         <title><![CDATA[Search Seattle Craigslist for an Apartment]]></title>
         <author><![CDATA[CraigsToolbox]]></author>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Seattle offers several diverse neighborhoods. And the best way to find an apartment or house for rent in Seattle is through Craigslist. Craigslist offers thousands of listings at any one time so your options are plentiful. The problem that presents is navigating through all of the listings to find the apartment that you want. CraigsToolbox for Craigslist can help with your search. I am going to cover a few ways that CraigsToolbox can help you fins an apartment and be the first inline to sign the lease!</p>
<p>If you are wondering what <a href="/getthetoolbox.aspx">CraigsToolbox</a> is; It is a simple tool that attaches itself to the Craigslist website and provides you with more features.</p>
<h3>Image Preview Tool</h3>
<p>Not much explanation is needed here, you can see the images speak for themself. Instead of clicking on each listing to see what is inside, CraigsToolbox displays each of the listings.</p>
<p><img height="198" width="448" src="/images/image/Blog%20Content/seattle-apartment1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h3>Alerts Tool</h3>
<p>You might be at work, on a date, at the bar and missing all of those new apartment listings. If you are in a high competition area such as Seattle, you need all the help you can get. The Alerts tool will automatically alert you of new listings that match your Craigslist search criteria.</p>
<p>First, you do a normal Craigslist search for an apartment (or anything else for that matter).</p>
<p><img height="76" width="680" src="/images/image/Blog%20Content/seattle-search-apartment.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Then, go to the bottom of your browser and on the CraigsToolbox toolbar, click the Alerts button.</p>
<p><img height="100" width="293" src="/images/image/Blog%20Content/seattle-search-apartment2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The Add Alert window will appear. Enter your email or phone number and you will automatically be notified when a new listing, that matches your search criteria is posted. This should help you get that edge when looking for a rental on Craigslist.<br />
<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Save Listings Tool</h3>
<p>Another tool in your arsenal is the Save Listing Tool. This tool lets you save your favorite listings for review later or on another computer. Tracking which listings you like and have already called on can be difficult and time consuming. This should help out a lot!<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><img height="291" width="480" src="/images/image/Blog%20Content/seattle-search-apartment4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From any computer where you have installed the toolbox, you can access your saved Craigslist listings from the Toolbox Admin tab.</p>
<p><img height="294" width="531" src="/images/image/Blog%20Content/seattle-search-apartment5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hopefully these tools help you land that perfect apartment or house!&nbsp; To download CraigsToolbox, <a href="/getthetoolbox.aspx">go here</a>.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>If your reading this post, you are probably a current CraigsToolbox user, and you still might be on version 3.0. Version 3.0 was a good product, but since then we have made many upgrades. Including better image browsing, an admin interface that lets you specify your preferences, auto search notification, saved listings, and more.</p>
<p>We are hoping to convince you to move to the 6.0 version to take advantacge of these new features. Eventually we will no longer support the old version, so now is a good time to switch!</p>
<p>It will not cost you anything to upgrade. When you switch to the new version, we will set your subscription to auto renew each year. This means your original purchase is still good! Plus you get all the <a href="/features.aspx">new features</a>.</p>
<p><strong>These are the steps to upgrading:</strong></p>
<ol>
    <li>Uninstall your current version. <br />

         <title><![CDATA[Now with FREE CarFax reports]]></title>
         <author><![CDATA[CraigsToolbox]]></author>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img height="183" align="right" width="268" alt="Free Carfax report link example" style="padding-left: 30px;" src="/images/image/Blog%20Content/carfax_report_link.gif" />Recently we added a new feature to the <a href="/GetTheToolbox.aspx">toolbox</a> that searches the Cragslist listing for a automobile&nbsp;VIN number and then provides a link directly to the CarFax or AutoCheck website. This is pretty nice if you have a 3 month CarFax account or something of the nature. I decided to contact Carfax to see if they have anything else we can offer our members. And boy did they come through!</p>
<p>Now we can offer free carfax reports in two ways.</p>
<h3>Free CarFax report way #1</h3>
<p>You click on the carfax link within <a href="GetTheToolbox.aspx">CragsToolbox</a>, a new page opens. If that Carfax report was ever purchased by any dealer, <u>you get to see it free</u>. We tried it out by clicking on 500 auto links and of those 500, 421 of them were available and we didn't pay a dime.</p>
<h3>Free CarFax report way #2</h3>
<p>If when you clicked on the link and the carfax report was not available for free, you get a coupon for a free Carfax report. Just print it out, bring it to the dealer, and there you go.</p>
<p>Personnaly, I think this is an awesome deal. Ok, yeah it does not cover every automobile out there, but it may save you time and money when shopping for a car or truck!</p>]]></description>
