WASHINGTON, June 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CoStar Group, Inc., owner of Apartments.com, today announced an exclusive partnership with realtor.com® operator Move, Inc. to power the apartment rental listings on Move's websites: realtor.com and Doorsteps.com.  Apartment communities advertised on Apartments.com will be displayed on the Move network, generating exposure to millions of additional potential renters.

Apartments.com advertisers are expected to save more time and further maximize the impact of their advertising dollars.  Apartments listed and advertised on Apartments.com will automatically appear on realtor.com®, ForRent.com, ApartmentFinder.com, WestsideRentals.com, Apartamentos.com, ApartmentHomeLiving.com, AFTER55.com, CorporateHousing.com, ForRentUniversity.com, and Doorsteps.com.

"We believe that with this important new partnership, Apartments.com advertisers will see more leads, leases and better value for their advertising dollars," said Andrew Florance, CoStar Group Chief Executive Officer. "This is great for all of the participants in the marketplace as it increases the likelihood of creating successful connections. Everybody wins."

The Apartments.com network is number one in consumer engagement and is the industry's most heavily trafficked apartment rental network, with more websites, listings and original content for renters than any other network. Mr. Florance continued, "We have invested over $1 billion in our multifamily offerings and we are committed to delivering the best results for all of our audiences, whether they are advertisers, consumers, property managers, investors or lenders."

Offering the most comprehensive source of for-sale MLS-listed properties, realtor.com® is a leading online real estate destination for home buyers, sellers, renters and dreamers, attracting more than 60 million unique users a month. Doorsteps.com is a leading destination for local rental listings, homebuyer education and tools for real estate professionals.

"The entire community benefits from this partnership providing users access to an unsurpassed selection of apartment listings with the high-quality content from Apartments.com," said Ryan O'Hara, Chief Executive Officer of Move. "At realtor.com®, we always work to ensure that we have the widest selection of listings in any category."

This new partnership terminates realtor.com's partnership with Apartment List.  Apartment List listings will be removed from realtor.com® by Sept. 1, 2018.
