Southwest Multiple Listing Service (SWMLS), a wholly owned subsidiary corporation of the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors (GAAR) has partnered with Rental Beast, a rental solutions provider with a database of more than 10 million owner-sourced rental listings. Through this partnership, Rental Beast’s signature core rental functions will be made available to 4,300 Southwest MLS brokers operating in the Greater Albuquerque, New Mexico area.
The Southwest MLS/Rental Beast integration will offer SWMLS brokers direct access to a robust, rental-focused add/edit and native search toolset to enhance exposure for rental properties, including additional distribution channels for rental listings and rental-centric tools to generate and qualify rental leads. The same integration will also afford ready access to software streamlining every step of rental transactions, including rental application processing and tenant screening services, rental client nurturing tools and rental-centric education and an integrated rental CMA tool.
Rental Beast will also augment SWMLS’s residential inventory with its own database of owner-source rental listings, and power a consumer-facing rental marketplace.
“In today’s market, consumer demand for rentals is greater than ever,” said Jeanette Raver, President of Southwest MLS. “To help our brokers meet this demand, Southwest MLS is partnering with Rental Beast to become the center of excellence for Albuquerque’s rental listing information data, as we are today with homes for sale.”
SWMLS brokers will also have the option to upgrade to a discounted Rental Beast Pro subscription, offering elevated access to owner-sourced listings and rental leads, syndication to premium partners and essential tools to aid renters in the transition to buying a home.
