"The MyHousingSearch.com system has been working great for us. Landlords are very pleased with the system and are very excited about not having to stand in long lines to list their property. Our participants are also excited that they can search the listing based on their needs and particular location. As a Housing Authority, MyHousingSearch.com has allowed us to move an employee to another position, saving us money, phone calls have decreased and staff time is spent in other areas of the Housing Choice Voucher Department. This system has been a life saver for us as department. Your staff is very knowledgeable and customer service oriented. I am always pleased with the quality of service I receive when I call."

Connie Mercer

"MyHousingSearch.com has been a lifesaver. Instead of trying to maintain all properties available for rent on a limited spreadsheet, MyHousingSearch.com has been able to take that task and make it so simple for all owner/landlords and the staff at Greensboro Housing Authority. Our owners/landlords have been very pleased with the "user-friendly" format, and the fact that they can go online to make any changes is a great benefit. Thank you MyHousingSearch.com, for your professionalism, and your excellent customer service! Keep up the good work; you've made my job a lot easier!"

service I have even had occasions were I have been able to find tenants for
my units before they were ready. Wow!! Now that's quality service.
Thanks MyHousingSearch.com."
Wallace Vaughn
Kansas City, MO
"I am very grateful for this Website. I placed my home on
MyHousingSearch.com within a half of day I received three calls from prospective
tenants that found my information by searching at the
library. The Internet
is so fast and efficient Going through that list that they used to having at
the housing authority was very time consuming. I found a great tenant fast
and it was easy for her to get information on my house because it was so
easy to access."
John Swanson - Landlord
Kansas City, M0
"This service is the best! My experience with MyHousingSearch.com
was great. I have to admit I was a little skeptical when the Housing
Authority told me to call an agency in North Carolina to list my properties
here in Kansas City. I thought "this isn't going to work, the tenants won't
be able to receive the information." I listed 5 units. I now have all of my
properties occupied with wonderful tenants that pay on time and take care of
my units. 3 of these tenants received the information about my homes through
MyHousingSearch.com. and the other two were word of mouth. I encouraged everyone
to use the service. "
Jeremy Dirck - Landlord
Kansas City, M0
"MyHousingSearch.com helped me [in] very many ways. When it comes to finding houses or apartments you are sure to find something to your likin[g]. If you are a person like me without any credit, nine times out of ten you can find someone willing to work with you and rent their property to you because they know how hard it is finding something. Because they were once in the same shoes that we were in with little of nothing. I would like to thank all of the landlords for helping families like mine."
C. Goodwin - Found Housing

"MyHousingSearch.com has not only been an avenue for recipients to find phenomenal housing, but the Website has also been a networking source for contractors/landlords and landlords/landlords."
Denise Sparks - Licensed Contractor

makes it easy for me to keep my properties updated and current. The

well appreciated."
Tim Stauffer
Kansas City, MO
"MyHousingSearch.com has revolutionized the way St. Louis residents identify affordable housing opportunities. For the first time, they enjoy
easy access to timely, good quality information on available rental units,
both Section 8 and market rate. The Website narrows the search for appropriate
housing, making the process more convenient for single parents and those
with limited transportation. In addition, there's no doubt that
MyHousingSearch.com has succeeded in increasing significantly our community’s
Section 8 voucher usage, while at the same time minimizing rental vacancies
for participating landlords. The full benefit of this service—to
social service providers, landlords, Housing Authorities and tenants alike—is
immeasurable."
Katrina
Knight, MSW, Director

is the best!!! I've had the opportunity to work with the listing service
as well as refer some of my friends, and the outcome has
been great! The system is so easy to use and it gives you more information

a property is right there. I love it and I hope to continue working with
it for a long time to come!!! I know I will be referring more people! Thank
you MyHousingSearch.com!"

Kansas City, MO
MyHousingSearch.com Staff
A note of thanks for the professional property listing and advertising!
As a new subscriber to your service, I must admit that I was somewhat reluctant! That doubt, however was removed within hours of advertising our first property. As a result of your thorough advertising listing, I received at least twenty calls within the first day.
The telephone inquires were well informed of the property location and specific details.
Their knowledge base as a result of your listed information provided a precious time saving on my end. The astute computer user was able to download the details and use this information base as a means of providing travel and time saving advantages.
As a result of the professionalism exercised on your end, all parties were well served. In addition I readily share my positive experience with others regarding your highly productive social service.
Respectfully - "Sam" - Landlord
St. Louis, MO
"Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful service. Each person that I spoke with was very helpful and my property was rented less than 48 hours after posting it on the list."
Michael P.
St. Louis, MO
"You guys are doing an excellent job; I've received over 50 calls since I
listed my property, I kid you not. At first I didn't think the Internet would work for Section 8 clientele, but
I've found that thought to be totally false. It's the only way I'll list
properties from now on."
Terressa T.
Charlotte, NC
"To Whom it may Concern,
Where have you been all my property management life!!! We are the owners of the St. James Place Apartments and soon to be the owners of Bingham Court. Since your service began last month in St. Louis, we have received countless calls inquiring about our apartments. My prominent property signage doesn't generate as many calls, nor did the expensive newspaper ads, as my MyHousingSearch.com listing. Thank you for your service. I hope it helps as many people as it has helped me."
G. Sladek
St. Louis Investment Co.
"Thanks to MyHousingSearch.com I found a tenant the same day I listed my property
on your site. When I called MyHousingSearch.com once with a question a friendly,
very helpful person answered."
A. Adams
Property Provider
"Thank
you for the fantastic service that your company provides. My service requests
have always been met with a prompt and courteous response."
"I have been using MyHousingSearch.com for the past year. It's a fantastic
tool for both the landlord and renter. As a landlord, the response to my
listings has been overwhelming. I receive many follow-up inquiries, particularly
on my Section 8 listings."
"Even if the renter does not have Internet access, the fine folks at
the Charlotte Housing Authority will print off a list (directly from MyHousingSearch.com)
and provide a free copy to the renter. The renter can access the list from
any library. The landlord can update this list from his or her office, and
the service frees up time for employees of the Housing Authority to serve
its customers in more important ways. Overall, I give this service an A+.
This program is certainly a benefit to any organization, municipality, or
governmental agency that is committed to serving its people!"

a bunch!"
Deborah Hopkins

"I
assist many clients daily in their search for Section 8 housing as well
as community resources that assist with utilities, deposit, shelters job
placement, etc. Many clients were not aware of the different services
and resources available in their counties. MyHousingSearch.com has provided
a quick and efficient means of accessing resources, as well as, a computer
101 course from me."
Clint

"Thanks
for the very professional follow up. It is a pleasure dealing with an
agency and people like yourself. Thanks again for all your support, you
certainly walk the extra mile for a customer. PS - I rented the house
last night!"

am writing to tell you what a wonderful service your agency is providing
to both the renters and the homeowners. I have rented two properties through

evening; we already have received a call. We are showing the property
today. Every time I have called for help on the computer, your office staff has been
most obliging in helping me. Thank you!"

It really works. If I have another property to list, I will use MyHousingSearch.com!"
Deborah Johnson
Property Owner/Provider
"This Website has been a real lifesaver for me! Many times women come in to the
center, and they have serious budget problems, domestic violence issues,
or transportation difficulties. It's great to be able to key in the zip
code they want to live in, their maximum monthly rent, and then presto!
I send them out the door with real possibilities, not a bunch of agencies
that they have to maneuver. I can't speak highly enough of this service.
It's incredibly empowering for the women, too, that they can access the
site later on their own. Go, MyHousingSearch.com!"
Lisa-Gaye Hall - Coordinator
Women's Resource Center, Central Piedmont Community College
"I love this idea! Before, when the Housing Authority had the list, it was
really hard to keep up to date. Now you can just go online and do it yourself!
This is great!"
Jennifer Gunter - Office Manager
K & P Rentals
"This is a wonderful site! The Housing Authority gave me your information. It
is really difficult to find Section 8 properties and your site narrows it
down a whole lot. I really like the maps too! This is the second time I've
used [MyHousingSearch.com] this month. You have taken a big load off my back."
Chameka - Section 8 Voucher recipient
"Found out about your site from the newspaper and from my mom. Thanks for your
help! I'm looking at three apartments this week that I found on your site."
Star Leigh - Client searching for affordable housing
"We will submit thousands of referrals to your site."
"By the way, I was on [Just 1 Call's] phones last week, and referred a customer
to you...[w]hat they actually wanted was a printout of the listings on
your site that met their criteria. I was able to print out the info in
a clear, useful fashion."
Alan Geltman - Project Coordinator - Just 1 Call

"I would just like to say that MyHousingSearch.com has truly been an asset to our
agency. We have clients that come in looking for affordable housing on a
daily basis. I just put in the amount that they can afford, and get a quick
and efficient response. MyHousingSearch.com is truly a life saver for me as
well as the clients that come through our services."

have passed the information along to the folks around here. [Copy of Notice]:
There is a housing database for the Charlotte area that is now up and running
at: http://www.MyHousingSearch.com. This is the best source in town for housing
options. Check it out!"
Wanda Hayward (Creator of "Wanda's List")
14-year veteran client representative
"I was working with a victim of Domestic Violence here in ------. Using MyHousingSearch.com,
I was able to find housing, narrow down the choices to two units, send the
client to Charlotte, not waste any time searching, and the client rented
one of the units, a safe house in a good area. She and her children are
safe and, thanks to your [Web] site, they were relieved of the added burden
of house-hunting during the most stressful time of their lives!"
Social Worker - located outside of the State of North Carolina
"Thank you so much for helping [us] find a house without having to run all over
town. This was so easy to use!"
Kiesha E. - Single mom searching for housing - new to Charlotte
"I'm totally excited about this. My boss is too. We publish a newsletter periodically
to our owners (we're a limited partnership), and this is not only going
to be in our newsletters, but we will be encouraging people to check out
your site, and possibly see if we can send some contributors your way."

I can find housing for my clients [to look at] before they ever leave here.
I told all my co-workers of your [Web] site."
Urainia Nelson - Social Worker - Statton Island, New York
"It is very clear, simple, and user friendly. I like that it is not jumbled
with a lot of "stuff". Please send me some information on how
to get my agency involved in this site."
Lisa F. - Housing Counselor
" This is a wonderful Website whose time has come! I received a voucher
for Section 8 in February and have been combing the ads - newspaper, real
estate, word of mouth, churches, etc.- to try to find something! And even
before then - being a single parent of 2 daughters with only one income
and fair-weather child support, affordable housing was always an urgent
issue. Thank you so much for taking the time to remember those of us who
are not in the market for a new $200,000 condo or even a $70,000 home.
It has been frustrating with a lot of "no's"...I now have a
few prospects. Kudos! This could also be a way for a lot of people to
learn about the [I]nternet and how to research it for valuable information."
"This is a very helpful site that narrows what you are looking for down to the
detail. It includes a map, contact numbers and how close you are to public
transportation, parks etc. The only thing the client is left to do is
call or go apply."
Kimberly W. - Client searching for affordable housing
"Thank You!! With the help of MyHousingSearch.com, we have a methodology to continue
to build momentum and harness creativity for meaningful affordable housing
solutions. These are important contributions to our community and will help
us to be even more effective advocates. We look forward to continued
partnership with MyHousingSearch.com."
