SEATTLE, Oct. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ ??Today, leading real estate marketplace Zillow, Inc. (NASDAQ:Z) introduces Zillow? Rentals, a free marketplace and suite of tools for rental professionals. Zillow Rentals provides property managers, rental agents and landlords with best-in-class productivity tools and resources to help them manage and market their listings, for free.

This launch follows Zillow?s acquisition of San Francisco-based RentJuice? in June 2012. Now, all of RentJuice?s technology solutions and services for rental professionals, including its mobile apps, are available under the Zillow Rentals brand.

Included in the Zillow Rentals free suite of tools and resources:

• Broad listings distribution. Rental listings are published to the Zillow Rental Network, the largest rental network on the Web[i], comprised of the millions of rental shoppers on Zillow.com and Yahoo!? Homes. More than 6 million renters visit Zillow on the Web and mobile devices each month[ii]. Listings also can be made accessible and searchable through free widgets for rental professionals? Facebook? pages and websites.
• Customer relationship management platform for managing listings, generating leads and building tenant relationships. The platform is available on the Web and through the Zillow Rental Pro apps on iOS and Android?.
• Online rental applications and transaction management tools that make it possible to complete a rental application from a browser or mobile device during a property tour.

• Extended listing syndication across 30 consumer websites.
• An email marketing platform to streamline tenant retention.
• Leasing tools, including online consumer credit screening.

?Zillow is the most visited real estate website on desktops and on mobile, and also one of the most visited rental sites. We have been aggressively expanding into software tools for real estate professionals in order to become more critical to their workflow and productivity,? said Spencer Rascoff, Zillow CEO. ?The RentJuice acquisition four months ago laid the foundation for this expansion in rentals, and today?s announcement brings us one step closer toward our vision of rewiring the rental industry.?
