How the Normal Rental Process Works
Hey there! Let's chat about the usual grind of finding a rental. It’s not exactly the most fun thing in the world, right? Here’s how it generally goes down:
Finding Properties: First, you spend hours (sometimes days) scrolling through listings, hoping to find that perfect place that ticks all your boxes.
Contacting Landlords and Viewing Properties: Next, you reach out to landlords or property managers to schedule viewings. This means juggling your schedule and possibly visiting multiple places, which can get pretty exhausting.
Applying for Rentals: Once you find a place you love, it’s time to apply. This often means filling out a bunch of forms, sharing your personal info, and maybe even paying an application fee.
Landlord Receives Multiple Applications: The landlord ends up with a pile of applications and has to sort through them to find potential tenants. It's a tedious task for them, too.
Screening Potential Tenants: To pick the best tenant, landlords go through a screening process. This whole screening business costs money and takes effort. Sometimes, the landlord might even ask you to cover the screening fee, adding to your expenses.
They’ll ask for proof of income and employment.
Check your past rental history.
Pull a credit report.
Run a background check.
Selection and Approval: If you pass the screening, congrats—you get the place! But if not, it’s back to square one, starting the whole process over with a new property and landlord. Yikes!
This traditional way can be a real headache, full of delays, costs, and lots of back-and-forth.
How the REVO Resume Lets You Bypass the Process
Now, let’s talk about something way cooler—the REVO Resume. This nifty tool from REVO is here to make your life a whole lot easier. Here’s how it shakes things up:
Centralized Screening Information: Instead of scrambling to gather and submit your info over and over, the REVO Resume lets you compile everything upfront. You’ve got your proof of income, employment verification, past rental history, how you handle your debts and obligations, and background check all in one place.
Comprehensive Profile: Think of it like a LinkedIn profile or a job resume but for renting. Your REVO Resume showcases all the key details that a landlord needs to see.
Easy Submission to Landlords: Found a place you like? Awesome. Just send your REVO Resume to the landlord. They get a full, clear view of you as a renter right away.
Streamlined Decision-Making for Landlords: With all your info neatly presented, landlords can quickly see if you’re a good fit. No more sorting through endless applications or running separate screenings. It’s a win-win for everyone.
Eliminates Redundancies: By having your REVO Resume ready to go, you skip the tedious cycle of new applications and multiple screenings. It speeds up the process and cuts down on stress.
The REVO Resume turns a complicated, multi-step process into a simple, one-step solution. It’s all about making things smoother and faster for both renters and landlords.
How to Put Together the REVO Resume
Creating your REVO Resume is super easy and mostly automated. Here’s how you get it done:
Automated Data Collection: REVO partners with some top-notch tech companies to gather all the info you need for your resume. For instance, we use PLAID to connect with your bank accounts and get financial details, and we link up with your employer’s HR system to verify your job status.
Minimal Input Required: While most of this is handled automatically, you might need to give a bit of guidance now and then. But don’t worry, it’s really minimal effort on your part.
Getting Rent Ready: Once we’ve got all your details, REVO processes everything and puts it into your REVO Resume. We call this getting “Rent Ready.” Your resume is then good to go and valid for 30 days.
Validity Period: Your REVO Resume stays fresh and up-to-date for a month, making sure all the info is current when you’re hunting for a rental.
The REVO Resume not only simplifies the application process but also makes you look great to potential landlords by presenting a complete and verified profile.
