Got my first rental posted on all the major sites. I'm getting 1-2 calls/emails per day since 7/1. Below are my response numbers. 

Trulia gets a lot of traffic, but it's mostly out of state phone numbers and I never get return calls/emails. Is this common? 

How do these numbers look?

Overall #'s:

Contacted: 17 times

No returned calls/emails:  8

Showings Scheduled: 8

No Shows: 4

Applications: 1

  • Zillow
    • Contacted by 6 people
      • 3 - They didn't return my calls when I told them requirements
      • 3 Showings 
        • 1 applied and I declined due to terrible credit/payment history & 45 minutes late to showing
        • Waiting to hear back from one couple that saw it late last night
        • 1 showing scheduled
  • Trulia
    • Contacted by 7 people
      • 5 - Out of state phone numbers and don't respond to my emails or phone #'s
      • 1 showing, but didn't realize after me stating it 3 times that no pets were allowed
      • 1 no return call in
  • Craigslist
    • Contacted by 4
      • 3 no shows
      • 1 showing scheduled for today - not expecting him to show up.
