QuintoAndar offers a platform where users can explore, book, rent and promote properties online. They use a proprietary credit analysis algorithm to take care of contract compliance and erase the need for renters to have co-signers, deposits or rental insurance.
They guarantee landlords they will get their rent every month; guaranteed through QuintoAndar's credit analysis and insurance program. They offer landlords protection against damages to their property and a network of service providers to repair or maintenance a property through their platform.
Through their platform, and their app, renters can book a viewing to an apartment. The viewing can be accompanied by a certified rental agent. The rental agent is coordinated in a fashion similar to Uber drivers.
After viewing, the renter can negotiate directly with the landlord, sign the rental contract online along with their rental guarantees.
History
Started by CEO Gabriel Braga and CTO André Penha in 2013, QuintoAndar intially offered an online marketplace where tenants and landlords could search for each while working to eliminate the need for guarantors, rental insurance or deposits.
