And we did. Like all startups it’s been a bit of a roller coaster journey, but we’re now stronger than ever, with around 3000 letting agents using the platform, exciting & varied product lines and over 300 Goodlordians across the group supporting the mission!
At Goodlord, our purpose is clear: to build the best rental experience in the world. We know that people are central to achieving that mission, which is why we’ve worked so hard to make Goodlord a genuinely great place to work.
