Testimonials

I was transferring $2,000 into a landlord's account when my friend told me I was being scammed.

-Janie, Student, UMASS

I used SmartRenter when my goddaughter was moving to San Francisco- the reports gives you all the information of a property to spot a scam or bad landlord. It was worth her safety to use SmartRenter for every potential place we say. Happy and safe ending!

-Jan S, Bay Area, C

I'm grateful for SmartRenter. Not sure what kind of situation we may have ended up in without it. The reports outline the owner, and if there are any liens or possibly foreclosure on the property. We were able to avoid these and have been in our place for over a year now. Can't recommend it enough.
