Advertising Your Rental on the Internet


Today’s home rental websites are set up to not only provide descriptive textual advertisements but also a visual ad with a variety of color photos of the rental property. Photos, virtual home tours, mapping with driving directions, email, text messaging and phone for rapid connection to the owner or property manager are common amenities used in marketing rental properties. With this type of on-line advertising the renter has a clear picture of the property including the requirements for renting prior to contacting the landlord or property management company. These types of advertisements connect more qualified tenants to a property than any other type of advertising or marketing medium available today.

Many sites provide landlords or property managers the option of uploading their rental application along with their rental advertisement. Allowing potential renters to fill out and send it directly to the property manager a completed rental application.  Allowing  for a rapid connection between the renter and landlord.  this results in more signed leases at a higher rental rate. Check your local rental market for home rental advertising websites. Rental owners and property management companies are marketing their vacancies on the websites that advertise in local and state markets. Posting rental ads on local or state websites puts your advertisement in the location of your rental property and where most renters reside or perhaps relocate to. Tenants moving to your location or across the country are more likely to search local or state rental markets first since they have already chosen their state and city. Searching a national site takes more time and provides far less appeal to many serious renters searching in today’s rental marketplace.
Check the internet for local rental websites and review the information required to develop a complete advertisement. This type of marketing allows more information to be provided than a local newspaper can allow. For the first time, write down the property details along with taking several photos. Developing additional information and photos allows you to make as many changes to your marketing details without incurring additional cost.
