RISMEDIA, July 9, 2007—Apartments.com, an apartment rental listing service, announced it has been selected as the featured apartment listing provider on Yahoo! Real Estate. Through this relationship, Yahoo! Real Estate users can search for apartments on the Apartments.com database of more than three million apartment listings, one of the largest national databases of rental units available online.
“We are excited about the opportunity to bring together two leading destinations in online real estate, and offer a valuable service to both renters and property managers looking to fill vacancies,” said Kevin Doyle, senior vice president and general manager of Apartments.com. “By enabling Yahoo!

In doing so, we will provide even more highly qualified leads to our advertisers, thus reducing the cost for an apartment community to fill a vacancy.”
Visitors to Yahoo!
