pace and feeling fenced in. They had an opportunity to move their family across the country
and completely change their lifestyle, to live out their dream. That is, to make the best
wine they could. It seems that dream is coming true.

RENTEC DIRECT! RECEIVES AWARDS

n 2007, the founder of Rentec Direct! managed his few rentals with pen, paper, spreadsheets
Iand his memory. As he added rentals, management became more burdensome. With a
background in software development, he knew there must be landlord-specific software
to help. He found nothing, so Nathan Miller decided to develop his own. Rentec Pro, with
features for landlords such as online rental payments and tenant screening, was born a
couple years later. Rentec Pro was so popular among landlords that the resulting company
soon added Rentec PM, which includes features like trust accounting to support the small-
midsize property management community.

Rentec Direct! was recently honored by Inc Magazine on its INC 5000 List of America’s
Fastest-Growing Private Companies, its second year on the list. They are pleased to be in
the company of current and past recipients such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow and many
other well-known brands. They were also named one of the Best Entgrepreneurial Companies in America by Entrepreneur magazine in 2018.
Further, Rentec Direct! won three gold level Stevie Awards in the 2018 American Business Awards—customer service, company of the year,
and entrepreneur of the year.
