Company Information
APARTMENT ConNeXTion Rental Guide was founded in 2002 in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Our plan was simple: Give renters available unit information in a convenient, well organized, side-by-side comparison format. Renters gravitated toward our rental marketing service, just like homebuyers gravitate toward the MLS®. Heavy renter use and appreciation of our rental marketing services created cost effective advertising value for rental owners.
APARTMENT ConNeXTion is a locally owned business dedicated the highest quality service for our communities. We created the best and most popular renter search experience. This gives owners the most effective connection to renters who want what they have to rent. Virtually every serious renter prospect uses apartmentconnextion to search for their next rental home. In every market we serve, the number of actively engaged online renters (average 13+ minutes visiting 12+ pages) exceeds the number of rental turnovers.
APARTMENT ConNeXTion provides a complete rental marketing service. We gather sufficient information from you to create the most effective marketing presentation for your rental. Over 13 years we have talked to thousands of renters and tracked responses to tens of thousands of monthly listings. We understand the renter decision process and know what information they want. Our listing display format, "walking tour" description, and interior photo array enhance the presentation of your rental. The renter gets a fair and accurate independent description in a convenient search and compare format. Renters who want what your rental offers connect with you.
