Meet the Real Estate Tech Founder: Jason Bangerter from Rentler

In our latest real estate tech founder interview, we’re speaking with , Jason Bangerter co-founder of Rentler.

Without further ado…

What do you do?

I’m an entrepreneur and I have started and built a few different companies. Currently, I am CEO for Rentler, but have also co-founded an agency called Struck, as well as a social media management tool – NUVI. In every instance, my goal has been to help people. That is my real passion and how Struck got started, why we launched NUVI and now why we continue to build Rentler.

What problem does your product/service solve?

Rentler was started because I had several properties I began renting when the real estate
market began to slow down in late 2007. I realized there wasn’t a place to manage your
properties online, especially no where to have applications, screenings, and payments all in one place.

This is the problem we set out to solve with Rentler, and today we continue to add tools to
make DIY landlord property management easier than ever. We have a listings platform
where landlords can place their home, townhome, or condo. They can accept applications
directly from their listings page, and require potential tenants to fill out screening information during their application.

Once a landlord has selected a tenant, they can manage their lease, create online payment
series, and accept maintenance requests right from within their Rentler dashboard. It really is a one-stop property management tool.

What are you most excited about right now?

For the past 6 months, our team has been working tirelessly on a new listings platform, to
make it easier for landlords to list their property. We are very excited to see this launched
and have current and new landlords start using it.

What’s next for you?

This year is a big year for Rentler as we continue to grow. I am excited to continue to build
our team and see how we can push the Rentler brand in new ways. We are in a place where the brand is maturing, so we will be doing a lot to make sure our visual identity does the same thing. As an entrepreneur, I never have idle hands, so you never know what product or partnership we may try to launch next. I am always working towards something new.

What’s a cause you’re passionate about and why?

I believe that students today need to be prepared for the technology industry and have
worked locally here in Utah to help create opportunities for students to be better exposed to our industry. Since 2007 I have been a board member for DigiForge, a conference that
gives kids access to more information about jobs in the technology industry. I’m a board
member of the local chapter of EO Entrepreneurs Organization. EO, is a global, peer-to-
peer network of 12,000+ influential business owners with 160 chapters in 50 countries.
Founded in 1987, EO is the catalyst that enables leading entrepreneurs to learn and grow,
leading to greater success in business and beyond.
