ABODO Assistant – a Concierge Service for Apartment Hunters

Mobile app with live local experts helps renters find apartments with
ease

MADISON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apartment search startup ABODO today announced the release of ABODO
Assistant, the industry’s first personal assistant for apartment
hunters.

Powered through live chat, ABODO Assistant provides the perfect mix of
time saving and personalization that millennial renters crave. Renters
provide search criteria to an apartment search expert who sifts through
hundreds of rentals across several listing sites, including Craigslist,
to find their curated and personalized list of top matches.

“We started ABODO because searching for a new place can be really
stressful,” noted Alec Slocum, the company’s founder and CEO. “Our
mission has always been to make it easy for our renters to access our
huge selection of available rentals. And we realized we could solve an
industry void by helping renters research their options through a
convenient, personalized concierge service.”

With deep local market knowledge, Assistants are prepared to answer
common questions around neighborhood characteristics, transportation
options and other key details. After the Assistant confirms unit
availability, users can contact the property directly or have their
ABODO Assistant help through the entire rental process.

“The response from renters has been extraordinary,” added Slocum. “Most
of our renters don’t enjoy looking for a new apartment. When they
realize our experts are just like having a friend give you advice on
where to live in an unfamiliar city, their excitement and relief is
real.”

The free service, which is currently available in the ABODO
iOS app, will soon be available on the company’s web and Android
apps.
