A few posts back I wrote how Oodle works, today I thought I would spend a little time on RentMarketer.
RentMarketer.com works basically the opposite of Oodle. Where Oodle scrapes (or gets feeds) from many sites like RentClicks and RentalHouses, RentMarketer receives listings from property managers to distribute out to sites like RentClicks and many others.
Correction: RentMarketer does not receive a feed from RentalHouses. See a complete list of sites.
If you are lazy and do not want to post to every Dick and Jane site out there (there are tons of them them - and mine is one of them!) RentMarketer can save you some time entering your properties in to each one.
For one flat fee you can be included in to many rental sites including a ton of free ones like HotPads. The real beauty of RentMarketer and what makes it so powerful is the long tail affect. Sure being in a mega site like RentClicks will get you some leads, but you should actually get more leads from all the other free sites combined.
To learn more about RentMarketer, listen to the podcast show I did with Dan Daugherty.
Just so you know I am not providing a feed to RentMarketer (at least at this point) and I was not compensated in any way to write this post. I do think that Dan Daugherty does have a very innovative business model that we will be seeing more of in the future.
My guess is we will see a RentMarketer type site pop up in the vacation rental market soon.
