Having established competitive positions across Canada, the United States, and elsewhere around the world, ApartmentLove, as evidenced by the signing of this Agreement, continues to perform as promised. “While a cornerstone of our growth model is our plans to acquire and consolidate the deeply fragmented internet listing industry, our ability to organically grow ApartmentLove.com and the assets we acquire such as OwnerDirect.com which we purchased in July of 2022 and GottaRent.com which we bought in December of 2022, by way of scalable and accretive partnerships such as the one signed with Rhenti underscore our commitment to drive revenues and generate even stronger returns for our growing shareholder base,” said Trevor Davidson – President & CEO of ApartmentLove. Mr. Davidson added, “Partnering with Rhenti and integrating our systems via dedicated and proven reliable data transfer feeds makes it that much easier for property managers, private landlords, and realtors in the GTA and elsewhere across the country to list their homes and apartments on our short and long-term rental marketing platforms.”
Mr. Davidson went on to explain that the Company has completed its exhaustive testing of the Rhenti data transfer feed and will move to commercialization beginning March 1, 2023. With hundreds of currently active rental listings, many of which in the GTA, already being syndicated to ApartmentLove via the Rhenti feed, Management estimates the Company will generate not less than $125,000 in annualized operating profit attributable to the Agreement at today’s initial and still growing volumes.
In its well-publicized plans to consolidate the deeply fragmented internet listing industry, ApartmentLove successfully completed two acquisitions in the second half of 2022. The first, OwnerDirect.com, was the acquisition of a short-term vacation rental platform that closed in July 2022. The second, GottaRent.com, was the acquisition of a long-term home and apartment rental marketplace which closed in December 2022. The Company is well capitalized and has raised more than $3,300,000 in a private placement convertible debenture offering led by Canaccord Genuity, the final tranche of which closed on January 31, 2023.
“ApartmentLove is a global operator and their GottaRent.com platform has an excellent reputation here in Ontario which we are thrilled to include in our carefully curated network of listing sites,” said Tomas Ronis – Founder & CEO of Rhenti. Mr. Ronis added, “Property managers who advertise rental listings via Rhenti will see their properties posted on ApartmentLove.com and GottaRent.com, garnering them more exposure and attracting more rental inquiries from action-oriented renters, seeking accommodations in all major Canadian rental markets.”
