Rental Beast is an end-to-end SaaS platform empowering California's real estate professionals with powerful productivity tools and the nation's most comprehensive database of nearly ten million residential rental properties. Sourced directly from property owners and managers, updated in real time, and offering a fulfillment-grade rental dataset, the Rental Beast database provides California REALTORS® with an unparalleled view of all properties and owner types.
Most rental properties never make it into your local Multiple Listings Service. That's where Rental Beast comes in—we have built and maintain the largest database of owner-sourced residential rentals in North America, and we've built a robust, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to help REALTORS monetize our rental listings and streamline every step of the leasing process.
Since announcing our partnership, Rental Beast and the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS have been working together to build the first, state-wide California Rental Listing Service, a single source of truth for residential rental data. All C.A.R. members will have basic access to this database, as well as unlimited access to rental listings provided by fellow C.A.R. members.
The shortest path for a renter to become a homebuyer is by working with a capable REALTOR®.
Millennials represent the largest group of current homebuyers (40%), and are also roughly 65% of the rental population. Three out of eight Millennials believe they’ll rent for life, the majority of those remaining plan to buy a home in the next 36 months.
And while rentals today are more affluent than ever, many, if not most Millennials don’t know if they’re qualified to buy a home. Real estate professionals servicing these renters can provide the counsel and local expertise needed to help them enter the home resale market and purchase a home, and forge a long and fruitful relationship in the process.
The data proves this out—88% of renters working with real estate sales professionals say they’ll re-use or refer their REALTOR®
The cost to access California's Rental Listing Service and rental tools powered by Rental Beast is covered by your CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. Be sure to thank them!

All C.A.R. members will have basic access to rental listing data statewide, along with free access to Rental Beast Gateway, a lead-to-lease solution, designed by agents for agents, offering core rental functions (rental-centric search and listing add/edit tools), as well as lead-to-lease solutions including online rental application processing, tenant screening services, client management and client alerts, rental marketing tools, and more.

Residential rentals remain a complex and increasingly important segment of the California housing market. With continued high demand and record-low inventory of homes for sale and with interest rates now at a 14-year peak, many would-be California buyers are turning to rentals.
Regardless of whether rentals has been a focal point of your business to date, consider that almost every first time homebuyer is a renter currently or living at home. What better way to create a constant pipeline of first time homebuyers than getting early access to them while they are still renting and cultivating deep, meaningful and long lasting relationships with future buyers?
Our upcoming integration with Rental Beast will help C.A.R members to efficiently monetize leasing transactions.
“ I appreciate the leads I get from Rental Beast! I have a 75-80% response rate and have converted 5-10% of them to buyers. I'm excited to keep working with the industry experts at Rental Beast and look forward to working with more renters and future home buyers! After all, it's a numbers game. ”
“ Rentals are helping me create a sustainable long-term business. I can literally follow anyone I placed in a rental and be their long-term partner, whether that means helping them secure their next property for purchase or another rental.”
“I would recommend any new agent looking to start or grow their business or any seasoned agent needing access to off the market listings and owners to partner with Rental Beast! I converted a renter lead into a buyer purchasing a $870k condo and I am closing on a $8k rental as well. They have provided some of the best leads I have received from a company in over 20 years in the business.”
