Feedback about Renters Warehouse

[Marcelo Bellinaso]

Hi Seattle community- any comments/feedback about Renters Warehouse? I'm considering testing their marketing & property management services in one of my properties. Looking specifically for comments about their fee structure (hidden fees that are not disclosed on the website) and quality/effectiveness of their property managers over the course of a lease. Thanks in advance!

@Robert Gilstrap This is a fascinating discussion and I really appreciate your insights. In my view, the assumption that % of rent alone can ensure a property manager will do their job well is flawed. I'm far from an expert in real estate but my observation is that the real estate industry is being disrupted and new business models are emerging. Scale can change any game (Amazon is an example) and some providers will to bring to market things that were unthinkable a few years ago just to reach enough scale and market share to disrupt their competitors. The question for me is 'can they fulfill their promises and build trust in order to get the chance to and continue playing the game?' That's what I'm trying to learn about Renters Warehouse.
