This case study is based on an interview with Rebecca Miller, Assistant Property Manager at SJC Management Group. All quotes are attributed to her unless stated otherwise.
The SJC Management team has over 30 years of experience in residential property management. As a full-service property management company, they handle everything from tenant relations to marketing to maintenance and more. As they’ve grown to manage 600+ properties across the state of Washington, SJC continually seeks out new ways to better serve their residents. In January 2024, they sought out Boom to add an additional component to their resident benefits package: on-time only rent reporting to help their renters build credit.
"Our renters were definitely interested and didn’t hesitate to enroll. Surprisingly not very many questions. The entire process was very smooth.”
With Boom, renters can build their credit over time as they make consistent, on-time rental payments.
Boom reports rent payments to all three major credit bureaus—Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.
All renters using Boom can track their reported payments and credit score progress via the Boom app.
At Boom, our goal is to make housing more flexible, affordable, and rewarding.
Boom was started in late 2020 as one of our co-founders, Rob Whiting, helped two of his family members navigate housing instability due to
COVID-19 - related job loss. During this time, he saw just how archaic and difficult renting remains for the majority of the 110 million renters in the US like his family members. And the rent payment is at the center of this.
Not only has rent increased >4x faster than income for the majority of renters since the early 2000s, but the tools available to renters and landlords alike has similarly stagnated. Rent remains one large lump sum, with no additional benefits on top of paying rent - a fact that can make renting feel like money down the drain. At Boom, we believe that housing can be more flexible, affordable, and rewarding. We’ve started by enabling you to build credit with the rent payments you already make.
