A website service that offers a centralized market for apartment and housing rentals is open for business. On June 12, 2008, Alex Koff, Aaron Glazer, Cobi Druxerman, and Wayne Sang, the founders, launched idLiveThere.com.
By providing quick and positive communication between landlords and tenants, the website is designed to revolutionize current on-line rental registry systems. Landlords are allowed by idLiveThere.com to post, retrieve and update multiple listings through a single account, purchase customized outdoor listing signage, receive online viewing requests from prospective tenants, and retrieve neighborhood information interconnected with 'Google Maps.' idLiveThere.com, with over 10,000 current rental apartment and home listings in over 30 major centres across Canada and the United States, offers an unparalleled resource for prospective tenants who are able to search, view and rent available units within each community.
Including; apartments, houses and vacation homes, idLiveThere.com offers, for landlords, a simple and cost effective way to list and rent their properties. At no cost, high quality listings can include unlimited information and images. The site, most significantly, allows landlords to manage their properties independently without interference.
Co-founder and VP Marketing, Cobi Druxerman, stated: "This is a monumental advancement in providing every level of landlord total freedom and control over their listings." He added: "With idLiveThere.com, landlords can list, edit, deactivate and delete listings through a simple, easy to use property management tool without dependence on a central service. This is their listing and they can manage it with ease whenever they choose."
In a given geographic region, the collaborative technology with Google Maps also allows tenants to search for available rental listings. a prospective tenant, through the 'What's in the Area' function, can retrieve comprehensive information on a particular community. "It is a truly unique experience that we offer our users," says Alex Koff, CTO. "By highlighting local amenities users can easily filter out undesirable locations."
A greater control to consumers over the flow of their personal health information, than is currently provided under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules is provided by Google's new Personal Health Records (PHRs) prototype.
