About Us

Avenue One is a service platform and marketplace that enables investors to access single-family rental residential assets by connecting an ecosystem of boots-on-the-ground, local partners to institutional capital. We are in the business of partnerships—finding, vetting, and empowering local experts nationwide to broker, find, buy, renovate, lease, manage, and sell properties on behalf of our clients. We coordinate the efforts of our partners through a proprietary technology stack. This system takes in huge amounts of data at national and local levels, which, combined with information about each individual property, gives us and our partners a competitive advantage in pricing, speed, and scale. The technology is constantly evolving, but it can only be as good as our team that drives it, which is where you come in.
