Real
words from Real Customers!
"...PS: I was really surprised how fast the
Flare thing works. I'll use it again if and
when I ever need to do apartment hunting."
-Michelle Wong
"I like how everything is
organized into my favorites and the map
function is really cool. I haven't seen a
map that can move around anywhere else. [Calirents.com
Staff writes: Glad you like it. Our chief,
negotiated with a site to get that function
into the service.]"
-Charles Smith
"This was fantastic! found
my place on the very 2nd listing with your
[FLARE] search engine! I had only a day [to]
find a place before moving out here, this
was a really big relief for me. Keep up the
great work!"
-Jordan White
"I was looking for a very specific place,
and it only took me a few days to find it. I
would look on free sites for months before
this and I could only find large expensive
new listings. It was definitely worth paying
to find my apartment..."
-Marian Clark
"...Also, thank you very much for the
support you've given me. I enjoyed being
able to come to your mobile store and being
able to print out the listings when my
printer broke. A bad situation relieved by
some kind people..." [Calirents.com Staff
writes: You're more than welcome Sue. Glad
that we could help. Thanks for looking to us
when you needed it.]
-Sue Moyer
"...I used to use [another site] but I
really find that the pricing here, and the
pricing for return customers is even better.
You really do have more listings and I like
the format of this site much much better
than [the other]. I have been referring new
people to you quite often as well...[Calirents.com
Staff writes: We're super glad you like it.
And be sure to sign-up for our affiliates
program when referring new people, you can
make some good side money just by
telling your friends your affiliate code before they join.]"
-Danny Chen
"I decided to sign-up for a full
membership after I added a lot of places to
my favorites and actually ended up renting
one of them. Great location, right next to
my work. I am so happy, I just I couldn't
ask for a better result after my last place.
Hopefully you'll add even more discounts in
the future but I can't complain - it worked
out. [Calirents.com Staff writes: Glad it
worked out Colin! We'd like to price it
free, but then none of the great places like
the one you found would list with us.
Hopefully more people will realize it
definitely pays to pay a small upfront fee
to save big on monthly renters fees.]"
-Colin Robertson
"...I don't know how common it is, but it
saved me a lot....I asked my neighbor how
much they paid for their place (right next
door mind you and EXACT same place), and
didn't want to tell them how cheap I got
mine. Seriously, my rent was $150 less per
month, same place. I guess everything is
cheaper online isn't a lie... [calirents.com
staff: It certainly is true of everything.
People expect things cheaper and done
yesterday when purchasing online. It's
because it's real time competition. When you
go to a sales store, it's not easy to go to
another if you don't like something. Online
you can see 20 stores and their prices in
the time it takes to search one brick and
mortar establishment. The same holds true
for listings. Not all have realized this,
but many do, and we try to remind them of
this point, so they keep giving you better
deals.]"
-Rick Cohen
"..hate westsiderentals.com. They always
over charge me and throw ads everywhere and
try to get me to sign-up for every single
thing. I saved $10 with [calirents.com] compared to them
and it looks like I'll save $15 if I need your service again right? [We wrote: definitely!]
Here is no BS. Big improvment over them."
-Mark Rose
"I am so tired of looking through
craigslist. It takes FOREVER!!!!!! My time
was running out and I broke down and got a
full membership and I'm sooo mad I didn't do
it earlier. It probably would have saved me
over 10 hours! I'm never going to hassle
with that again - ever. Thank you."
-Cynthia Brown
"I'm one of your affiliates. Though I
joined your program before becoming a
customer myself I have to tell you I didn't
even know what I was selling on [my
website]. It truly is great technology
powering this and I don't know how you get
all of the listings, but it is terrific.
I've been making a lot of sales and am glad
I knew where to turn the moment I decided to
move."
-Harrington White
"[One of the listers on Calirents.com] I
didn't even know about you until I started
getting contacted just about everyday
through members of your calirents. I had
been trying to list the unit for 3 weeks.
From the day I started getting emails, I
think I rented it out in probably 4 days and
had 5 people looking at the place, and all
of them came to look at it. With other
places people have been flakey and it was an
enormous waste of time..."
-Luis Martinez
"You all have been very friendly and I
have told many friends about my experience.
Keep it up."
-Brad Young
"... and the free soda on the beach and
free parking was pretty awesome. I'll send a
few friends down when the move out in the
spring. If I sign-up for the affiliates
program can they both buy through me? [we
answered "of course", of course!].."
-Justin Hill
"...thought this might be something you
can post on your testimonial page. It seems
that no one has really touched on the FLARE
part [our search engine]. I found it to be
extremely helpful myself. Although I didn't
get the perfect results, I did find that
results were, in general, far better than
not using it, or than for looking for one
specific things. I read the page just a bit
ago and it does exactly what it says, by
giving you results about [listings] that may
not have everything we all want for the
price we're willing to pay, but gives us a
lot better choices. At first I ranked having
a pool high, my results weren't quite as
good. I went back and changed a few things
after really thinking what was necessary,
and that made a very large impact...I don't
think any other place can do this. [As a
side note from Calirents staff: no other
place does do this, it's our patent pending
technology thanks to the willingness of the
Internatianal Housing Database. Bryan (the
CEO) developed this when he realized that he
was willing to give up some things, but
really wanted others, and thought others
could benefit from this.]"
-Emma Ferguson
"You got it fixed, and in like 30
minutes. That's good stuff. [Calirents.com

broken. :)]"
-William Collins
"I heard about you through the homeless
organization I work for.... I used to use
[another site] but this one worked just
fine. [Calirents staff: We weren't looking
for sales when we wanted to help others, but
glad we could be of service!]"
-Ethan Cox
"How long is your cash discount going to
last? I have a few friends wanting to join
if they can get that. I told them about
you..."
- Hannah Peterson
"It's funny. I remember before signing up
you wrote saving headaches on your site. I
had probably wasted hours of my life looking
through crappy craigslist... [Calirents.com]
was all so easy I seriously laughed when I
found my new place. Thanks Mike for turning
me on to this [Calirents.com Staff writes:
Shout out to one of our awesome support guys
Mike Bernard!]..."
-Jacob Shaw
That's just the
short list. We have dozens and dozens more
but no time to list them all (and the page
size would be too big!)
