MARIS Joins RentSpree’s MLS Partnership Program to Simplify Rentals Throughout Missouri and Illinois

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 21, 2023) — RentSpree, the leading provider of rental software in the U.S., today announced that Mid-America Regional Information Systems (MARIS) is joining its multiple listing services partnership program, adding to RentSpree’s more than 300 partner organizations. 

The new partnership will enable MARIS to help its 15,000 subscribers to better meet the rental needs across the important Missouri and Illinois housing markets. The region is a reflection of nationwide trends, dominated by affordability challenges as mortgage rates are likely to continue to only ease modestly this year. While many people in America aspire to become homeowners, many will do so later in life due to high home prices and other financial considerations. This means renting will continue to be an important housing option in these states and across the U.S.

RentSpree's full integration on the MARIS platform will facilitate an ApplyLink™ for rental listings, an instant selection, which will cut down transaction times, increase returns and generate more leads. The new integration makes it easy for MARIS’ subscribers to handle the entire rental process easily and efficiently. 

“We are currently experiencing unprecedented changes in our industry,” said Cameron Paine, MARIS President and CEO. “I am excited to be leading the charge in bringing on new and innovative rental technology to MARIS. We are laser focused on meeting the evolving needs of our brokers and agents serving the rental markets in Missouri and Illinois. They are empowered by data and information, as well as the smartest most efficient tools on the market. RentSpree fills that need perfectly.”

Commented RentSpree Co-Founder & CEO Michael Lucarelli, “We welcome MARIS to our MLS partnership program. It comes on the heels of our latest partnership launch with NorthstarMLS. At RentSpree, we are proud to work with companies that are continuing to support and provide the necessary tools for agents to succeed in a rental-dominated market.”

He added, “We think organizations that lead the rental conversation are true thought leaders. They help create job security for their agents and support the future of MLSs as the one source of truth for those they serve.”
