The 12-year-old Santa Monica-based organization has garnered a reputationof producing higher quality tenants for landlords throughout SouthernCalifornia, but has largely relied on word of mouth to build its loyalcustomer base. The Landlord Seminars will present a new level of awarenessby providing landlords with expert tips and advice on how to get theirrentals successfully rented in today's challenging economy.

"Mark [Verge] wanted to offer landlords expert advice by presenting freeweekly seminars for the month of October at our corporate headquarters,"said spokesman Randy Wecker. "It's our aim to provide landlords with thebest possible tools and services to get their properties rented as quicklyas possible."

The Santa Monica-based organization expanded to include the San Diegorental market two years ago and now has 7 office locations to help localrenters throughout Southern California. Verge started in 1996 by callinglocal landlords and listing their vacancies for free out of his garage andthen selling the list as the legendary 4 PM "HotSheet" to lines of eagerrenters. The organization has sustained growth and expanded to over 80employees who regularly check with landlords to confirm the availability oftheir rentals. The service has evolved to serve the higher quality rentersthat landlords seek.

"While most businesses are feeling the pains of the downturn in theeconomy, WestsideRentals.com's business has actually increased due toforeclosures and the increase demand for home rentals. Business has neverbeen better and now is the time to rent," said Wecker.

WestsideRentals.com has been the predominant marketplace for rentals inSouthern California for the last decade by creating tools for landlords topromote their vacancies for free while high quality renters pay $60 for 60days to access the best rentals in Southern California. Tuesday evening'sevent will be catered.
