Boston, MA (October 16, 2025) — Rental Beast, the leading rental listing platform and software provider, is excited to announce a new partnership with Northwest Ohio REALTORS® (NORIS), serving real estate professionals across Toledo and surrounding counties. This collaboration will give NORIS members access to Rental Beast Pro, an advanced toolkit designed to help agents build recurring rental income and grow their client base.
As rental demand surges across Northwest Ohio, this partnership equips NORIS members with critical tools to support clients at every stage of the housing journey, whether renting, investing, or preparing to transition into homeownership.
Why Rentals Matter in Northwest Ohio
The regional rental market underscores the importance of this partnership:
These trends confirm that rental properties are a pivotal opportunity for real estate professionals and a market where timely, accurate listings and seamless applications can make all the difference.
Key benefits for NORIS members include:
“This partnership comes at the perfect time,” said Ishay Grinberg, Founder and CEO of Rental Beast. “With rents rising nearly 43% in just four years and low vacancy rates, NORIS members need powerful tools to help clients compete. We’re proud to work with NORIS to deliver these resources and help REALTORS® grow their businesses in a rapidly changing housing market.”
“Rentals are a critical part of the housing landscape in Northwest Ohio,” said Megan Foos, CEO of NORIS. “Through this partnership with Rental Beast, our members gain the data and tools they need to better serve renters, landlords, and future buyers. It’s another way NORIS is keeping our REALTORS® at the forefront of the profession.”
This partnership reflects a growing trend among MLSs nationwide: extending access to Rental Beast Pro as a member benefit. By providing REALTORS® with advanced rental tools, MLSs are helping their members capture new business opportunities, build recurring rental income, and nurture long-term client relationships. With more MLSs adopting PRO, members are better positioned to meet rising rental demand while strengthening their pipelines of future homebuyers.
