RentCast Property Intelligence
Despite the name, RentCast provides far more than rental data. We leverage their comprehensive property intelligence platform for home valuations, market analytics, and property insights across the United States.
Pro tip: Don't let the name fool you — RentCast's property data API covers all residential properties, not just rentals. Their AVM and market data rivals major property intelligence providers.
