Our Story

Rentometer launched in 2006 with a simple goal: make rent analysis fast and easy.

After gaining early traction, the platform got a fresh start in 2012 when proptech veterans Michael Lapsley and Torrence Harder reimagined what Rentometer could be.

Since then, we’ve built the brand, enhanced our technology, and grown a team of experts dedicated to delivering best-in-class rent insights that real estate professionals nationwide have come to rely on.
