Smarter Agent, a tech start-up that originally served to help brokers go mobile, but now serves a wider range of househunters searching for listings within their desired area, has just received $6 million in funding, TechCrunch blog reported. This most recent funding injection brings the company’s total funding to $18 million.
Founded by New Jersey brothers Brad and Eric Blumberg, the mobile platform allows agents and consumers to search for available rental properties within their immediate vicinity, along with listing pictures, maps and the ability to contact the landlord or rental agent.
The new funding will be used to develop Smarter Agent’s mobile search platform and for new hiring, TechCrunch said. [TechCrunch]
