Lawrenceville, GA - (April 1, 2009) – In the midst of an enduring recession, more home shoppers are turning to apartment rentals until the economy strengthens. As a result, two of regional Atlanta’s most recognized media brands have joined forces to create a comprehensive online resource for apartment seekers to shop for their next home. Today, Apartment Finder, the fastest-growing media platform in the multi-family industry, announces a partnership with Atlanta’s premier provider of digital, print and direct marketing solutions, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, to display its apartment listings on ajchomefinder.com and provide an optimum online real estate search experience for renters in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.
