How Do I Make an Ad for a Rental Property?

Advertising your property for rent impacts your vacancy time and the type of tenant you attract. Today, we're discussing some things to consider when you're putting together an advertising strategy. 

Advertise House for Rent: Curb Appeal

In previous blogs, curb appeal is one of the most important things we have discussed. You need to ensure your house looks appealing before advertising it. So, ensure it looks good when potential tenants approach the property and clean up any weeds, debris, or trash outside your home.

Crafting Advertisements

The ad you run should make people want to see the property. Whether it's a yard sign, flyer, or a posting on Craigslist and other online sites, you want to grab the attention of prospective tenants. Talk about the amenities included, the property's square footage, and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Paint the best picture you can.

Photos and Videos

We highly recommend good video equipment and excellent lighting. If you have blinds, open them up, and get good light for your pictures. Take enough photos to show the property. If you can, do a video tour of the property. That will mean fewer calls but higher quality calls. The potential tenants already saw the house through the video and remain interested. That wastes less of your time.

Responsiveness and Availability

Have a good contact number and answer any calls and emails promptly. People are in a hurry and will want to see the property immediately. If they can't, they'll move on to the next property so they can move in quickly.

Having everything in place will go a long way toward renting your house and finding a high-quality tenant. Remember to screen carefully and follow all fair housing guidelines.
