Bridge Homes deployed Rently’s Self-Guided Touring solution across roughly 4,700 single family homes in their portfolio in order to eliminate the need for staff to be on-site for every single tour. By implementing this technology across their extensive portfolio, they’ve not only streamlined their operational workflows but also empowered renters with the flexibility to tour properties at their convenience. 

 

SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED

Self-guided tours
Smart Home (hub and smart locks)

RESULTS

Average lead to tour conversion: 41.5%
Monthly average of 11-12 tours per/property

 

The integration of smart locks further optimized efficiency by simplifying access for maintenance personnel, reducing coordination efforts and ensuring timely property upkeep and turnover between move-ins. This strategic adoption of Rently’s technology emphasizes Bridge Homes’ commitment to leveraging innovative solutions that prioritize both tenant satisfaction and operational efficiency.

 

“The Rently self showing system that we use predominantly has really been a game changer… When you have scattered sites like single family rentals, it makes it very difficult to schedule showings. And also the reality is that there are oftentimes, you know, just too many of them to be able to actually man. And so it provided a great solution for self entry where people can go into the home themselves, tour the home. We like to try and combine that with a phone call or with some sort of touch from our sales force. And that gives us the ability to answer questions and do other things associated with it all triggered by the Rently auto email that goes out.”

Vice President of Continuous Improvement

 

Moreover, Rently’s Manager Portal delivers valuable data insights, including touring behavior metrics such as tour times, frequency, and popular properties. Additionally, our internet listing service (ILS) syndication enhances property visibility across platforms like Zillow and Apartments.com, further boosting their touring volume.

Overall, Rently’s Self-Guided Touring technology has significantly enhanced Bridge Homes’ renter experience, streamlined workflows, and optimized resource allocation, allowing staff to focus on other critical tasks.

The benefits are clear! With Rently you can expect:

  • • Improved operational efficiency
  • • Streamlined property maintenance
