Great Rental Listing Site and MY LANDLORD MISTAKE

[J. Martin]

Craigslist is the go-to site in the Bay Area for rental listings, so I have always used that as my sole online posting, then some signs at the property, and some around the neighborhood. Only using CL was my mistake!

This time, I added postlets.com, which is a zillow service. They also post to other rental forums.. I've gotten about 1/3 to 1/2 my leads from messages from this service, and perhaps more importantly, they seem to be higher-quality tenants than those generated from Craigslist. (also, more from out of town, which is a dual-edged sword.)

I will use postlets.com from now on also. Free and quick. And more email responses, which I like! I recommend you do it too! Since it posts to Zillow, and they come up top in real-estate & rental related search results, it's a good free bet..

Good luck!
