BOOMING REAL ESTATE MARKET FORCES YOUNG PROFESSIONALS TO BECOME ROOMMATES IN WASHINGTON, DC
From the Mall to Georgetown, today’s young professionals are drawn to the financial, cultural and recreational resources of this dynamic city. As more people call Washington DC, “home,” the race is on to locate and afford lodging within the city limits and beyond. With rent increasing over the past three years, even a humble studio apartment is beyond the reach of many young professionals.
Fortunately, in more than 250 cities across the US, and now in the Washington DC area, RoommateAccess.com assists housing-hunters with the latest innovation in technology. Launched in response to soaring rent, this website provides a fast, efficient and inexpensive option to the high cost of real estate agents and the time-consuming task of searching by oneself.
TOSS THE PAPER, STIFF THE REALTOR, STAY OFF THE SIDEWALK
Their fingers are no longer black with newsprint nor their faces red with frustration from searching for a compatible roommate. Neither are their pockets empty from shelling out for the help of the best realtor. Perhaps today’s young professional’s only discomfort in the pursuit of compatible digs or roomies is an overworked mouse-clicking index finger. RoommateAccess.com, the Web site for individuals looking for rooms and/or roommates or wanting to list rooms, has arrived.
HOW DOES IT FLY?
For a one-time nominal membership fee, currently being waived in many cities new to the service, RoommateAccess.com offers individuals seeking a roommate or a room the ability to cross-reference all of their preferences to find their ideal living arrangement. An update only of rooms and roommates meeting selected criteria is forwarded to customers usually on a daily basis – until a suitable arrangement is found. Detailed information and photos of listed apartments can be viewed by logging onto the company’s Web site at http://www.roommateaccess.com.
