RentHop in the News

It’s been a busy summer and we’re thrilled by our frequent mentions in the news these days! Have you found RentHop in the news this season?

RentHop’s Latest Press

Most recently, our company was featured in the Reuters Entrepreneur’s Edge section, which included a five-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. These features help our users quickly filter listings and find high quality apartments, both with and without broker fees. In particular, Mashables favorsย our excellent map-based search. The map-based search features a location-based, amenity filter search over our listings inventory.
