Moving can be a daunting and emotional process. It’s important not to lose sight of what really matters, which can sometimes be hard to do. While you may start looking for all the practical things such as access to transportation and proximity to work, you can sometimes find yourself overlooking the big things for the little ones. In the third video in our series, Dick Burke, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Apartments.com, helps renters separate the must-haves from the nice-to-haves. At Apartments.com, we know how many decisions—big and little—go into finding an apartment, which is why we strive to make it easier for renters to see both the big picture and little details during their apartment search, so they can make informed decisions around their move.

As the culmination of our second annual cause campaign Raising Awareness. Taking Action: A Campaign to Help End Homelessness, Apartments.com donated $35,000 to three wonderful organizations dedicated to combating homelessness. This past week, I had the personal privilege to travel to Vogel Alcove in Dallas, TX and People Serving People in Minneapolis, MN to present two checks for $12,500, and then surprised the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless with a check for $10,000.

As part of our campaign, we promised to donate $1 to be shared equally between People Serving People and Vogel Alcove for every new “LIKE” Apartments.com received on Facebook from November until the end of December. While not an official recipient of the 2012 campaign, The Chicago Coalition for the Homeless was presented with a $10,000 check by our General Manager and Senior Vice President, Dick Burke, in recognition for their partnership with Apartments.com in our inaugural cause campaign in 2011.
