ForRent.com embraces virtual communication through new Layar mobile application
Apartment seekers can search thousands of ForRent.com apartment listings through the world’s first augmented reality browser

NORFOLK, Va.-(Dec. 1, 2009) -ForRent.com, anchor Web site of For Rent Media Solutions^TM, a division of Dominion Enterprises, has launched an augmented reality Layar mobile application. The application lets apartment seekers view their current location through the camera of their iPhone^® 3G S or Google Android mobile phone with a “layer” that shows them all the available apartments on ForRent.com within a 10-mile radius.

As a free mobile application, available from the iTunes Store or from Android Markets, Layar shows users their surroundings by displaying real-time digital information on top of reality through the camera of their cell phone. Once the apartment seeker selects the property of their choice, phone and email contact information appears at the bottom of the screen. Through the Layar application, they can also access the ForRent.com mobile site for even more property information.

“Mobile media is a leading method of communication among consumers,” says Terry Slattery, president of For Rent Media Solutions. “According to comScore Media Metrix, 80.1 million mobile users browse or use mobile applications. While an additional 31 percent use text messaging. The Layar application has been well received worldwide. As the first Internet listing service to use this application, we are proud to be connected to the next step in mobile technology and look forward to the future of mobile media.”

To find ForRent.com listings through Layar, apartment seekers must download the Layar application. Next, they search for the term “apartments” or “ForRent.com” to find the ForRent.com mobile application icon. From there, they simply point their phone in any direction and all available apartments on ForRent.com within a 10-mile radius will appear on the screen as colored pins.

The new mobile application is the latest addition to For Rent Media Solutions’ comprehensive mobile marketing suite of products that cater to the apartment seeker on the go, including the ForRent.com text messaging product, mobile Web site, and two additional mobile applications available through the iPhone^TM and T-Mobile G1^TM (GPhone).

To learn more about Layar and the ForRent.com application, please contact Mike D’Alba, director of mobile marketing at dalba@forrent.com.

For Rent Media Solutions Challenge Cup Raised $16,000 for
National Apartment Association Political Action Committee

Houston and Dallas multi-family housing professionals
teed off against each other for a good cause

NORFOLK, Va.-(June 20, 2007) - For Rent Media Solutions, a leading apartment resource for searching apartments for rent nationwide and a division of Dominion Enterprises, raised $16,000 for the National Apartment Association Political Action Committee (NAAPAC) during the 11^th annual For Rent Media Solutions Challenge Cup golf tournament. Hosted by the Houston Apartment Association, the May 11 event was held at the Falls Resort, in New Ulm, Texas.

The For Rent Media Solutions Challenge Cup was developed in 1996 to support the NAAPAC, which strives to educate Congress about the needs and concerns of the multi-family housing industry. The event is hosted in alternate years by the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas and the Houston Apartment Association. Participants play on one of two teams, representing either Houston or Dallas. Houston took home this year’s trophy, evening the score from Dallas’s win in 2006.

“For Rent Media Solutions has been the title sponsor of this golf tournament since it was developed,” says Brock MacLean, vice president of national sales and development for For Rent Media Solutions, who participated in the tournament as a member of the Dallas team. “We are honored to be a major fundraiser for the NAA Political Action Committee and will continue to contribute to the committee to support its cause.”

The golf tournament is a major fundraiser for NAAPAC, which has received a total of $176,000 contributed through golfer registration fees, since the tournament began.

“Not only has For Rent Media Solutions generously put together this annual fundraiser,” says Irica Solomon, director of political affairs for the National Apartment Association, “but they continue to generate awareness and support for the issues facing the multi-family housing industry. Without involved organizations like For Rent Media Solutions, NAAPAC would not enjoy the strong existence it does today.”
