addition, RentHop has partnered with YouGoListings, RealtyMX and RentJuice to provide special promotions to their clients.
So how does it work?
RentHop lets apartment hunters search by apartment size, location, price and specific amenities. The site displays the highest-ranking apartments based on the search criteria first as renters navigate through the results. Once a renter finds an apartment that interests them, they can save the listing or get in touch with landlords and real estate brokers through RentHop to set up a showing.
“The apartment search process can be incredibly challenging. In large cities there are far too many listings advertised but only very few genuinely worth taking the time to view. Our unique data-driven approach simplifies the process so that apartment hunters can make highly informed decisions and cut through the clutter,” said Lee Lin, CEO and Founder of RentHop. “RentHop provides a new way of looking for an apartment, and we are thrilled to be expanding our service to Chicago.”
