Our
Services
Welcome Property Owners! We’re so pleased that you have visited the Grand
Rapids Apartments website and hope that you will enjoy your visit here. As you
can see, the site is a wonderful resource for people who are looking for an
apartment in the Grand Rapids area. It’s also a place where local property
owners can advertise their apartment communities and we hope that you will
decide to take advantage of that opportunity.
Since our intent was to provide a website with comprehensive information about
all local apartments, the basic information is included free of charge to
property owners. That basic information includes: apartment name, address,
phone number, and website link (if available and if known to us).
However, there are also other options available to local apartment owners that
will highlight and showcase their apartments for people who visit this website.
These options are described below. To view pricing information for the options,
please visit the Fees and Payments
section.
Your Apartment’s Site within this Website
Apartment owners can create their very own section within the
Grand Rapids Apartments website. Your site can present any and all information
that you would like to share with prospective tenants. That information can include text and
photos and layouts and maps (with directions) and an application form – and
whatever else you would like to include in your own section.
We
have designed a sample page for you to look at to see what is possible; it
includes text and photos for a fictional apartment complex – click
here to see
that section. This is just a sample. If you’d like, you can use that format
and add your own information and pictures. You also have the option to create
your own pages that look the way you want them to look and include the
information that is important to you. We’re not like other services that have
just one standard format, where all apartment listings look the same. We will
work with you to make your presentation unique and just what you want it to be
to best represent your apartment community!
You
will also have the option to update your apartment information as often as you
would like to. We know that many apartments often run specials to attract new
tenants (like a month’s free rent) and you will be able to include those
specials on your section of this website. Also, when rents or other fees
change, let us know, and we’ll immediately update that information on your
pages.
By Location Page
The
basic information for all apartments is listed on the pages in the By Location
section of the website. Apartment communities that choose to advertise with us
will also be able to add some information to this primary list of apartments.
To the right of the listed information is a space where you can include photo(s)
and/or a small amount of text related to your apartments. Click
here to see a
sample page with the options available to you. These options include:
•
two photos
•
one photo with a small amount of text
•
text only
•
one long photo
This
feature is included in the cost of the “Your Apartment Site” option and will
draw attention to your apartments when people view the lists of all apartments.
Featured Apartments
This
option is available for only eight local apartment properties. The above two
services are included in this special service. In addition to the standard
services, eight apartment communities can be featured on the Grand Rapids
Apartments website’s home page. The photo montage on the home page will include
one photo from each of these apartments. As you can see when you visit the
site, the name “ABC Apartments” (the fictional sample site) has been typed on
the first photo and your name can be displayed in that manner if you would
like. Also, the “Featured Apartments” link on the menu at the top of the page
will display the apartment name and link to a photo gallery for that apartment
complex. Within the photo gallery itself, there will be a link to that
property’s section within this website (in addition to the link on the By
Location pages and the Alphabetical List page).
Additional Information for Property Owners
When
you choose the “Your Apartment Site” option, your apartment community will also
have its own website address within our site. You will be able to tell people
to visit you at:
www.grand-rapids-apartments.net/your_apartment_name.
This feature will be especially handy for those apartments that do not yet have
their own websites. Also, you will always control the content of your information that appears on
this website. And potential tenants will contact you directly, not call an advertising
company or other third party. Your office will be the number that
people call when they want to speak to someone about your apartments.
The
Grand Rapids Apartments website has been submitted to multiple search engines on
the world wide web, and is prominently featured on several popular search destinations. Because this website is
different from any other internet place, it has become a favorite
resource for people who are looking for an apartment in the Grand Rapids area.
Most other sites that provide information about apartments are not locally owned
and operated. And all other similar sites only include information about those
apartments that choose to work with them. For that reason, apartment seekers
are often frustrated when they are not able to find complete lists of local
apartments all in one place. Well, they now have that one place to look for a
comprehensive list of apartments in the Grand Rapids metropolitan area. As an
apartment property owner, this website is a unique opportunity for you to
showcase your apartment community to prospective tenants.
Contact Us
Please contact us if you would like more information about our services, or to
make arrangements to add your apartment community to our website. Also, let us
know if the information we have included about your apartments is not accurate or
complete in any way and we will change it.
You
can send us an e-mail
or click here to connect to the
Contact page for property owners. We will respond by e-mail, or by phone if you
prefer (if so, please include that request, along with your phone number, in the
message). We look forward to hearing from you!
