How We Find Tenants in Record Time

To minimize vacancy time, we use a direct-to-consumer push notification system that connects your property with active renters the moment it hits the market.

1

Renters Subscribe to Our Instant Alert Network

Active renters looking for homes in the East Bay subscribe to receive immediate notifications for new listings and open house events in their preferred areas.

2

Your Listing Triggers an Immediate Alert

As soon as your property is listed or an open house is scheduled, our system sends a targeted push notification directly to every subscribed renter's device.

3

Tenants Respond Before the Competition

Prospective tenants receive the alert instantly—even if their browser is closed—allowing them to book a viewing and submit applications before other renters even see the listing.
