MetroList and Rental Beast Partner to Empower Subscribers With Advanced Rental Search and Tenant Screening Tools

SACRAMENTO, Calif., November 20, 2024 (Newswire.com) - MetroList®, Northern California’s largest multiple listing service, is excited to announce a new partnership with Rental Beast. This collaboration provides 22,000 MetroList subscribers access to Rental Beast’s powerful search functions and its innovative application and tenant screening tool, Apply Now, helping real estate professionals streamline their leasing processes. 

This partnership is critical given the ongoing rental market growth, which has resulted in renters making up 44% of housing in the Golden State, more than any state other than New York. With 30% of California renters spending more than half of their income on rent, real estate professionals must have the tools and resources necessary to help tenants find housing that meet their needs and make connections for when renters are ready to become buyers. 

Advantages for MetroList subscribers:

• Access thousands of additional rental listings - a 50x increase in available listings for subscribers through Rental Beast!
• Search rental listings with detailed filters to find the right fit for their clients. 
• Manage rental applications efficiently, enabling agents, property managers, and landlords to provide a seamless experience for all parties involved.
• Screen tenants comprehensively, using tools that simplify the decision-making process and reduce the risk of renting to unqualified tenants.

MetroList CEO Dave Howe underscores the importance of this collaboration, "With housing inventory at historic lows, Rental Beast provides our subscribers with an innovative way to connect with potential future buyers, offering real estate professionals a pathway to engage renters transitioning into homeownership while enhancing services for their clients."

CEO & Founder of Rental Beast Ishay Grinberg reinforced the partnership’s impact, “The partnership will strengthen MetroList’s rental capabilities and give real estate professionals more power to meet the diverse needs of their clients in a changing market.”

Through this partnership, MetroList solidifies its position as Northern California’s source of truth for rental listings and the largest rental marketplace in the region. 

Leveraging Rental Beast's extensive database, MetroList provides its subscribers with a uniquely comprehensive view of the local rental market.
