Company Summary

Rentbot makes it easy to find an apartment by helping renters book instant personal appointments to visit apartments. We believe in high volume, supply constrained markets like NYC, it's more efficient for brokers and property managers to pre-set appointments and let home-seekers book them. After all, renters and brokers both dislike the hassle of calling back and forth or email queries needed to coordinate viewings. It's a win-win situation.
