Those companies/sites cover pretty much full spectrum of size and focus for real estate software, so how they differ from Rentobo varies from one to the next.
In general I would say the biggest single differentiator for Rentobo is in ease of use and ease of access.
Our goal from day one has been to provide software that is powerful enough for a real estate professional but easy enough to use for a real estate novice. Anyone can signup for a Rentobo account directly from our home page and be up and running in minutes without any special training.
We are always looking to improve and welcome any feedback about how we could make things easier!
Many larger landlords use a Reference Verification form that they ask references to complete. One strategy would be to create an online version of that form. At this point we're trying to gauge landlord interest.
If you'd be interested in talking more about what type of solution would work for you, please reach out to me at the support email address on our web site.
We are currently looking for the best possible partner to provide credit checks directly through Rentobo. One of our top criteria is finding a partner who can provide a complete tenant screen (credit check, background check, and eviction screen). In keeping with our core values we are also committed to making the screens available with as little work on the part of the landlord as possible.
Please keep an eye on our blog or FB/Twitter feed for an update once we have that relationship in place.
