Home for Renters

Our renters will always be presented to agents and landlords in a way that maximises their chances of getting the home they want

We present our properties with additional, relevant information that makes the process easier for renters

Let’s automate where we can. We are removing the need for most of the paperwork to help save our renters time and effort

We are fast becoming the default destination for renters, by adding value and not expecting reward for no effort

Renting is a very large and growing market

So why focus on renters?

Because it is where we can make a difference!

Growing, underserved segment, 30% of population who want:

 A simpler and more consistent experience

 To be treated equitably

 To be recognised

The suburb reviews are handy because they are comments by real people - Sue

I used the NBN status to find my property, it was my #1 need, roof was #2  – John

RentBond saved the day for me, thank you Rent - Claire

The makeup of renters in Australia is changing, the fastest growing segment are what we call our “logical renters” and is typically a younger professional person. They are renting because it makes sense for them, maybe they have taken that great job opportunity in Sydney or moved – temporally to Melbourne for study they are smart, practical and expect a level of service that the industry has struggled to deliver.

Improved Engagement = Improved Revenue

==> picture [72 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Our focus on improving the customer experience allows us to position relevant products to our customers (through either site visits or the Renter Resume process)

Diversifying Revenue Streams

  • REA and Domain are well established, successful, with a co-dependent relationship with Agents.

  • No real incentive to change

  • Industry disruption from new/existing entrants expected to accelerate in FY18/19, increasing the pressure on our Agent Partners

RNT has a deliberate strategy to diversify its sources of revenue, creates opportunities rather than risks as the industry changes

Allows the “Freemium” listing model to develop

==> picture [72 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

This is where we are!

  • The first major real-estate portal to offer free listings to all Agents

  • Largest real-estate portal in the country allowing private landlords to advertise

  • 3[rd] Highest ranked Real Estate Website (#1 for Rentals)

  • Approximately 90% of all national rental property listings are on Rent.com.au

A November 2017 review of the last 275,000 properties leased nationally shows that our Smart and Highlight Plans deliver:

  • 55% more enquiries

  • 51% more views

than standard free listings

  • = less time on market

  • = better return for landlords.
