Your rental vacancy posted across the best rental listing sites is a good step to grabbing their attention. But it\u2019s the finer details of the rental listing that will help you stand out from the crowd to attract stellar tenants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it takes some time upfront, these tips can save busy landlords like you, time and energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rental Listing Basics for Clarity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many landlords use some form of property management software which often has a syndication feature that pushes your rental listing information to multiple rental listing sites. Each of those sites has its own algorithm for creating the post title but often include the following:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rental price<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number of bedrooms<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number of bathrooms<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Property type (apartment, duplex, house, etc.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> If you use property management software with built-in syndication features, be sure to take time to enter all the information for each property.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t use property management software and are manually creating your listing, be sure to include those elements into your listing title.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a Compelling Rental Listing Description\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re a busy landlord! You don\u2019t have time to write a novel. But what if I tell you that writing a compelling description could actually save you loads of time?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to flip the phrase \u2018time is money\u2019 on its head and invest some time now to save you time and ultimately money later. Spend time to draft a description that\u2019s compelling and detailed can save you time by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curtailing the number of calls and emails from shoppers asking questions that could be answered in the description.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reducing the number of applications you receive from those that don\u2019t meet the basic requirements you\u2019ve set to qualify.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limiting the tenant screening process to only qualified applicants.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lessening the number of rental viewing appointments.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All those calls, applications, screenings, and viewings you didn\u2019t have to handle is a bundle of time you can use for much more important tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, there\u2019s more &#8212; you can now use your rental listing as a template for all your future rental vacancies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important Elements of a Rental Listing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your description should repeat the title elements but with much more detail. From there, you\u2019ll want to list out all the amenities and features of the home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common amenities that get listed are laundry options such as washer\/dryer hookups or if the kitchen has a dishwasher. But here\u2019s a shortlist of amenities and features you might not have remembered in your previous listings:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional outbuildings such as garage, sheds, workshops<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional rooms such as bonus rooms, den, office<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parking, transit, and shopping information<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdoor spaces such as front and back yards, garden, types of plants and trees<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Privacy and security features<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to use descriptive adjectives for your features and amenities. Your goal here is to highlight the features but be careful not to oversell. It\u2019s ok to say there is a captivating view of the surrounding mountains if it\u2019s true. But if they can only see a glimpse, maybe it\u2019s best to say the home is located nearby surrounding mountains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong>: Describe the rental in a way the reader can picture it in their minds-eye or can imagine themselves living there. Be sure the description compliments supporting photos and describes the features you&#8217;ve not pictured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best practice for pulling in the most qualified applicants is to be specific. In addition to the basics, amenities, features, and location, you will want to list out the lease terms, requirements for renting, and expectations they should have moving forward.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: If you offer online payment options, remember to include them in your listing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example Of A Rental Listing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic listing gets the job done but leaves room for many questions. An average rental listing adds more detail and may get you more applicants but doesn\u2019t differentiate between the plethora of average listings a prospective tenant is viewing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compelling and detailed is the way to go to not only grab attention but also to pre-qualify by setting the tone and requirements necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Clean, ready, and waiting for you to call home!

It doesn\u2019t have to be done by a professional (although it can help as they know all the tricks of lighting and perspective) but it must be done professionally. What that means is that the pictures should be taken with care to highlight all the amenities and features in a way that promotes understanding of what to expect if they were to rent there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pro tips<\/strong>: Clean mirrors and windows before taking pictures. Make sure the home is well lit by turning on lights and opening curtains. Try capturing pictures of the interior at each angle as if you are a prospective tenant is walking through the home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another common mistake is to only have a few pictures to offer. These days of virtual shopping, more is best. Most property management software, syndication tools, and rental listing sites allow you to upload dozens of pictures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What pictures could be added? Community housing could include pictures of common areas. Single family homes could have pictures of the neighborhood from the view of the front yard. Add a picture of the floor plan if you have it. Go crazy and start uploading those pictures; a good goal is about 10-20 good shots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, this is helpful for your template as you\u2019ll only have to update them when some major changes or renovations occur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rental Listing Mistakes to Avoid<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t say what type of tenants you are looking for or what type would enjoy the home (great for kids, perfect for retired, etc.). Be familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/fair-housing-act\/\">anti-discrimination regulations<\/a> and be sure your listing complies.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DONT USE ALL CAPS. It might seem like a good idea to get attention but it comes across as visual shouting.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t use exclamation points!!! Make a statement with accurate and descriptive language instead of punctuation as it will come across as more professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be boring. A short description or one a listing without good pictures just won\u2019t work these days. You can be concise and clear in a way that sets you apart. You could even consider adding a bit of humor and personality in your listing; especially if you need to remark on a feature or location that is less than stellar.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Rental Listing Sites\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve compiled a list of some of the most popular and best rental listing sites across the internet:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apartments.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (which includes <\/span>ApartmentFinder.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span>Doorsteps.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span>Move.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>ApartmentList<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Craigslist<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Dwellsy<\/li>\n<li>Facebook Marketplace<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Homes.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Hunt.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Oodle<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Realtor.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>RentBits<\/li>\n<li>RentPath (which includes Apartment Guide<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span>Rent.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span>Lovely<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span>Rentals.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span>RentalHouses.com<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Trovit<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Zillow<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span>Trulia<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span>HotPads<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are all part of the Zillow family.*\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Note that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/zillow-rental-listing-changes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zillow now requires a partnership agreement to accept a syndication feed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for any of their websites.
