Eric Friedman@ericfriedman · Head of Expa Labs
Hello Product Hunt, I’m very excited to share the launch of Chalet, an Expa Labs company! Chalet handles the day-to-day details of property management for rental property owners. Chalet takes the hassle out of management by powering the process and their team with software. Since they joined the Expa Labs program almost a year ago, I’ve seen this team turn t… See more

Thanks, Eric! Michelle & I started Chalet because we believe that property management hasn’t modernized as technology has improved and generally leaves owners and renters with poor experiences. I’m sure many of you can relate to the headaches of dealing with your property manager. Our goal is to build a better property management company, rooted in techn… See more

@cbkirk Congrats - this is much needed and looks reaaaallll nice. Curious what influenced the Sacramento launch?
Chris Kirk@cbkirk · Co-Founder @ Chalet
@jordanhosmer thanks!! We put a lot of thought into our first market and Sacramento made the most sense for us. The rental market there is blowing up, it's actually the fastest growing in the nation in terms of rent growth. It's very large with almost 250,000 rental units. We also wanted to start in a city that we felt accurately represented many other citie… See more

Congrats on the launch! Product looks great. Is there a way to bulk import data from other platforms? (e.g. Buildium)

@michelle_forcier_cunningham @siddharth_vora Congrats on the launch. Couldn't be happier for you and team? Help me compare your solution. Is this the https://zeusliving.com/ for non-corporate property management?
Michelle Cunningham@michelle_forcier_cunningham · Co-Founder / COO @ Chalet!
@hassanriggs @siddharth_vora Thanks! Our services are focused on what we call the "boutique" landlords. They typically have between one to several residential properties and are looking for long term renters. We found that this group suffers the most from lack of communication by many of the traditional property management solutions, so want to better serve … See more

Super excited someone is finally disrupting this domain. It's been stagnant for far too long. May want a bigger background image though––a lot of people use 28" monitors.
Michelle Cunningham@michelle_forcier_cunningham · Co-Founder / COO @ Chalet!
@seanbolak Thanks Bolak! We agree with you about the need for disruption, it's long overdue. Thanks for informing us about the background as well.
