Return missed calls when they don't leave a voicemail?

[Sam L.]

Do you bother to return missed calls from prospective tenants when they don't leave a message/voicemail? I just recently listed a property and have dozens of calls thus far and only roughly 10% left messages. I feel like if a someone was really interested in the property they'd leave a voicemail and the rest are tire kickers. Am I missing out by not calling them back or saving myself time?

Note: All these calls are from a for rent sign posted outside the property. My online listings have a questionnaire to weed out tire kickers.

Thanks!

My outgoing message is clear that if the caller would like a call back, they should leave a message with their name, number, and reason for calling. No voicemail = no call back. If they can’t follow those simple instructions, don’t want them as a tenant.
