Press Release Body: http://www.platinumproperty.ie one of the leading property
management and real estate agencies in Cork City has launched a new website aimed at
connecting tenants with the very latest apartments for rent in Cork City. With close
to 8 years experience in the cork property market, managing directors Andrew Duggan
& Andrew Creighton spoke yesterday of the reason they decided to launch the new
website.

"Both Andrew and I have been discussing launching a cork specific apartment rental
website for quite some time now and we are both delighted with how the website has
been received by tenants and property owners alike" said Andrew Duggan "Over the
past 8 years both Andrew and I have seen more and more people turn away from the
traditional forms of advertising apartments for rent as the major online property
rentals websites took a hold of the industry.

However, over the past year or so, a growing number of tenants and property owners
have been commenting on how impersonal those major property rental websites can be.
Many property owners felt that their rental property was simply being swallowed up
by the thousands of other rental properties being listed and relisted every day
whilst many tenants commented on how the majority of apartments listed for rent in
Cork didn't contain enough information and that they frequently wasted hours driving
to view rental apartments that looked nothing like the descriptions posted in the
property listing." he added.

Managing director Andrew Creighton went on to say "When we heard property investors
and tenants speaking like that about the property rental advertising industry, we
knew we had to react. With the recent downturn in the real estate industry, we felt
that more and more people would be seeking apartments to rent in Cork and that a
more personal, targeted and local service was needed to ensure property investors
and property owners could reach apartment seekers looking for the perfect apartment
to rent."

The website launch, which was attended by some of the leading figures in the Cork
real estate industry, saw the new website being heralded as a breath of fresh air by
local property investor Liam Murphy.

"I have rented a number of my apartments through the traditional press and online
advertising models over the years but wasn't too happy with the level of response I
was getting for my apartment rental listings or with the increasing costs of
advertising on those sites. I have worked with both Andrews for years and when they
told me about their new apartment rentals website I was genuinely delighted that
someone was going to give the Cork apartment rental market a more personal solution
in finding tenants" he said.

"Though the website is only weeks old, I have already had a terrific response from
tenants who have been in touch with me through the website, and I have successfully
found great tenants for three apartments I wanted to let in Cork. At the end of the
day it comes down to results and PlatinumProperty.ie has definitely delivered."

Thanking those in attendance for their support, Andrew Duggan went on to add that
both current and future property investors as well as tenants could rest assured
that the launch of this cork specific apartment rentals website is only the first
stage in their quest to provide apartment seekers and property owners the easiest
solution for renting apartments in Cork City and with a team of professional
property management specialists on board, Platinum Property would continue providing
property owners and tenants with the kind of service that has seen them become the
name the cork apartment rental market trusts in Cork Apartment Rentals.
