Apartment Finder
Since 2002, EX2 has been a partner of Network Communications, Inc. (NCI). NCI is a leading publisher of printed and online real estate information in North America. EX2 has implemented many of the NCI print brands online and has a unique success story to tell about the Apartment Finder brand.
From 2003 - 2006, ApartmentFinder.com was one of the many umbrella brands under the LivingChoices.com website. NCI made a strategic decision to separate the Apartment Finder brand from the umbrella platform. Our combined goal was to create an agile, creative, dynamic and- most importantly- cost effective solution, refining the emerging technologies used for apartment community marketing websites.
Since launch in January 2007, the ApartmentFinder.com website has enjoyed:
- 20% increased traffic
- Usability gains that lead to more browse-to-register conversions
A recent survey of consumers supports these measurable success metrics. In summary the study found:
“Apartment Finder is preferred generally by consumers for its usefulness, content and quality, sophisticated features and functionality on the website, as well as the quality of its print magazines and clear photos[...] ApartmentFinder.com was spontaneously mentioned by focus group participants and they consider it one of the best websites because of its relevant search tools, mapping functionality, high quality virtual tours, and extensive property listings”. (Gross 2008)
The technologies used include Microsoft .Net, Microsoft SQL Server, AJAX/RIA technologies, WebTrends and Omniture analytics and Microsoft Virtual Earth.

Bank Of America:
EX2 and Bank of America have teamed up together to develop a new home search platform that adds tremendous value to their existing real estate platform. Within the lead generation model implemented by EX2, Bank of America’s clients can search for a new home and apply for financing without ever leaving BofA’s site.
“EX2 has been an integral partner with Bank of America since January 2006. Their industry leading development cycle coupled with their parent companies rare market positioning has allowed us to implement a real estate channel within our own platform.
The EX2 staff is professional, customer-focused and extremely well organized. Their forward thinking development cycles allowed us to be first to market with our real estate channel and search features. They have been instrumental in the successful launch of our new home search website which has been an excellent value-add and a tremendous lead generator for our mortgage platform.
EX2 is quick to respond to our needs and ideas. They demonstrate all the qualities a company looks for in a partnership!”
