InauguralHomes.com (www.inauguralhomes.com) officially launched a new website where area residents can list their properties for rent and visitors to the Nation’s Capital can find lodging during Inauguration week. Early estimates indicate that up to five million visitors may descend upon the Nation’s capital to witness the historic swearing-in of the Nation’s 44th President and first African-American President. “Most hotel rooms are already sold out, and those that are still available are set at record-breaking prices”, said Andre Butters, principal at InuaguralHomes.com, LLC “. “Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive collection of properties in and around D.C. available for rent during inauguration week.”
“We are in historic times”, said Butters. “Residents across the mid-Atlantic area recognize an opportunity to rent their homes and earn extra income. At the same time, people coast-to-coast are eager to bear first-hand witness to the upcoming inauguration. We are excited to provide a platform where renters and landlords can find one another.”
What distinguishes InauguralHomes.com is the specialized nature of its listings. “We recognized the need for a centralized database for renters and landlords to find one another ahead of Inauguration week”, said Butters. “Other classified sites commingle rentals properties, so the renter has to spend more time sorting between general rental market listings and specialized inauguration rentals. We cater to one market, the 2009 Presidential Inauguration rental market”, Butters continued. “For a modest advertising fee, landlords gain access to large group of potential tenants. Similarly, for a one-time subscription fee, visitors gain access to a large list of inaugural rentals.”
As part of the program, InauguralHomes.com plans to donate 10% of each subscription to local charities. With over 5,000 people living on the street in D.C., homelessness in the Nation’s capital is a real problem. “We want to help raise national awareness and provide a way for individuals to give back in a measurable way. We want to do our part to ensure that those less fortunate are not overlooked during this historic moment.”
