     "There has never been a more comprehensive and easy-to-use
service," says CEO John Helm. "We've already assembled an
extraordinary abundance of information, and the addition of our
Resource Center and partners such as Barnes and Noble bookstore will
further increase the magnitude of AllApartments' service. We put
ourselves in our customer's shoes when we designed this site and as a
result, sought to offer the ultimate in choices and convenience.
Everybody knows that moving isn't easy, but AllApartments takes the
sweat out of it."
     "AllApartments is exactly what apartment hunters and renters
need, especially for those moving to a new, unfamiliar area," says
AllApartments customer, Yvonne Hsieh, who moved from Boston to San
Francisco. "Not only is relocating a daunting task, but in today's
busy world, people don't have the time to search for an apartment,
much less move. In no time at all and at my convenience, I was able to
search for an apartment, get help in moving and find information about
my new neighborhood. The one-stop service is incredibly user-friendly
and offers a full-range of useful information."
