Back in 2016, we announced our new Wilmington, Delaware office, and we’ve been loving our time here since then! Wilmington has undergone a revival in recent years, and now is a great time to invest. Check out our list of five reasons to move to the area.

It is hardly a secret that workers trained in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are in high demand. Most new jobs are in these fields, half of them require a bachelor's degree, and only 50% of college graduates have degrees in STEM. And once those students graduate, they have a better chance of earning a high-paying salary than their non-STEM counterparts. 

Now that our Wilmington office has been open for a year and a half, we have the authority to say that Delaware is a great state! If you're making your first visit to the First State or are new to the area, you may be wondering what there is to do around here.  Lucky for you, we already got the ball rolling with Delaware's five best attractions. Our Five Favorite Attractions in Delaware 1. Lovely Libations: If you love a good brew, you will be happy to hear that Delaware is home to many award-winning microbreweries. There is no shortage of places to pop in a try the latest and greatest in the world of craft brewing. Favorite stops in the First State include 16 Mile Brewing Company, Crooked Hammock Brewery, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Mispillion River Brewing, Revelation Craft Brewing Company, and more! If wine is more your jam, check out Harvest Ridge Winery, Nassau Valley Vineyards, Salted Vines Vineyard & Winery, or Pizzadili Vineyard & Winery.2. For the Kiddos: Delaware is home to many beachside putt-putt courses, and your little ones will have a ball at Jungle Jim's Waterpark.  If you'd rather stay dry, take the family to Funland, where you can play arcade games and ride 20 different classic and modern rides. If you're looking for a fun activity for your kids that's also educational, look no further than the Delaware Children's Museum in Wilmington. Your little rascal will learn about science, technology, and math with hands-on activities for kids of all ages.3. Firefly Music Festival: Every summer, Dover's Woodlands are transformed into a musical oasis. 2017's festival featured artists like Bob Dylan, Chance the Rapper, Twenty One Pilots, Muse, and The Weeknd!4. Beachin' It: Small, but mighty, the First State boasts a variety of shoreside flavors. Fenwick Island, with its picturesque views and quaint lighthouse, is a quiet escape from the usual, while Rehoboth is a quirky town with out-of-this-world eateries. If you're after a wilder beach vacation, you can head to Dewey Beach. And those are just the tip of the iceberg. There's also Lewes, Bethany Beach, South Bethany Beach, and Cape Henlopen State Park.5. Tax-Free Shopping: Shopaholics will want to check out Christiana Mall, which is chock-full of upscale stores with easy-access to I-95. There are also three Tanger Outlet Centers near Rehoboth Beach (try the shuttle service that picks you up from the beach!) and dozens of one-of-a-kind boutiques in Rehoboth and Lewes. And don't forget, there's no sales tax in the First State! Not only is Delaware home to major corporations, but there are tons of ways to enjoy your time off the clock.

Back in November of 2016, we opened our Baltimore office. With its hot real estate market, for us, expanding into Baltimore was an easy decision. It's not hard to see why the millennial population is spiking in this city, so we wanted to swoop in and take advantage of Charm City's vibrant opportunities while they were still within reach. 

In 1910, Pittsburgh accounted for between one-third and one-half of the nation's steel exports.  Though the city is proud of its routes, it has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Today, it is a thriving, trendy city, full of culture and opportunity.

As Hurricane Irma approaches, our hearts are with our Florida clients. Though we are hoping for the best, it is wise to prepare for the worst. 

Rentwell has two exciting employment opportunities available for Licensed Agents! One is based out of our Wilmington, DE office, and one out of our Catonsville, MD office. This person loves to interact with people. They are self-motivated and appreciate a flexible schedule. Most of their time will be spent "in the field" networking with potential leads and referral sources. They are mainly responsible for two things - signing up new clients and placing tenants into vacant units. This is a full-time role. When hiring at Rentwell we look for individuals which share the same values as us. We are honest people who care about our family, our community and our health. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the best financial performance for their property, our residents with a safe and nice place to live, our vendors with timely payments and clear communication and our team with the tools they need to have the best life possible. We look forward to hearing from you!

Just like a property owner wants to find a tenant who is responsible and careful, potential tenants are looking for a clean and safe rental. If you are planning an open house with any of your properties, you'll want to make sure potential renters are getting the right first impression. They probably have quite a few options in mind so we have a few easy tips that will help your property stand out to the best tenants.
