  • I'd like to express my sincerest thanks to the amazingly helpful Rental Beast staff. They have really been there along the way to support me as I tackle what for me has been a new and sometimes daunting aspect of the real estate market, RENTALS. With their support and guidance, within the first month of my Rental Beast training, I signed my first lease, was working half a dozen active leads, and had already garnered my first referral! They jumped in to do an advanced search for that impossible-to-find apartment for the client with multiple needs. Perhaps even more importantly, when I found myself overwhelmed with requests for more showings than I could handle, they reassigned a client to get her someone who could respond immediately so that she wouldn’t be lost in the system. With the backing of the Rental Beast staff, I can see rentals as a long-term, successful venture for me. Keep up the great work!

  • I find Rental Beast to be a good tool for both clients and agents. I responded quickly as recommended and I did wind up getting the rental done in a relatively short period of time. If rentals are your thing, then Rental Beast is the way to go. I think it is another Berkshire Hathaway tool that gives their agents an edge in the marketplace.

    – Ilene, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Rental Beast Certified Agent
  • I am very happy with the business relationship I am forming with Rental Beast! I live in the Lehigh Valley and the drive to Philly (for training) was a bit challenging. However, the knowledge obtained from the training was well worth it
    I look forward to using Rental Beast consistently to grow my "Rental Expertise"
    Once again, thank you to all at Rental Beast for a great tool.

  • The customer service at Rental Beast is excellent! The staff has been extremely helpful with training on how to use the rental portal, supplying leads, and training on how to work with clients, they have even come out to my office to meet with prospective tenants. Because of this support I have already executed a transaction and have many other leads in the pipeline. One of my leads from Rental Beast even became a prospective buyer!

  • I have been a licensed Realtor since 2003 and I have never come across such an extraordinary and effective rental search method as the one offered with Rental Beast. Rental Beast is a great service to the community and Realtors with its unique ability to pull all types of rental units from any source (whether through private or public offerings). Providing an uncommon form of "one-stop shopping", it's very hard to find an active rental posted anywhere on the Internet that is NOT on the Rental Beast site. For this, my clients appreciate such effectiveness and enjoy being able to modify their search when and how they see necessary.
    The staff at Rental Beast are a true pleasure to work with. They are experienced, professional and very courteous. They listen to feedback and suggestions to fine-tune this service and are available whenever the public (and Realtors) need them. If there is a question on a rental or the assigned realtor cannot immediately research or set up a showing, Rental Beast will assist and step in to help asap. They are like a Realtor's assistant! It's a great team atmosphere and comforting to know Rental Beast is there both on the public and real estate agent's side.
    It's very clear that Rental Beast cares about their clients and not just about the sale. My first closed transaction with RB involved placing a family that had lost their home due to a fire. They were living in a hotel when Rental Beast was contacted by an insurance company trying to find them short-term suitable housing as their home was being rebuilt. Utilizing Rental Beast's top of the line search methods, staying in constant communication with both the insurance company and client to understand their needs, and thoroughly researching prospective units enabled us to find the perfect rental in an expedited manner for such a deserving family. This case was nowhere near the ordinary rental procedure that agents are accustomed to and it did have its fair share of "bumps in the road". It took a lot of diligence to work through some tricky insurance details, and I am extremely grateful to have Rental Beast collaborate with me from the beginning... they were there for me every step of the way and a true teammate. While every client is rewarding, this one proved to be one the most valuable and dear. I was directly involved with aiding a family (and their pet) get their lives back to some normalcy after a tragic incident. The client is very happy, which in turn makes me ecstatic to have helped.
    As expressed above, Rental Beast makes a great teammate for clients and Realtors - hands down. I continue to refer and utilize their website as the only way to look for a rental. And I look forward to many more opportunities to collaborate with RB for other rental clients.

  • I have been using Rental Beast now for the past year and it's proven to be a powerful resource for assisting with my rental clients. Besides the abundance of non MLS rental listings that I did not know about or have access to it's saved me hours in researching options for my clients. It also allows me to take those listings and assign them or email them to my clients with detailed descriptions and photos.
    Rental Beast has also increased my client base by giving me pre-qualified and serious renters that are not only interested in looking at rental property but ready to secure and sign a lease.
    Rental Beast is also extremely helpful at saving me time and keeping me organized in the busy rental season and has boosted my income. A powerful, proven tool for any broker that works with renters.

    – Isabel, Coldwell Banker
  • I am a CB agent who does a fair amount of rentals. I have utilized Rental Beasts site frequently to find rentals for my clients that were not available on MLS. This is a fantastic resource to have as they have a large inventory of rentals in a widespread area! I recommend their site to fellow colleagues having challenges finding rentals for their clients.

  • The rental beast platform is really second to none when it comes to ease of use, narrowing down options for a prospect, and eliminating all the confusion in the rental market. This service is helping me grow my business and provide a good stream of income while at the same time, giving prospects a great tool to find the perfect apartment in a competitive market.
    I also really like the fact that the Rental Beast team is always available to help with any questions that come up related to the platform, paperwork, apartments and any other issues that may come up. This allows me to focus on helping people find apartments and grow my business

    – Peter, Coldwell Banker
  • Working with Rental Beast has been a very positive experience for me. As a newer agent (18 months) dealing with renters can be intimidating, everything moves fast, yet nothing is dependable. The laws and regulations that a rental agent has to know can also add to the stress level, particularly for the first couple of transactions. Being able to call Ashley and get a quick, accurate and calm response to any question has been a great help for me. Even if the rental does not work out I still get to meet and know a client, a landlord (or several),a building, a neighborhood, while at the same time getting a really accurate gauge for the overall market. Boston is a tough rental market especially for people who do not have a lot of resources, having all the latest market information available instantly is a big advantage. Rental Beast gives me all that information in one place, sure the software is not perfect but even when there is a problem I can call and get an answer on the phone. When I finally get the lease signed and the client is happy, I feel like I have planted a little seed on that particular street for the future

    – Michael, Coldwell Banker
  • Rental Beast is always up to date on what is current on the market. The staff has also gone out of their way in helping me find good matches for my clients. In a market that changes daily, I am glad I can count on Rental Beast!

  • This is Xiulin. I am an new agent, just started to do rental work. I use RENTAL BEAST through NRT GATEWAY. It is very easy to use, I just entered rental price, location, the all of rental information comes out so accurate. I do not need to search other websites. I am so happy to use it. Thank you for your support.

    – Xiulin
  • The Rental Beast has been a welcome source of gaining new business.

    – Paul
  • I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Rental Beast. On Saturday February 3, 2018, I closed my first real estate transaction thanks to a lead from Rental Beast. As a Nurse and now a new Realtor, I get to help people with two of the most important aspects of human life; health and shelter.
    My client was in a time crunch, and after just looking at one other home for rent, he decided that (a property) Easton was just right for him and his family. I do plan on staying in touch with (him) and help him on his journey to home ownership! Thanks so much!

    – Denise M. W.
  • (My) lead came from Rental Beast. The tenants will be buying after this lease has ended! (Throughout new Rental Beast Boot Camp,) I was shown how the portal worked and how I can further help my clients.

    – Julie H., Long & Foster
  • How did Rental Beast help you close your deal?
    Obtaining warm leads through Rental Beast takes the time out of looking for good leads. Usually buyers are ready and know what they want when the lead comes through Rental Beast. With the use of Rental Beast I am able to cut my search time and home tours to 1-2 showings.

    – Carla L., Berkshire Hathaway
  • How did Rental Beast help you close your deal?
    The evaluation process before an initial meeting is important. Asking the right questions, clarifying wants can save time and energy. During Boot Camp we discussed the Q&A process that is important to have before an initial meeting. Letting the buyer know what is expected of them and what you intend to do for them will ensure things go smoother

    – Carla L., Berkshire Hathaway
  • I really enjoyed every bit of what Rental Beast University had to offer me. This was a very valuable tool, with a wealth of information for me to use in my future Real Estate transactions.

    – Sonya Johnson, Long and Foster
  • I have hesitated to post listings to social media, but with Rental Beast it was clear how to do it and now I’m on LinkedIn and Instagram as a business. My first post on Instagram was a sale that is going to close on Wednesday. When I posted that sale, one of my friends contacted me with a referral. Due to what I was doing with Rental Beast it got me in touch with someone who is a potential buyer! I wouldn’t have taken the time to do it if it wasn’t for the Boot Camp program. New Agent Boot Camp is an excellent program!

    – Lori Nye, Fox and Roach
  • There is a lot of useful information in this boot camp. It is not only useful for rentals but for sales as well. The course offers good advice on generating leads, posting on social media, preparing letters to the Sphere of Influence, responding to leads and handling objections. The course has also helped me communicate more effectively with clients. It has a good balance between learning sessions and quizzes. I especially like the videos it provides. I would definitely recommend it to other real estate agents.

    – May Geadah, Fox and Roach
  • Overall, I think this is a great platform to get you started on what needs to be done. It is just the right amount to produce the results you want and more. It makes me consider other avenues that I can use with not only rental clients but also buyers and sellers.

    – Harumi Walters, Fox and Roach
  • I’ve closed three deals since participating in the Rental Beast Boot Camp! I started off slowly while I was learning the RentalBeast procedures but in the last two weeks I’ve closed three deals! The first lead needed to rent quickly and we were able to find a rental in the Rental Beast Database that was exactly what they were looking for. It was a lead that came from RentalBeast and inventory that also was listed in the Rental Beast Broker Portal. I also rented my MLS Listing to a client that inquired through the Rental Beast. And just today, I have a client that I showed 1 property to and they rented! It was a Rental Beast lead that knew what they wanted! Thank you Rental Beast for helping me get off to a fast start with my rental business! I can’t wait to be even busier in the months to come!

    – Santa Poddar, Century 21 Commonwealth
  • I closed my first rental transaction for my first client which came from a Rental Beast lead. He had been struggling to find a rental and I took him to a few different places and advocated for him to the owners. He said when he is looking for his next apartment he will contact me! I also completed the Boot Camp course where I learned to use the system and post listings online, which was very valuable since I’m not a millennial! I would like to give a BIG shout out to the [Rental Beast Support] chat room people who provide “real time” answers, very valuable asset.

    – Silvana Martin-Morillo, CBNE
  • Rental Beast University is a great online class and I learned immense deep information as well as had an excellent, helpful mentor. The course is very interesting, challenging and will help me to open up my future route. I thank you for your unlimited help.

    – Yohnnes Denboba, Long & Foster
  • Rental Beast University is very helpful and an excellent introduction to the software. It really prepared me to start helping clients with their rentals.

    – Eric Romig, Long & Foster
  • Rental Beast Boot camp is easy to navigate. The quizes, scenarios, and quick feedback after my assignments from the coach is great! I know it will help prepare me to kick off my career in real estate.

    – Kyle Tener, Long & Foster
  • My favorite part of Boot Camp is the interactive responses from my coach. Super helpful and really clarified the problem at hand by offering solutions and real life scenarios. Its a great way to prepare for a rental contract. It also gave me the opportunity to work with my manager and mentor in the office.

    – Sendi-Joy Amaya, Long & Foster
  • After taking Boot Camp, I have a much better understanding of how to explain to my clients how I get paid. I also learned how to do the application and lease process. I think by applying what I learned from the Boot Camp I will be even better at closing the deal and I now have qualification questions to help me weed out people I may not want to work with.

Renters

  • Our broker, Joe, provided us with the knowledge, expertise and the courtesy we were seeking when searching for our apartment in Boston. We felt comfortable not only with the selection of apartments Rental Beast supplied us, but throughout the whole process they were there at our every beck and call. Could not have asked for a better experience!

    – Anne W.
  • I've lived in big cities before and Rental Beast has been the most helpful in all of my apartment searches. They offer a simple, easy and quick solution! I'm extremely happy with my experience and wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone in need of a rental in or around Boston!

    – Lorin W.
  • Selection, selection, selection...I have worked with over 10 brokers in Boston and Rental Beast has been miles ahead of the competition in regards to professionalism, punctuality, lease concerns, and overall aptitude of the market here in Boston. I have rented through Ashleigh twice and will be using him again when I move out of this apartment!

    – Gordon E.
  • Where else can you find an extremely nice and professional office staff to help you through your apartment search in addition to your broker making your apartment search hassle free? Rental Beast is the only brokerage in Boston I would ever use...period

    – Michelle G.
  • My children, who are students at Northeastern, needed an apartment and needed it fast. Braden at Rental Beast literally walked us through every step of the process and found them an apartment and had a signed lease the same day. He stayed in touch with me(and the other parents) throughout each and every step and couldn't have been more educational and informative. He also made me feel at ease without any type of pushy sales tactics I had seen before. Rental Beast (Braden) certainly took the hassle out of this ever so difficult process!

    – Lynn W.
  • From the moment I met Braden, I could tell he was hardworking and willing to do anything to help us find our dream apartment! He listened to what I was looking for and continuously showed me listings until I found the perfect place! I would absolutely use Braden and Rental Beast again in the future. It was a pleasure to work with them!

    – Shelley W.
  • Moving to Boston from rural Pennsylvania was extremely stressful because of my lack of 'Boston Knowledge' but Jesse from Rental Beast went above and beyond in helping my family search for housing. Since Rental Beast cover all areas of Boston, we were able to get a good sense of what each neighborhood offered, all the while Jesse went in depth as to what school systems were best for our kids and couldn't have been more honest in his approach. He took a stressful, overwhelming process and made it simple and hassle free!

    – Ellen G.
  • As an international student from Japan, I was not able to come to the states before starting school. Michelle at Rental Beast went to each apartment within my parameters, took pictures for me and provided detailed descriptions of each property. After going through each apartment with her on the phone, I was able to make a decision without ever seeing the actual apartment in person and eight months later, I couldn't be happier with the decision I made. Much to my delight; the neighborhood, management company, and actual apartment ended up being exactly as imagined.

  • I was pleased with the ease of use of setting up the listing as well as the quick follow up with a phone call confirming all of my information.

    – Adam G.
  • Thank you for your consistent help with rental needs! Grateful for Rental Beast!! I recommend this service to all Landlords and Property Managers!
