RentRedi
|
RentRedi designed and create the software that challenges the history of property management software by providing innovative, enterprise-quality software to the most under-served parts of the residential real estate market–the small owner and tenants.How? For starters, by creating the first solution for owners that puts small landlords...well,first.Next, we ditched paper and the web-portal for tenants and designing something that a tenant would love to use as much as the property owner. We live in a mobile world, and being a tenant shouldn't change that; so, tenants can do everything from the palms of their hands. And we didn't stop at the tenant apps; owners can manage just as well from an office and as on the run–that's our anywhere (and anytime) promise.And importantly, we did all of this in a way that allows us to add value while keeping pricing to a simple subscription model, removing barriers to entry, and making sure owners end up with more money in their pockets at the end of the year instead of less.Mobile-First | Multi-Dimensional | Value-AddingFor Owners: Available Web App for desktop, tablets, iPhone, and Android For Renters: Available Mobile Apps for tablets, iPhone, and Android.Web App (for owners): rentrediapp.comiOS App (for renters): itunes.apple.com/us/app/rentredi/id1187683543?mt=8Android App (for renters): play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RentRedi.RentRedi2 | $12M / Series A / Apr 13, 2022 | |
