In Detroit, property management in one, single platform

Castle lets property owners manage listings, market rentals, collect rent, and provide maintenance all in one platform.

We have seen new innovations in property renting such as a transparent platform to protect renters against scams, and a property marketplace specializing in reliable, family properties for rent. Now, a new digital platform based in Detroit is helping make life simpler for property owners.

Castle is a startup that brings together all the traditional elements of property management — listing, marketing, rent collection, maintenance — into one simple platform. Once a property is uploaded to Castle, it is immediately marketed on 40 property sites.

Prospective tenants can instantly book viewings, and these are handled by Castle’s Stewards — freelance, on-demand staff who show properties or organize maintenance — and the whole process is managed through a modern interface for property owners.

The company also charges owners a flat fee of USD 79 per unit per month, rather than a percentage of the rent like many property management companies.

How can technology and property renting be made smoother for both renters and landlords?
