Posting to Social Media with Rental Beast

Agents and Rental Beast staff can now share “Rental Beast Reviewed” listings on Facebook, Twitter, and CraigsList with the push of a button!

Shared Listing links will be the same as those clients/customers had already been able to share via Email.

The Tutorial below will guide you through the process.

Select your requirements and location in the Broker Portal to bring up our listings in your preferred VIEW (List View, Detail View or Map View). Remember: Only Rental Beast Reviewed listings are able to be shared.
Rental Beast Reviewed listings appear with a Red Check Mark in “List View”
On the right-hand side of the listing, you’ll find the SHARE button. Clicking this button gives you a dropdown menu with the choices of Facebook, Twitter, and CraigsList.
