Redfin Expands Free Rental Tools Nationwide

Redfin’s rental tools are now available nationwide! Starting today, homeowners, investors, property managers and agents anywhere in the U.S. can list rental properties for free on Redfin, connect with interested renters searching on Redfin’s family of sites, and manage the application and renter screening process all in one place.

“Whether you’re renting your home out for the first time or you’re a seasoned investor or property manager, Redfin can help connect you with millions of people searching for their next place to call home across our network of sites,” said George Perantatos, senior director of product at Redfin. “Our rental listing tool is free and easy to use, and we now make it simple to collect applications and screen potential renters. As we make this feature available across the country, we’re giving renters more great options for their next house, townhouse or apartment.” 

Reach more renters through Redfin’s family of listing sites

In addition to being listed on Redfin.com, your rental property will automatically be advertised to renters searching on Rent.com and Apartment Guide, helping you reach more renters.

To list a rental for free, go to www.redfin.com/rentals/list-my-home-for-rent and enter your address. From there, you’ll be asked to share some basic information about the home, upload photos, and write a property description. After that, you’ll be ready to publish the listing to our network! Managing your listing is simple with our rental dashboard, where you can monitor views, track renter inquiries, and remove or extend your listings.

Collect applications and screen potential renters in one place

Now you can also use Redfin’s tools to invite potential renters to apply and screen applicants with third-party verified credit, eviction and criminal reports. Through a partnership with TurboTenant, you get free access to an application and tenant screening platform trusted by over half a million property managers across the country. We’ve integrated this process directly into your rental dashboard, helping you fill vacancies faster and more seamlessly. 

To sign up for renter applications and screening, simply check the box when creating your rental listing and select which background questions you’d like to ask. Once the listing goes live, any interested renter can fill out a detailed and easy-to-use application. You can also generate a link to share with interested renters and invite them to apply. 

Redfin continues to grow its rental marketplace 

Since launching rental search in 2022, Redfin has become a popular destination for renters. We advertise hundreds of thousands of rental options in cities across the United States in partnership with our rental company, Rent.com. Through Rent.com’s marketplace, multifamily property owners and managers can connect with renters on Redfin, Apartment Guide and Rent.com. Introducing tools for individual rental property owners, real estate investors and agents is a natural next step as we build our rental marketplace.
