Canopy MLS, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, has established a software collaboration that will incentivize members to increase their activity in the rental market, as reported by Inman on January 31.
Rental Beast, a popular rental listing syndication platform, will grant Canopy members access to its browser-based Apply Now application and tenant screening process. Additionally, the MLS will direct applicants to OneHome by CoreLogic, another Canopy partner utilized for client collaboration.
This combination of tools creates a streamlined workflow for agents seeking relationships with renters as potential homebuyers, as well as a source of revenue that is smaller and less time-consuming.
The MLS hopes that Rental Beast’s integration into the Canopy ecosystem will bring numerous efficiencies, particularly a more user-friendly and modern application experience. This begins with access through an agent’s OneHome interface to reduce the number of front-end systems an applicant must navigate.
“Canopy MLS subscribers receive Quick Apply Links specific to listings, making it easy to share applications via email, text, or social media,” the announcement stated. “This simplifies the leasing process and attracts more qualified leads.”
Naturally, Rental Beast’s extensive online reach will enhance exposure for both the property and the agent promoting it.
Canopy leadership expressed in a statement that this new partnership demonstrates their dedication to implementing modern, consumer-centric methods for agents to excel.
“Canopy MLS is committed to providing technology solutions that empower our subscribers to thrive in all areas of real estate, including rentals,” said Anne Marie DeCatsye, Esq., CEO of Canopy Realtor Association/Canopy MLS. “By integrating Rental Beast’s Apply Now with CoreLogic’s OneHome, we’re equipping agents with the tools to streamline transactions, serve clients more effectively, and maximize rental opportunities.”
In recent years, Rental Beast has made significant strides in the sales market, such as providing access to its software for members of the California Association of Realtors, among others. Its most recent partnership was with Realtor.com, as reported by Inman in November.
Rental Beast is a comprehensive rental property solution, offering a modern, efficient system for anyone involved in leasing residential spaces. It handles tenant screening, streamlining operations, apartment searches and matching, unit marketing, agent training, and various other essential tasks. The company also has a version of its software tailored for MLS use.
This marks Canopy’s second technology announcement in about a week. On January 28, they introduced an AI support tool named Ardi, which is designed to provide subscribers with quick and easy access to essential information at any time and from anywhere.
The AI assistant will continuously learn, becoming more proficient in providing answers and anticipating additional needs with each support request.
“This integration represents a significant milestone in our mission to simplify rentals for MLSs and their members,” said Ishay Grinberg, CEO and founder of Rental Beast. “By collaborating with CoreLogic and launching with Canopy MLS, we’re empowering real estate professionals with seamless access to essential rental tools, enhancing efficiency, expanding opportunities, and strengthening the value MLSs offer their subscribers.”
