Ewing, NJ, September 8, 2010 – ApartmentGrade.com and SatisFacts Research announced today that they have formed a strategic alliance that provides ApartmentGrade.com with a comprehensive survey program to offer to apartment owners and managers so their communities may be rated and listed at the ApartmentGrade.com. The alliance is also designed to mutually benefit current and new clients of SatisFacts and significantly increase the number of total rated communities listed at ApartmentGrade.com. Under the terms of the alliance, all SatisFacts clients will now be able to list, at no cost, any of their communities that receive a 3.5 rating (out of 5.0) or higher to the ApartmentGrade.com web site.
"ApartmentGrade.com is pleased to announce our strategic alliance with Satisfacts Research," says Lucas Haldeman, president of ApartmentGrade.com. "SatisFacts is an industry leader in multifamily surveys and will provide ApartmentGrade.com a great platform to offer our new clients, as well as expand the number of rated communities on our web site. At the same time, we look forward to benefiting the apartment owners and managers of these rated communities with increased web traffic and exposure to potential renters looking for trusted communities to call home."
"We are extremely happy to form this alliance with ApartmentGrade.com", says Doug Miller, president of SatisFacts Research. "This agreement is a natural extension of our client-driven survey process and offers a great, no cost benefit to all current and new SatisFacts clients. While providing increased marketing and web exposure to prospective residents, this alliance also provides our clients an opportunity to highlight their highly rated communities for their own marketing purposes, as well as address concerns regarding web sites that allow anonymous reviews of apartment communities."
