Companies working together to offer expanded rental services to Long & Foster clients

Long & Foster Real Estate, the No. 1 privately owned residential real estate company in the United States, recently partnered with Rental Beast, an online real estate technology company providing a comprehensive leasing platform and listing service.

Founded in 2009 by CEO Ishay Grinberg, Rental Beast is an easy-to-use platform with access to more than 4 million rental listings across the United States. It connects property owners and property managers with highly qualified tenants through a network of hyper-local real estate experts. Rental Beast provides a unique and holistic experience from first “click” to signed lease, offering its broker partners with the largest rental inventory and most cutting-edge industry tools available.

Going forward, Long & Foster has access to Rental Beast’s robust platform, extensive rental listings that are not on MLS and the most up-to-date database available. In turn, Rental Beast visitors will be able to connect directly with Long & Foster’s leading, local real estate experts.

Founded in 1968, Long & Foster has grown from a single, 600-square-foot office in Fairfax, Virginia, to the No. 1 privately owned real estate company in the United States. Long & Foster currently has offices and associates in Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Delaware and North Carolina.

“Working with the largest privately owned real estate company in the United States further validates the technology, quantity and quality of the Rental Beast database,” said Ishay Grinberg, President and CEO of Rental Beast. “Rental Beast looks forward to helping Long & Foster agents and the renters they serve to find the best rental options available and help those renters considering their first purchase navigate the market.”

With Rental Beast’s technology, Long & Foster’s experts can even better advise property owners and property managers on market opportunities. They can also offer prospective tenants informed area recommendations, property tours and lease-signing assistance through Rental Beast.

“We are excited to partner with Rental Beast and provide our agents with these effective tools to navigate the rental market,” said Joe Amatangelo, president of Long & Foster’s Rental division. “With our exceptional agents and their industry expertise, as well as the comprehensive Rental Beast platform, Long & Foster will remain the go-to destination for any renters looking to find the best possible service and apartments or home that fits their needs in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.”

Rental Beast, which launched in Boston, has expanded into 11 markets across the country and has similar partnerships with additional real estate companies in other cities.
