Listing A Property For The First Time

[Guevara M.]

I'm getting ready to list my rental property within the week on sites like Craigslist, Zillow, Trulia, Etc... How much info should I be including in the ad? I'd like to keep it as simple as possible, if that's even possible. Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated.

I'd make sure you cover some of the basics, such as the following:

• Number of bedrooms
• Number of bathrooms
• Square footage
• Cost of rent
• Pet policy
• Cost of deposits
• Date available
• Location

If you leave out basic info, you can wind up wasting time with interested parties who are not actually interested once they find out it doesn't have the xyz they actually need. If you use a platform that lets you create one property listing and syndicate it out across numerous channels, you can focus on creating one killer ad and then you can reuse it every time the property is vacant. That will save you tons of time and hassle!

Be sure to include high-quality photos too! Pictures are worth more than a thousand words when it comes to rental listings.

Hope that helps!
