A New Way of Renting

forREAL is a modern platform built to simplify every part of the leasing experience — for both tenants and landlords.

Tenants can browse listings, explore neighborhoods, and take high-quality 3D tours, all from their phones. With personalized search tools, they can discover the right fit, then apply, sign, and pay — seamlessly, in one place.

Landlords hand us the keys, and we take care of the rest. We scan the unit, build the listing, and manage the entire leasing cycle — from virtual tours and applicant screening to lease signing and rent collection. Maintenance, messaging, financials, and documents are all centralized in one easy-to-use platform.

We combine smart technology with real service to make renting more intuitive, more efficient, and built for how people live today.

Renting just got smarter.

Our Story

With over a decade of experience 3D scanning architectural sites across Japan, Peru, Italy, Chile, Greece, and the United States, our founder — Nikolaos Vlavianos, PhD in Design and Computation from MIT — created the most advanced 4.0 remote apartment leasing platform — forREAL.

At MIT, his research explored how people respond to their environments — and how immersive digital twins (virtual experiences) could revolutionize architecture and real estate. Toward the end of his PhD, Niko joined the MIT–Pillar AI Collective Fellowship for entrepreneurs, followed by the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps program.

Backed by respected angel investors, forREAL was built from the ground up by a team of full-stack engineers, robotics specialists, and business development experts —with support from innovation advisors in Washington D.C., Boston, and New York. Together, we launched three distinct solutions to simplify and modernize leasing.
