Why We Built Rentlogic
New Yorkers ask how much of their income should go to rent
From article on InfoCommerce:
A new start-up called RentLogic has entered the New York City real estate market with a smart, simple idea wrapped around a proven business model. It provided a data product that rated rental properties on how well they were maintained. Unlike opinion-driven ratings sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor, RentLogic mines complaint and violation data from official government records, assessed them, and assigned every building a letter grade from ‘A’ to ‘F.’
It’s a clever idea and arguably much-needed. At the very least, it began to address asymmetric information exchange that has long characterized the real estate business. Put simply, your landlord wants to know everything about you prior to renting to you, but you know little or nothing about the landlord or the property itself.
RentLogic also was smart about its marketing. It hooked up with one of the largest rental brokerage firms in New York City, a firm called Citi Habitats, to match its database to its apartment listings. Pop up a listing in Citi Habitats, and you would see not only the standard apartment description and other details, but you’d also see a letter grade for the property and a summary description of violations and complaints. This was great exposure for RentLogic, and a differentiating website feature for Citi Habitats. And just to make sure that not too many landlord noses were bent out of joint, the two companies agreed that RentLogic data would only be shown if the property had earned an ‘A’ or ‘B’ rating.
