Bright MLS is one of the most popular NVAR member benefits but there are many tools within Bright that you might be underutilizing! Have you heard of RentSpree? RentSpree helps you gather completed rental applications and tenant screening reports online within minutes.

To use RentSpree you invite interested lease applicants to apply by sharing a LeaseLink™ via email or text! Applicants then complete all the required information and authorize their screening reports to be shared with you. You will then receive an email notification for each applicant. You can review or print these reports.

For you as an agent, you get the benefit of having access to online rental applications, credit reports and score, criminal background checks, eviction reports, and identity verification.

Applicants benefit because it doesn’t damage their credit scores, is user and mobile friendly, secures their information, and has access to dedicated customer support.
