RentJuice is a subscription software service—sold via phone and live online webinars—that allowed real estate professionals like brokers and agents to manage and market rental listings, communicate with clients, and complete transaction paperwork (e.g., tenant applications, credit screening, lease documents), all through a single, intuitive, web-based interface.[1] It was founded in 2008 by David Vivero while he was still at Harvard Business School.
The company offers a subscription-based suite of marketing and productivity tools for rental professionals, including a customer relationship management platform for managing leads and relationships; rental listings management software and syndication across the Web; consumer credit screening; and an online- and mobile-based secure way for consumers to submit rental applications. RentJuice's mobile app for iOS allows rental professionals to access their database on the go, instantly update property photos, and connect with prospective tenants.[2]
David was a student in Thomas Eisenman's Entrepreneurial Management Class when I was there for the discussion of the Second Life case. David presented RentJuice to me across the Linden Lab office on Battery Street. RentJuice was sold to Zillow in 2012.
