IntroIn - Get rental referrals
May 26, 2008 – 4:07 pm
So when hunting for a place to live, a lot of people ask for information from friends and family. Some people even ask the people living in the to-be-rental about the living conditions, the area and their general satisfaction. That’s exactly what IntroIn is about. They allow you to browse rental listings and ask the current tenants about what it’s like to live there. What a GREAT concept!
If you live in an apartment complex, you can list yourself as a referral resource and get PAID when someone rents a place near you. How fantastic is that?! The way I see it, there’s no reason NOT to list yourself as a referral resource if you enjoy living where you’re living.
What’s the concept?
Rental referral resource.
Why should you care?
Either you’re looking for a place to live and could use some advice or you live in a great place and want to get paid for talking about how great it is!
How do they make money?
Presumably they take a cut from the leasing office or renting agency.
Will this company last 5 years?
That’s a hard one to say. They have A LOT of listings, but not many referral resources listed yet. It’ll take some time to build the traction they need, but if they do hit a critical mass, they’ll definitely be around for 5 years.
Suggestions for improvements?
Advertise, advertise, advertise. Get the word out and build the network!
