Marketing Your Property
Vacancy Marketing Team
During the leasing process our vacancy marketing team is focused and committed to get your property marketed and leased to the most qualified resident as quickly as possible. During this time, you can expect us to be checking on your property daily, showing it to prospective residents, monitoring the listing on many key websites, answering applicant questions, etc. Our team will ensure that your property is presented in its best light online and in person to get you the best resident possible.
Professional Rental Market Analysis
Pricing the home correctly is one of the most important factors in getting it rented quickly while maximizing your gross income. Pricing under market value has some obvious negatives, while overpricing the home will cause the property to rent too slowly, missing out on critical income as well.
We start with a competitive rental price analysis which combines market data with our professional knowledge of current market conditions to give you the most accurate rental price possible. This will get the home rented as quickly as possible and for the most that the market will bear.
Online Advertising Exposure
We market your property from several key angles, one of the most important being through our property management software system. It then syndicates the listing out to multiple key websites, including all the popular rental sites like Zillow and Trulia. We also market your property on Facebook Marketplace and it is shared on our company Facebook page for increased exposure. Last, but certainly not least, is the powerful use of a simple sign in the yard which continues to prove an incredibly effective way to get interested applicants.
