| What We Say: | Rent.com covers all the bases of moving in a very nicely designed website. Top-tabs guide site visitors through localized searches for, again, everything- apartments, condos, houses, townhouses and many moving services. Intricately detailed listings give both renters and managers a nicely showcased property with many key details, including “What’s in the Neighborhood” and “Rent.com’s Moving Center.” |
