Second Porch enables travelers to rent and recommend vacation homes with friends, and friends of friends, on Facebook. CorporateHousingByOwner.com connects individuals offering furnished rentals with tenants in need of short-term, furnished housing. This partnership allows thousands of furnished vacation and corporate rental properties listed on CorporateHousingByOwner.com to also be accessible through the Second Porch Facebook application.
“This partnership enables travelers who visit Second Porch to use an innovative combination of public and ’social search’ to find vacation rental homes in major cities across the U.S. and Canada,” says Brent Hieggelke, president of Second Porch. “We are finding that more individuals demand to stay in a furnished home versus an impersonal hotel during their travels and the most comfortable way to source the perfect home is through your trusted network of friends.”
The listings from CorporateHousingByOwner.com will also be “socially-enabled” by Second Porch, enabling friends to “fan, comment and recommend” the homes to keep track of favorites as well as easily share interesting listings with their Facebook friends.
“Our customers constantly turn to us to help them identify innovative ways to market their corporate rental properties. Our partnership with Second Porch gives our customers the opportunity to take advantage of the broad set of Second Porch social awareness tools so they can share their properties with their extended social networks and find a new channel of potential tenants,” says Kimberly Smith, founder of CorporateHousingByOwner.com.
