USAA working with Vast to expand real estate services
ApartmentFinder.com adds more video
Network Communications Inc.’s ApartmentFinder.com has added a number of new features. Of particular interest, featured listings can now display up to five video links – we reported several years ago in CIR about NCI’s plans to enhance video on its sites.
Also new: the ability to browse by amenities, a feature just launched by Adicio on its Rentals platform (you can read it here – subscribers only). The site also has integrated Microsoft’s Virtual Earth map application as part of the initial search.
ApartmentFinder recently began distributing listings on Vast.com – see our report here.
ApartmentFinder.com listings on OLX.com
NCI’s ApartmentFinder.com has announced a partnership with free online classifieds Web site Olx.com which will now publish all of ApartmentFinder’s listings.
The deal follows one just two days ago between NCI and Vast.com (reported here). That one included not just ApartmentFinder but RealEstateBook.com
ApartmentFinder is doing its best to stay in Hitwise’s Top 100 real estate Web sites. In November 2008, it slipped out of the Top 100. In January it was back in at 84th place. In February, it was gone again. The company undoubtedly hopes all the new partnerships will help keep traffic high.
