RentFaster.ca - Helping Landlords Find Renters for 15 Years

It was a big month for Rentfaster.ca as we celebrated 15 years of helping renters find apartments, houses, townhouses and condos, listed by property owners and landlords. For the last 15 years we have helped thousands of property managers advertise their vacancies in a fast, simple way.

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mark Hawkins, president and owner, recalls when Rentfaster.ca launched in 2003, the internet was pretty new; most people didn't have cell phones, let alone smartphones. If someone wanted to find a tenant, the owner would post their properties for rent in the newspaper with a 250-word description and a single picture, if they had it. Renters would then go through the newspaper circling the properties of interest and reach out. This method typically led to a tenant finding a rental. However, finding the perfect place for individuals and their lifestyles rarely happened. As the popularity of the internet grew, the need and opportunity for a better way grew and Rentfaster.ca became the place for landlords to list and rent their properties.

How Has Renting Properties Changed?

We will continue to strive to provide the most technologically advanced, yet user-friendly site, by constantly updating RentFaster.ca with new features geared towards both renters and landlords.

Post this

Rentfaster.ca has been constantly changing since the beginning to make the renting process user-friendly and think about the needs of renters and owners. Since the company launched in 2003, Rentfaster.ca has been leading the internet rental listings service industry with many firsts:

  • An interactive map feature
  • Real-time market stats
  • Embedded videos &
  • Virtual tours

The site's look and features have changed drastically in the last 15 years and so have the locations. When looking back, it was a daunting challenge to take Rentfaster.ca from solely providing rentals in Calgary to adding rentals in Edmonton, then across Alberta and now nation-wide. Every city is unique and building a system that effectively includes each is a tough task. When adding in the real estate market ups and downs, the rapid changes in technology and the ever-increasing market competitors, there isn't a day that new challenges and new opportunities haven't been faced.

Renting Properties Nationally in Canada

One of the biggest moments since launch was the decision to expand nationally. Canada is a big country – intimidating even. This expansion was a unique and exciting challenge that has pushed the Rentfaster.ca team to grow and move outside comfort zones. Rentfaster.ca was very fortunate to have the support from existing clients when taking the leap and expanding to Toronto and Vancouver as well as many smaller but equally important markets.

What Sets Rentfaster.ca Apart

Rentfaster.ca's mission is to listen to what renters and owners want. Rentfaster.ca is the only internet listings service offering a technical support line for users to share what features they want and need. From user feedback, the company learns what updates are necessary for the site and the renting process. For example, both renters and owners dislike the back and forth of application. Rentfaster.ca built a one-time application the renter fills out and can easily provide to multiple owners. Owners have easy access to consistent, complete information from potential tenants and can easily perform a credit check.

Another exciting feature users can expect to see in the upcoming months is more comprehensive market stats and a new pricing tool. This tool will allow landlords to view all historic data related to rental costs and days on market. With this information, landlords will be able to make informed decisions on their listing.

Thank You For Choosing Rentfaster.ca!

The process of getting Rentfaster.ca to where it is now has been a journey. Rentfaster.ca is thankful to clients who have been with us since the beginning. The words of encouragement received daily are uplifting and provide fuel to get through the tougher days. The ideas received give inspiration and drive commitment to being better. Rentfaster.ca is here 15 fantastic years later because of the support of everyone using the site.
From all of us at Rentfaster.ca: thank you.
