If you own a rental property in Concord, NC and surrounding areas, one of the most important things you need to know is how to market your investment property. Why? Because every day your property sits vacant is money out of your pocket. At Softwind Property Management, we've developed a proven marketing strategy to help owners minimize vacancies and attract high-quality tenants.
Below are Non-Negotiable Strategies you want to implement.
Price It Right from the Beginning
Know your market and what rental price is appropriate. Consider the square footage, amenities, condition, and location. Overpricing your rental is one of the biggest mistakes landlords make. A property priced too high will sit and that will cost you money.
The goal is to hit the sweet spot: competitive enough to generate interest, but fair enough to attract qualified tenants who will stay long-term.
Professional Photos and Videos
First impressions are important. If your photos are poor quality, if they look dark, blurry, or taken with a wide-angle lens that distorts the space then you have missed the mark. People want clear, high-quality photos so they can see all the home has to offer. I must say, I have had people from out of state rent from Softwind sight unseen due to professional photos and videos. The cost is well worth the results.
List on the Right Platforms
Maximum exposure is a must, so be sure to list on the top rental platforms to reach the most qualified applicants,— Zillow, Trulia, Rent.com, Apartments.com, your local MLS and more. Don't rely on just one site.
To ensure the largest possible audience, Softwind Property Management syndicates listings across dozens of platforms simultaneously.
Show the Property in Its Best Light
Remember, whether you're doing in-person or virtual showings, the experience matters. Be sure the home is in good repair, clean and odor free. Highlight storage space, updated appliances, outdoor areas or home upgrades.
Being professional, prepared, and friendly will get you off on the right foot while evaluating applicants. Just remember, they are evaluating you as a landlord too.
