These units are located throughout the boroughs of the city, and many are within walking distance of some of the city’s most populated schools. Also, the database is re-filtered daily, ensuring users they are only viewing available units.
Igluu CMO Zack Gaylis believes Igluu has positioned itself for great success.
“We’re constantly exploring ways to get creative in combining social networking and real estate. Our partners have joined us in this movement, allowing for us to connect with our target market in so many different and exciting ways. Not only do we have a lot of inventory, but many of the units are in desired locations around universities and big companies. It gives us an incredible opportunity to grow our community, our brand and certainly to scale.”
By leveraging technology to provide users with the most updated and relevant information, people are connecting more efficiently, viewing listings more adequately and better comprehending fair market value. While users and renters are benefiting from Igluu, management companies and brokers are actually profiting. As Igluu users connect with each other more efficiently, they are looking for apartments much earlier, resulting in higher transaction rates and reduced vacancies. Igluu ensures that units are being taken care of, but also procures to increase a positive reputation with the property owners it works with, boosting the demand for their listings and further growing their businesses.
Igluu has partnered with companies who share its vision of revolutionizing the real estate industry. Working with one of the leading lease guaranty insurance providers on the east coast allows Igluu to grant most of its users the ability to secure the apartment of their choice. Within just hours of review and a one-time fee, most applicants are able to get the apartments they love and rid themselves of apartment-hunting anxiety.
The likelihood of receiving guaranteed lease insurance has immediately elevated Igluu’s reputation, comforting many people who are either put off by or forced to pay significantly high prepay penalties. Conversely, landlords benefit just as much, knowing the rent is guaranteed and shifting their attention to other potential tenants. With its extensive inventory and trusted insurance provider, Igluu has opened a whole new market for students, young professionals and foreigners looking to live in the city.
Along with a secure network of companies that share its vision is key to the development of the company. Igluu’s growing brand awareness and positive association has resulted well for its partnered property owners and management companies, driving more PR to their buildings and units.
In an exciting new collaboration with one of its partners, Igluu is creating a massive buzz around the industry and amongst its community. After reaching one million users on its platform, Igluu is promising to offer one user free rent for an entire year in a luxury apartment. As its community continues to grow with promotions like this, Igluu’s partners will continue receiving strong recognition on its website.
What distinguishes Igluu from the rest is that it has built a platform that caters to all parties of the rental business. Whether its renters, brokers, property owners or management companies, each receives value from Igluu. People finally have a resource for legitimately connecting with roommates they can call friends and brokers have a resource to bolster their client services with. Meanwhile, management companies and landlords have a fast-operating and reliable platform to promote their vacancies.
Although the real estate industry remains incredibly prosperous, especially in the city, there remains a significant appetite for reliability and transparency. Igluu is transforming the industry through its integration of advanced technology to better connect people with each other and apartments, while improving the overall market efficiency. As more Millennials continue migrating to major cities like NYC, Igluu is serving as their guidance.
