The guys behind the first and only virtual walk-through technology (NeuStep) have expanded their brand once again, and not everyone is happy about it.
- CHICAGO, IL, February 14, 2007 - We have all had the experience of renting a residential unit from a landlord or property management company at one point in our life. All of your personal details placed under a microscope to determine if you are worthy, but what about the landlord or the management company? Are they fair? For a long time a prospective renter didn"t have an easy way of knowing the background of these companies and individuals. That has all changed with the launch of the service NeuLandlord.
The NeuLandlord team has spent a considerable amount of resources researching and developing the most important criteria about a landlord or management company. Based on this information, they have created an easy-to-use free review and ratings system which is available in a variety of formats, including on their website. www.neulandlord.com.
"The building managers often start the day by standing in the hallway and yelling at each other in German" says chicagogirl21 when posting about Chicago-based Beal Properties. She continues, "It is currently 13 degrees below 0 with the wind-chill and our heat has been on once today." Beal Properties currently has a 2.4 overall rating. Another user posts "Mr. Epstein cannot define "respect" from a dictionary" when speaking of San Francisco based Mark Epstein of The Epstein Group. They currently have a 1.4 overall rating.
NeuLandlord"s influence will not solely exist on the Internet. Their user-generated content will also appear in publications and other traditional and non-traditional forms of media. "We wanted to establish some sort of far-reaching accountability within the rental market," says Gene Ellis, an Executive Application Developer for NeuCompanies. "They are checking up on you, why not check up on them?" NeuLandlord is also forming strategic partnerships within the law community in case of tenants needing affordable legal counsel to resolve a rental dispute.
NeuLandlord has already begun fielding angry letters from landlords claiming the website gives them a bad name. Landlords and management companies are able to respond to comments on the website. They also have the option of giving themselves a self-evaluation, however it will not affect their tenant-based ratings.
NeuLandlord is directly affiliated with NeuCompanies based out of Chicago, Illinois. The brand Neu is owned wholly by NeuCompanies. NeuLandlord is dedicated to enforcing fairness in the rental residential market.
"We"re not done yet" says the team at NeuCompanies. "We have other exciting products and services coming your way very soon. We"re the "neu" guys in town."
