Boston, MA (December 3, 2025) – Rental Beast, the leading rental data and software provider, today announced a partnership with Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS), the multiple listing service serving Oregon and Southwest Washington, to bring Rental Beast Pro to all RMLS subscribers at no additional cost.

With nearly 47% of Portland households renting and a rental vacancy rate of just 5.91%, the city’s rental market is among the most competitive in the nation. The demand for rentals is similar across the Oregon and Southwest Washington markets that RMLS serves. For real estate professionals, rentals represent not only a vital service for clients but also a significant revenue opportunity. This partnership underscores the commitment RMLS has to equip subscribers with the best tools to thrive in today’s market.

Through Rental Beast Pro, RMLS subscribers will gain access to:

  • The most comprehensive rental inventory with on- and off-MLS listings in one place, powered by accurate, verified rental data.
  • Rental comps and market insights to support pricing strategies and better serve clients.
  • Streamlined application and screening tools with Apply Now for the Oregon market, helping agents save time and reduce administrative burden.
  • Customizable webpages to easily showcase rental listings and connect with prospective renters.

“Rentals are no longer an afterthought but a cornerstone of today’s housing market,” said Ishay Grinberg, Founder and CEO of Rental Beast. “By working with RMLS, we’re empowering their subscribers to capture opportunities in the rental sector, deliver more value to clients, and diversify their income. With Rental Beast Pro, agents get the full suite of tools to compete and win in one of the most dynamic rental markets in the country.”

For RMLS, the partnership aligns with its mission to provide subscribers with leading-edge solutions.

“At RMLS, our goal is to ensure subscribers have the resources they need to succeed,” said Kurt von Wasmuth, President and CEO of RMLS. “Given the size and competitiveness of the Oregon and Southwest Washington rental market, access to Rental Beast Pro is a game-changer. Our subscribers can now deliver better service to renters and property owners alike, while tapping into a growing and lucrative business opportunity.”

This partnership continues a national trend of MLS organizations delivering Rental Beast Pro, the premium version of its platform, to their subscribers. With comprehensive rental data, advanced tools, and seamless integration, MLSs are equipping their subscribers to thrive in a housing market where rentals are increasingly central.
