My friend actually mentioned how useful this would be! One of the difficulties they may face though, at least in a market like mine (Boulder, CO) may be indexing and working with the housing that is already organized by rental agencies. There's three large ones where I'm at and I cant imagine they would make it very easy, especially if Cribspot wants to take some of the responsibilities from the agencies, responsibility that the landlords pay the agencies to take care of. It will be interesting to see how crib spot deals with this aspect considering these agencies run so much housing around here

I'm glad you think we're useful!

Our number one focus is solving the student problem. We don't intent to take responsibilities away from these agencies, but rather to make it easier to fulfill them. We make it easier for them to fill their properties faster at no cost to them. Generally property management companies have received this very well.
