About the client

The client is one of the leading online rental search portals in the US. It is distinguished by its highly customizable searches, superior visual ads, and its facilitation of direct communication between renters and property managers across the country. The client's portal delivers highly qualified, ready-to-rent prospects to more than 1,00,000 available units for rent, which increases closure rates and decreases the average cost of leasing an apartment.

The challenge

The client envisioned a portal that could manage rental properties, facilitate tenants to view all listed properties, search for their needs using keywords.
