As a REALTOR, I am the logical person for someone needing a rental to go to or call. Our area Storm Lake Iowa and Alta Iowa is experiencing an extreme shortage of rental properties, mostly residential. I believe it is a fairly simple problem with an equally simple solution. Any ideas out there or anyone developed a centralized place to source rentals? I am not interested in reinventing the wheel unless I have to.
We are a strange area when it comes to sharing information between REALTORS, most of our local mls members will not participate in an IDX system of showing each other's listing on other Brokerage or agent's websites. One comment was, it could help another real estate business, apparently it doesn't matter that an IDX system is hands down what is best for their buyer and seller clients. So when it comes to sharing knowledge of available rentals I don't expect a lot of participation.
With that in mind, any ideas on how to get all the local available rental properties in one spot would be great!
