Struggling with my "No Pet" Policy

[Fareen E.]

HELP! First time landlord here, three days into my first rental property and I can't get much action on my listing! Yes, the time of year isn't helping but the few bites I have gotten are *all* pet owners. Everything I seem to have read/listened to points to "avoid pets". For context, here's the listing: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1216-Gardner-Pond-Ln-Vick...

Suggestions? 
Please and thank you!

OMG, 3 full days during a work week without it renting? Cut your losses and let it go to foreclosure!!

Looking at other listings, it appears that it is priced well, a little lower than other comparable homes. However, it is a little higher than 3/2 homes which might be more desirable for that area. I'd hold firm on the price.

Based on the other listings that show 20-30 days on the market, I suspect that this is an area that just takes a little time to rent. 

The listing itself is OK. I do feel like you're trying to sell me something with all the refreshes and updates and modern whatnot. I'd tone it down and just say it is updated. The pics will do a lot of the talking for you.

That shower is creepy. 

Over half of all households have a pet. Saying no to pets is saying no to over 50% of the potential renters. It's foolish. Even more so when that pet becomes an ESA. 

Your listing needs to talk up the excellent schools more. That is the selling point of this place. Unfortunately for you, school has already started, so you missed out on a lot of potential renters.
