We are thrilled that so many new visitors have found us through the recent New York Times article. In fact, for most of the weekend, we were the second most popular piece of news in the entire real estate section of the New York times! We’d like to thank all loyal RentHop.com users for continuing to support our endeavors here.
As many of you have deduced, we are planning some fairly significant changes in the coming weeks as we continue to learn more about the market and the complex Manhattan real estate ecosystem. Only six months ago, this project began as a seemingly simple task of aggregating landlord listings into a single, user-friendly website. Now we realize there are many people looking to us to invent an entirely new business model. While nothing has yet been finalized about the approach we ultimately take, we will not forget the original motivating mission: We at Rent Hop believe prospective tenants are best suited for deciding where to live, and we empower our visitors with free, objective information and assistance to make the difficult rental process easier.
