California Association of Realtors Launches Statewide Rental Listing Service

The California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) has launched the California Rental Listing Service, the first statewide database of rental properties servicing the state of California.

Powered by Rental Beast, the rental data and rental software solutions provider exclusively recommended by the National Association of Realtors, the California Rental Listing Service was developed by Rental Beast and C.A.R.’s Real Estate Business Services LLC (REBS) — the source of essential real estate business services for C.A.R.’s more than 217,000 members.

Available to C.A.R. members via car.org and to California renters soon at rlsca.com, the service affords users with a view of available rental listings throughout the state, with search results returning both rental listings represented by C.A.R. members alongside properties sourced from Rental Beast’s database of owner-sourced rental listings. California-based MLSs have the option to integrate with the service, providing their subscribers with direct access through their existing systems, becoming centers of excellence for rentals as they are today for buying and selling.

The Rental Listing Service launches with nearly 500,000 rentals throughout San Diego, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento, and the Bay Area, and will expand to include fulfillment-grade rental data listings spanning the entire state.

C.A.R. members also enjoy no-cost access to Rental Beast’s suite of lead-to-lease-to-buy software platform, with tools to manage core rental functions, create comparable market analysis, process rental applications, and screen tenants. Additionally, MLS and realtor associations throughout the state can incorporate the California Rental Listing Service data and related Rental Beast software into their MLS systems, complementing their own rental data and services at reduced costs and within faster timelines.
