Start
- Echelon dipped its toes into Rently’s self-tour service by installing it to a brand new 96-unit townhome development in Colorado.

- Rently’s self-tour provided a chance for Echelon to streamline the approach to management and maximize their talent.
- The developments could be observed immediately as the community’s vacancies were filled sooner than ever anticipated. The property was leased-up ahead of the absorption schedule, but the quick turnover only marked the beginning of Rently’s business-boosting efficiency.
