RentSpree announces partnership with Bayou Board of REALTORS(R). Updated on Mar 31, 2026 Published on Mar 31, 2026 Event Marketing Lead Top rated, trusted screening, rent payments, and more. Southern Louisiana's multiple listing service is the latest to join RentSpree's MLS Partnership Program. RentSpree, the nation's top-rated rental platform, has announced its latest partnership today, with the Bayou Board of REALTORS(R)(BBOR). This collaboration marks a huge step for RentSpree in expanding into an important U.S. housing market, and promises to provide major benefits for BBOR subscribers and their clients in Louisiana and beyond. Effective immediately, RentSpree is now live on the BBOR MLS platform, giving its approximately 500 agents direct access to integrated rental management, tenant screening, and the tools to help them process applications securely, quickly, and with more confidence. A market primed for rental growth. The Bayou Board of Realtors primarily serves the Houma-Thibodaux Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes. And while their agent count may sound modest, the region's importance isn't. The area covered by BBOR agents serves the energy (oil and gas) and seafood industries, two drivers of a powerful residential rental market. And while this coastal Louisiana MSA can thank its region's specialized local industry employment for this steady long-term rental demand, many agents in the region have lacked the modern tools to efficiently manage rental transactions at scale. "This partnership with Bayou Board of Realtors represents a strategic entry point into a market that's truly ready for RentSpree's services," said Michael Lucarelli, CEO and Co-Founder of RentSpree. "The opportunity is significant, and this collaboration positions us to become the dominant rental solution for this market. We're thrilled to help BBOR agents and Louisiana landlords simplify and modernize their rental flows." Building a scalable model for Louisiana growth. This launch serves a dual purpose: immediately empowering BBOR agents with best-in-class rental tools while also establishing a proven integration model that RentSpree can leverage to expand into larger Louisiana markets, such as the New Orleans and Baton Rouge regions. It's a win-win proposition, says Lucarelli: "Rentals are a great way into the housing market for agents, landlords, and even renters," He continues: "By starting with BBOR and building from there, we're creating a foothold in Louisiana that positions us to help revolutionize the rental process across the state for everyone involved."

RentSpree and TurboTax team up to take the "pop quiz" out of tax season for landlords and agents. Updated on Feb 11, 2026 Published on Feb 10, 2026 PR Director Top rated, trusted screening, rent payments, and more. RentSpree has teamed up with TurboTax to make tax season easier for landlords and real estate agents. The new partnership gives RentSpree users exclusive savings on TurboTax and tools to confidently file, maximize deductions, and reduce tax-time stress. For many in the rental industry, tax season can feel like a surprise math test you forgot to study for. Real estate agents can be found hunting through gloveboxes for mileage receipts, and landlords are left digging through drawers and folders to find repair invoices to justify their Schedule Es or 1099s. And then there's the filing itself: even though the exam is open-book, it's hard to confidently know you're using the right reference guides. RentSpree, the #1 platform for agents and landlords, aims to take the guesswork out of the rental cycle. With the launch of an exciting partnership with TurboTax, that now includes tax season. Millions of RentSpree users can now claim an exclusive discount on the software that helps all customers feel informed, prepared, and assured they're getting the most out of their unique tax situation. Solving 1099 and Schedule E headaches for landlords and agents Independent landlords and agents often come to RentSpree with the experience of acting as "part-time detectives" in past tax seasons, piecing together the mysteries of their rental finances and hoping to reconstruct a year's worth of income and expenses across disconnected apps and bank statements. RentSpree helps bring disparate finances and accounts under one roof, eliminating these invoice scavenger hunts. Adding tax-time help via this TurboTax collaboration just makes sense. "This partnership is about more than just a discount; it's about removing the friction that traditionally defines tax season for real estate pros," says Michael Lucarelli, CEO and Co-Founder of RentSpree. "Mom-and-pop landlords and busy agents shouldn't have to learn complicated accounting just to protect and maximize their investments and grow their businesses." Optimizing rental deductions and maximizing returns As RentSpree continues to help give order to the sprawl and chaos of rental finances, TurboTax offers a solution for flipping the script on that oh-so-dreaded day in April. Instead of a stress-fest, tax time can be an opportunity to save and even earn. All RentSpree members will get up to 20 percent on TurboTax, and can use the platform to get targeted help with the following: * Identifying landlord-specific breaks: TurboTax helps catch every dollar spent on repairs, maintenance, and advertising. * Automating agent deductions: Agents can effortlessly turn listing fees and vehicle mileage into real savings. * Accelerating refunds: Filing soon ensures landlords and agents stay ahead of TurboTax price increases, and ensures swifter tax returns. Filing your stress away This exclusive partnership ensures that RentSpree users don't just file their taxes on time, but are also maximizing their returns and minimizing anxiety. With the expert help of TurboTax, landlords and agents can stop worrying about "getting it right" and start focusing on growing (and optimizing) their rental businesses or closing their next deals.
