US: Revnest, a real estate marketplace for buying and selling vacation homes, has announced that it has acquired vacation rental data provider Hungry Robots.
Having built its core product on verifying a home’s actual performance data, Revnest has purchased Hungry Robots to expand its data capabilities. As a result, the company will now have access to more than 30 million global hotel and short-term rental listings, including the full collection of OTA data from Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, such as listing content, daily availability and real-time pricing.
Understanding how a home has performed compared to the local market gives the real estate industry a holistic picture on investment performance. The acquisition is said to mark a “significant” milestone in Revnest’s mission to deliver accurate, comprehensive, and actionable data on every piece of real estate worldwide.
Founded in 2023, the marketplace enables buyers and investors to view verified short-term rental properties and interact directly with owners or listing agents.
Keith Breon, co-founder and CEO of Revnest, said: “By integrating Hungry Robots’ forward looking projection data alongside our verified historical data we are taking a significant leap forward in our mission to deliver the most comprehensive and actionable real estate insights for the industry.”
In addition, the company has hired Jaime Kamps-Duac as enterprise sales director to provide data solutions to clients while assisting in the direction and development of new core data products. Kamps-Duac has worked with short-term rental data solutions over the past four years and has been an Airbnb Superhost since 2016.
Post-acquisition, Revnest will continue to offer the full raw OTA data from Hungry Robots, as well as offer boutique data services for custom data solutions.
