Episode 32: A New Lease on Life
/
“Millennials are choosing to rent. It’s not a default because they can’t afford to buy. About five out of eight millennials will be buying in the next 36 months. Instead of competing with thousands of agents when they’re ready to buy, build that relationship when they’re renting and get a rental commission. That’s what we’re trying to facilitate.”
Founder and President of Rental Beast Ishay Grinberg believes every agent should include rental services in their portfolio. It’s not only a wise networking opportunity with future buyers, but a chance to make extra money with much less effort than you would anticipate. After years of working as an agent with a boutique agency in New York City, Grinberg founded Rental Beast as an MLS-style resource for rental properties. By providing millions of listings, Grinberg’s goal is to make the rental property search and transaction as seamless as possible, with the ability to do everything virtual and from one platform.
In this episode, Grinberg discusses the effect of COVID-19 on rental properties, the tools REALTORS® need to get into the market, and why working in property management and leasing is worth the effort.
