RentHop in the News

It’s been a busy Summer and we’re thrilled to be mentioned so frequently in the news these days! Most recently, our company was featured in the Reuters Entrepreneur’s Edge section, which included a 5-day journal exclusive of our day-to-day activities, a video pitch to potential investors, and some feedback from industry experts! Prior to that, Wired online wrote a long piece on the history of Craigslist and how other websites have generally found ways to compete or cooperate with the online classified behemoth. In the New York City apartment space, RentHop has become an important player for landlords, renters, and brokers everywhere. There is no question that Craigslist still contains a larger selection of listings, but the frequency of spam and bait-and-switch postings continues to persist. Recent articles on various technology websites such as TechCrunch discuss how RentHop enables rich search features to help our users quickly filter listings and find high quality apartments, both with and without broker fees. In particular, Mashables was a big fan of our excellent map-based search, featuring a location-based, amenity filtering search over our listings inventory.
