We write unique, descriptive rental ads and publish them on 20+ websites. In secure markets we offer cutting-edge Self-Showings for prospect instant gratification – which leads to more showings and less vacancy time. All inquiries, showings and applications are tracked to generate bi-weekly Marketing Reports.

Below are the activities handled by our Marketing Department to get as much exposure for your advertised rentals as possible.

  1. Verify Property Showable
    Many owners think we should just throw up any old ad as soon as possible to get their property rented quickly. It’s been shown by many experts that this gives a property a “bad reputation” as everything on the internet stays on the internet. While your property doesn’t have to be 100% Rent-Ready, we make sure it’s in acceptable showable condition before marketing it.
  2. Take Pics
    We want your property to look it’s best when a prospect is searching online. Also, in today’s market, ads without pics are rarely looked at, so we must have decent pics before we can advertise your property.
  3. Write Ad
    Once we have enough information about your property, a descriptive ad is written about your property. We include room sizes and other pertinent facts about the property to attract the right prospects.
  4. Touchup Pics
    To avoid crooks copying our pics and running fake ads, we watermark all our pics with our log and phone number. We also adjust rotation, brightness, intensity and other aspects of pics to make them as attractive as possible.
  5. Rent Analysis
    Since there is no single source of reliable rental data, we check multiple sources for rental comparables to determine market rent for your property.
  6. Owner Approval
    The ad and rental analysis are presented to you for your final approval before it is published.
  7. Ad Published
    Once an ad and price are approved, the ad is published and syndicated to numerous websites. Click here for the list of websites you can find your property on.
  8. Schedule Showings
    Consumers shopping for a rental home today expect immediate gratification, so we use an online system that allows prospects to self-schedule showings and where possible, schedule self-showings. This maximizes the number of showings for your properties, getting your property rented faster.
  9. Obtain Applications
    To meet the expectations of as many prospects as possible, we offer several methods of applying for your property.
  10. Monitor Activity
    Unfortunately, not every vacant property rents out as fast as the owner expects. So, we monitor the number of web views, inquiries, scheduled showings, completed showings, submitted applications and approved applications – and analyze this data to recommend ad edits, ad reboots, price drops or property improvements.
