Bilt

Rent reporting is evolving from a nice-to-have amenity into a regulatory requirement. California, for example, now requires many properties to offer residents the option to report their positive rent payment history to credit bureaus. While most solutions add cost and complexity, Bilt has offered free rent reporting since day one. 👉Learn how Bilt helps properties stay compliant while empowering residents to build financial health: https://lnkd.in/estNxGYP #Housing #Multifamily #BiltAlliance #PropTech #ResidentLoyalty

Did you hear some rumors recently? Well, they were right. 👀 For weeks, our members have been connecting dots, spotting clues, and flooding our DMs asking if the rumors were true. Today, we can finally say: YES. Bilt x Rakuten is officially live! This is about fundamentally changing how you think about rewards. Starting today, every purchase you make through Rakuten—from that new couch for your apartment to holiday gifts for everyone on your list—can now convert to Bilt Points. The timing? Not an accident. Black Friday is around the corner, and we wanted to make sure our members could maximize every single purchase this season. Here's what makes this special: ✅ Unbeatable Introductory Redemption Rate: For the first six months, you’ll get an incredible conversion rate of 1:1 (that means $10 of Rakuten Cash Back = 1,000 Bilt Points). ✅ Welcome Bonus: For a limited time, if you sign up for Rakuten through the Bilt app, you’ll earn 2,500 bonus Bilt Points after your first qualifying purchase of $25 or more. The best part? It's so seamless to set up. Link your accounts in the Bilt app (make sure your Bilt and Rakuten account emails match!), choose Bilt Points as your Rakuten payment method, and you're done. Your quarterly Rakuten payouts automatically convert to the most valuable points currency in the industry. Welcome to the Bilt ecosystem, Rakuten. Our members have been waiting for you!

What an amazing experience having Bilt partner with Greystar’s Women Asset Managers National Conference in Frisco, TX! Our team even got to meet Martha Stewart— a proud Bilt Member—before her keynote with Christine Espenshade, Vice Chairman at Newmark. Martha’s story—entrepreneur, media icon, creative visionary—was the perfect reflection of this year’s theme: The Beauty in Change. Her thoughts on reinvention, leadership, and transformation really hit home. Huge thanks to Greystar for bringing together such an inspiring group of women leaders. The energy and insight in that room truly represent the future of real estate. Margette Hepfner Janet Matheson Sean Walsh

Big news from Money20/20 today: Venmo is joining the Bilt ecosystem. 🎉 Starting in early 2026, our 5+ million members will be able to use Venmo to make their housing payments and on payments with 45,000+ neighborhood merchants, all while earning Bilt Points. Venmo will join Bilt's existing payment options of ACH, debit, and any linked credit card. Members will be able to make housing payments directly in the Bilt app, or within Venmo using their Venmo balance or linked payment methods. But this isn't just about adding another payment method; it's about meeting our members where they are. Venmo already connects nearly 100 million people through payments. Soon, we'll bring that simplicity and social connectivity to housing payments and neighborhood commerce together. For our members, this will mean even more choice and flexibility in how they pay: split costs with roommates, pay from a Venmo balance, earn points – all in just a few taps. And our property managers, merchants, and partners will all have a seamless, reliable way to get paid while connecting with an even broader customer base. By combining Venmo's reach, simplicity, and social connectivity with Bilt's rewarding housing and neighborhood commerce network, we're giving millions of members more flexibility and more value every single month.

Thank you CREtech for capturing our Main Stage session at #CREtechNewYork! Our President of Housing, Margette Hepfner, was thrilled to explore the future of resident loyalty alongside Scott Berka (Greystar), Trina Williams (Willow Bridge Property Company), and Chris Schmidt (Related Companies). The conversation reinforced what we believe at Bilt: housing is more than a transaction; it's the foundation of how people build their lives. When residents earn rewards throughout their housing journey and Bilt's ecosystem, from their first apartment to their future home, everyone wins. Properties see stronger renewals and reduced delinquency, while residents build loyalty with their communities as they work toward homeownership. We're grateful to partner with forward-thinking property leaders who understand that personalized rewards are powerful tools for transforming how people experience housing, driving NOI, and building lasting community connections. Here's to reimagining the entire housing journey, one neighborhood at a time.  #Multifamily #PropTech #Housing #ResidentExperience #LoyaltyInnovation #Bilt #NeighborhoodEcosystem
