Summary

Simplirenta is an app launched in February 2020 that aims to simplify the rental process for properties in Latin America by removing complex steps and making it efficient, transparent, and user-friendly. The co-founders, Melissa Schneider and Jose Andres Mayora, built the app using Bubble's no-code platform, which enabled them to adapt quickly to renters' needs without external development support. Simplirenta allows users to search for properties, participate in virtual tours, filter listings by location, and connect directly with landlords, making it easier for people to find their ideal home. With a strong background in operations and finance, Melissa and Jose discovered Bubble through a friend's recommendation and were drawn to its flexibility and power, which allowed them to launch the app rapidly and make changes based on customer feedback. The app has seen promising web traffic and has made rapid changes to adapt to user needs, with plans to expand to other Latin American countries and transform the home rental process in major cities across the region.
