SEATTLE - RentSpree, the industry's premier end-to-end rental management platform, today announced that First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS), the fifth-largest MLS in the country, is the first to adopt RentEdge, RentSpree's new rental growth platform purpose-built for the MLS ecosystem.

 

"Rentals have become a vital part of the real estate market nationally," said Jeremy Crawford, President and CEO of FMLS. "Many agents, brokers, and their client's own investment property, and they need top-tier tools to analyze those rental units, market them, vet potential renters, and foster an ongoing relationship with current and past rental customers."

 

He added, "RentEdge is not just a luxury but a necessity for any MLS that wants to stay competitive. This is the next-generation rental platform that our industry has been waiting for. By adopting all six modules, we're providing our members with a fully integrated rental experience that matches the sophistication of the for-sale side. It's a game-changer and is an exclusive member-benefit in Georgia for FMLS members."

 

With RentEdge, FMLS is setting a new precedent for how rentals are supported, scaled, and integrated within the MLS. This partnership proves that rentals are ready for the same level of innovation and infrastructure that for-sale transactions have benefited from for decades.

 

"This partnership is about bringing rentals to the forefront of the MLS experience," said Michael Lucarelli, CEO and Co-Founder of RentSpree. "FMLS is taking the lead in helping agents unlock the full potential of rentals through tools that are embedded, intuitive, and built for growth."

 

RentEdge is a flexible, cloud-based platform designed to increase rental engagement, drive agent productivity, and help MLSs deliver greater value to their members. While agents are well-equipped when handling for-sale listings, rental workflows have long lacked similar support. RentEdge bridges that divide by meeting agents inside their existing MLS systems and delivering rental functionality in a familiar, frictionless way.

 

What's Inside RentEdge:

 

  • Screen - Enables agents to opt into RentSpree tenant screening with one click, instantly generating shareable application links to qualify renters and close leases faster.
  • Insights – Brings real-time rental data to the MLS dashboard with visual insights, market trends, and empower agents to grow their business more effectively with rentals.
  • Connect – Activates agents by helping them find and connect with new clients to represent, both on the renter and landlord side.
  • Distribute – Maximizes listing exposure through RentSpree's syndication network, increasing high-quality renter leads while amplifying agent visibility.
  • Nurture – Keeps agents top-of-mind with automated engagement tools for past renters and landlords, turning one-time deals into long-term client relationships.
  • Academy – A co-branded learning hub that supports agents at every stage of the rental journey through webinars, tutorials, and on-demand resources.

 

The RentEdge experience begins inside the MLS interface with embedded widgets that offer high visibility and value without disrupting existing workflows.

 

"MLSs need tools that create real, everyday value for their members," said Lauren Martin, Senior Account Director at RentSpree. "FMLS's adoption of RentEdge shows what's possible when rental tools are seamlessly integrated and purpose-built for the MLS environment."
