The beginning of a new season is a great time to check for and begin repairs on your home. With the weather becoming pleasant, these responsibilities will seem less of a hassle. Doing this is especially important if you're planning on renting out your property.

We are looking to partner with new vendors. If you think you'd be a good fit, we would love to hear from you! For information about how to apply to become a vendor with Rentwell, visit our vendors page.

Rentwell is a newcomer to the Wilmington area--our Delaware office opened last summer.  Thinking about following our lead? Check out our top five reasons to relocate to Wilmington, DE!

1. We can help you set the best rental rates. Many landlords charge rental rates based on the numbers they see in the classified ads. This can be a decent strategy, but it doesn't compare to the method of conducting a thorough market study. We will find a rental price that ensures that you can achieve a balance between maximizing monthly income and maintaining low vacancy rates.

Rentwell is excited to serve the state of Delaware, where we set up shop in June, 2016. Featuring tax-free shopping and a variety of headquarters for large businesses and banks, this state is an ideal spot for professionals. However, Delawareans are hardly all work and no play! Check out our list below for the five greatest recreational areas for enjoying the great outdoors in Delaware.

The percentage of US households who own their home is at its lowest percentage since 1965. Conversely, the number of renters is at an all-time high.  According to Buildium, 2016 was a great year to own a rental property. More than ever, Americans are seeking rental housing, and the number is only expected to increase in the foreseeable future.

Baltimore is an up and coming, vibrant city with a lot to offer. In honor of our new Baltimore location, we decided to compile a list of the hottest neighborhoods in the area. Hampden, one of the neighborhoods on our list, was eighth on Redfin's hottest neighborhoods in the country for 2016! Redfin compiles this list at the beginning of each year to predict which neighborhoods will thrive. For 2016, the focus was on affordability, public transit, and charm.

We are excited to announce that we have expanded our offices to include a location in the Tampa Bay area. From our Palm Harbor office, we provide services to Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Oldsmar, and Dunedin. If you're interested in available rentals in this location, check out our Tampa area rentals page.

Rentwell has recently expanded by opening up a new office in Baltimore! Our new office is in Catonsville, so we are easily accessible for property management in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard, Harford, and Caroll counties. For a close look at the properties we have available in this area, visit our Baltimore rentals page.
