Rental Beast Moves to Help Multiple Listing Services Open up a $12 Billion Annual ‘Millennial-Driven’ Opportunity for Agents, Brokers

A new service developed for Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) will make up to 8 million rental listings available to real estate agents and brokers nationwide for the first time. Rental Beast, the leading all-in-one online rental listing service, is launching a new program that will enable MLS agents and brokers to connect with more millennials and tap into $12 billion in annual rental commissions.

Rental Beast seamlessly integrates with MLS platforms, allowing agents direct access to more than 8 million non-MLS listings, the largest number of verified online rental listings available, directly sourced from property owners and managers, and updated in real-time. The new MLS program from Rental Beast also provides Apply Now, an FCRA-compliant online application engine, accessible by clicking a button next to any rental listing within an MLS.  By using the Apply Now feature, listing agents and property owners receive fast and secure access to applicant credit checks, eviction history and background information (where applicable) to guide decisions.

“With the Rental Beast platform, MLSs can deliver measurable value to its members and subscribing agents and brokers by providing a new source of income and a new way to tap into millennial-driven business without disrupting its single-family resale policies,” said Ishay Grinberg, founder and CEO of Rental Beast. “More importantly, Rental Beast is helping MLSs become the center of excellence for all real estate data, not just the home-to-home sales market,” he added.

Chicagoland MRED (Midwest Real Estate Data), one of the largest MLSs in the nation serving more than 45,000 real estate professionals in 7,300 offices, recently implemented with Rental Beast.

“MRED has deeply integrated Rental Beast with our rental listings in connectMLS,” said Chris Haran, chief technology officer at MRED. “This makes it easy for agents to provide a secure, easy and cost-effective online rental application. Landlords then also get a deeply informative background check and credit report to help them evaluate the prospective tenant, all because of their relationship with the agent. Our agents love to have these new capabilities,” he said. MRED agents also enjoy access to Rental Beast University, the industry-leading online learning center for rental information and education.

Grinberg notes that while 87 million millennials comprise the largest segment of renters (over 60 percent), they also make up the largest segment of today’s homebuyers (38 percent). And, over 85 percent of U.S. homebuyers ages 22-29 bought their first home in 2019. “Beyond connecting with future homebuyers earlier in the process, Rental Beast connects agents to investors who are constantly buying and selling properties suitable for the rental market.”
