In Case You Missed it…
While there’s lots more in store for our Rental Tools in 2025, we also want to showcase some of last year’s wins! In 2024, we optimized the landlord experience by leaps and bounds.
We started the year strong by introducing new features like expanded payment options, a redesigned homepage, and personalized rent comparison reports. Mid-year, we elevated the listing process, improved lease drafting capabilities, and enhanced keyboard accessibility to make managing rentals even easier. To close out the year, we added innovative additions to our Rental Tools suite, including a Property ROI calculator, an AI-powered listing generator, and much more.
