About Jonas Bordo Jonas Bordo is the CEO and Co-Founder of Dwellsy, the free residential rental marketplace that makes it easy to find hard-to-find rentals. Prior to co-founding Dwellsy, Jonas was a senior executive at several leading real estate firms including Essex Property Trust and Bentall GreenOak and was with the Boston Consulting Group after graduating with his MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Jonas has had the good fortune to build, re-build and lead amazing teams across the multifamily and commercial real estate operational and strategic spectrum, manage large P&Ls, deliver big profit increases, orchestrate the sale of several businesses, develop a strategic plan for one of the world's leading symphony orchestras, implement a Toyota production system and create more than 40 brands. He is husband to Rosalind and father to Bailey, Zach and Thea, an avid hiker, a lifelong learner and a maker of things, sometimes out of wood. About Dwellsy Dwellsy is a comprehensive residential home rentals marketplace based on the radical concept that true, organic search in a free eco-system creates more value than the pay-to-play model embraced by all of the current rental listing services. Indeed, while barely more than a year old, Dwellsy has more residential rental listings than any of the major listing sites—as well as the most diverse set of listings—including both affordable and higher-end properties. Dwellsy's entirely different approach to residential rental listings focuses on presenting houses and apartments based on features renters need and want — not based on how much landlords pay to show their listings. Dwellsy investors include Blackhorn Ventures, Anne Wojcicki, Stanford Professors, and a number of residential real estate industry insiders. Jonas and the Dwellsy team have also recently launched their own podcast, Rent Matters, available wherever you listen to podcasts!

The rental market is tough on both renters and landlords alike. This episode will discuss the challenges of renting and how it affects landlords and tenants. Dwellsy is a site for residential home rentals, built on the radical concept that true, organic search in a free eco-system creates more value than the pay-to-play model embraced by all current rental listing services. With Dwellesy Renters should be able to find ALL of the rentals, all in ONE place. They should be able to trust that a listing is not fraudulent. And they should be able to quickly distill down to rentals that meet their preferences -- not be driven toward irrelevant listings from paid placement. Owners and Managers should be able to list and lease their vacant units for free. Not free with an asterisk. Free. (You can never create a true, organic search on a play-to-play model.) We are on a mission to transform the home rental market for everyone involved.

Join Duc Ong and his co-host, Steve Fierros, as they chat with Jonas Bordo about protecting landlords and tenants from frauds and adapting to the rental market's challenges caused by the pandemic. Jonas is a landlord to more than 100,000 people and CEO and co-founder of Dwellsy, a free rental listing site where owners and property managers can get high-quality leads for free and where renters can find a rental and make it home. He created Dwellsy after seeing how difficult it was for renters to find rentals as scams exploded in number on Craigslist. He also saw how rapidly rental inventories shrunk, and marketing costs grew for multifamily and single-family owners and operators because of pay-to-play ILS platforms significantly raising their prices. All the while, lead quality on rental listings sites plummeted. In this episode, also learn more from Jonas about the demand for reputation management in the rental market! The Demand Reputation Management in the Rental Market Apartment communities often struggle with reputation management, specifically in terms of the traditional rating approach. In contrast to restaurants and stores with multiple opportunities to get a good rating, apartments and other residential home rentals only have opportunities to do the same. Even worse, there would always be a bad day for the few tenants who do rate these places, where they would have maintenance issues, and the landlord would not be around to fix it, and the like. In turn, Jonas would often find that apartments' reputation scores only map out how hard the rental listing platform or the landlord is working on reputation management, instead of how good that landlord or that community is as a place to live. Right now, there is a demand for reputation management, and rental listing platforms like Dwellsy need to thread an approach for it. They need to provide an accurate picture of what it is like to live in an apartment community and what its landlord is genuinely like, but that would require nuance and critical thinking. About Jonas Bordo: Jonas Brodo is the CEO and co-founder of Dwellsy, a site where renters can find rentals all in one place, and landlords can list and lease their vacant units for free. The company believes in the radical concept that accurate, organic search in a free eco-system creates more value than the pay-to-play model embraced by all current rental listing services.
