Whether you’re a first-time landlord or a seasoned agent our promise is simple: provide the absolute best rental platform by creating a magical experience for both property managers and renters.
After launching our consumer application which provides renters with a fast and simple apartment search experience, we decided to focus on developing innovative tools for landlords and agents. Five years ago we introduced ZumperPro, a tool to help landlords, agents, and building representatives market their properties. A majority of our customers turned out to be real estate professionals who were looking for qualified renters to rent their property, so two years later, we launched Tenant Screening tools, the easiest way to screen tenants by requesting a credit report and rental application online. Over the past few years, we started to see our full client-side application begin to slow down signaling it was time to re-build.
After talking to our customers, we realized there was another opportunity for us: completely reimagine our product from the ground up to help not only empower existing users, but provide a simple, intuitive, and streamlined experience for first-time landlords.
Manage Your Rentals on the Go
For landlords working a day job or agents meeting with clients and running tours, we want to ensure that managing properties from your mobile device is always a first-class experience. In channeling the property manager or landlord who is constantly on the go, we decided to optimize all interactions for one-handed use and make sure your experience is fast on all types of network connections. Even if you manage hundreds of properties and speak with countless renters, we made sure our tools allow you quick access to all of your data to help you successfully manage and scale your business accordingly. Regardless of your role as a property manager or landlord, we’re confident our tool will help you be more successful.
Streamline the Leasing Process
Through our research, we found the majority of users came to Zumper for a hassle-free leasing tool where they could advertise properties and generate leads. For this reason, we optimized all of our key flows to ensure that you get from signing in to posting, screening, or collecting rent as quickly and painlessly as possible. To help you market your property successfully, we’ve focused on increasing our support by providing you with helpful tips and suggestions every step of the way. Also, to make sure you get the best price for your property, we now calculate price estimates based on what similar listings in your neighborhood are renting for.
Once you’ve published a listing, you’ll find next steps in your Properties tab to help make your property stand out to renters such as promoting your property for higher visibility in our search results or providing open house slots for renters to schedule viewings. We know your goal is to find a qualified and hassle-free tenant as quickly as possible, so we continuously monitor the performance of properties across our site to provide you with the best recommendations and support possible.
A Better Experience for Landlords and Renters
We spent a lot of time reimagining our interface to help landlords manage the process of finding a tenant, but we also wanted the same streamlined experience for our renters. When a renter sends an inquiry with their contact information, we notify you immediately and provide you with options for next steps to get the renter through the leasing process quickly and painlessly. Whether it’s reaching out to the renter to schedule a tour, requesting a credit report and rental application, or inviting them to pay rent, our new management tool allows you to easily guide the renter from inquiry to paying rent. With a streamlined process for both you and the renter, we’re able to help you close leases faster.
Looking Ahead at What’s to Come
We’ve been really excited about this release for a long time, but what’s most exciting is what we see ahead. We are committed to building the fastest and simplest way for you to find a great tenant and view this as a foundational platform for the many products and solutions we plan to offer all of our clients and partners in the future. We look forward to continuing to work with you and learn how we can improve the stressful experience of finding a renter while streamlining and simplifying the experience as much as possible. We’re excited and hope you are too đŸ™‚
