    There is more than one American Dream.

    Of course, owning your own home is one of those dreams.

    It’s been an aspiration for a long time, and we know that millions struggle to achieve it.

    But there are other American Dreams many of us are pursuing.

    Some of these dreams are about living our lives in different ways than previous generations - for whom owning was everything.

    We may want to use the cash we have to start a business.

    We may want the flexibility to experience new places.

    We may not have the money yet for home ownership – but still dream of living in a glorious home where we can put down roots and experience the richness of connection to a place.

    This is a new mindset.

    We are a community of people looking for a dream rental, and people who own properties and are looking for people who will love them as much as they do.

    The old-school terms “landlord” and “tenant” don’t apply in our world. In our world, there are people who want to adopt homes for a while, and people who have wonderful residences ready for them.

    Our owners are not giant holding companies that own thousands of homes and view them as assets, no different than stocks or bonds or complex derivatives.

    There’s a level of mutual respect and caring in our world that simply doesn’t exist in the transactional, brutalist world of landlords and tenants.

    We support owners in managing their properties, so they can treat the people who live there with the attention, speed and concern they deserve.

    And we support those who are living an ownership-free lifestyle by creating a true community in every neighborhood you’ll find us. When you are part of our community you get connected not only to each other, but also to the local merchants, events, and institutions that give communities their unique character.

    Before, renters often felt like second-class citizens; with us, they become an immediate and integral part of the community.

    So, whether you own property looking for someone to live in it and love it or you’re looking for a home where you can put down roots – for however long you’re planning to be there – we are the answer.

    Renting is the new American lifestyle. We didn’t create it, but we’re making it sing.
