Advertising rental on Zillow without appointment option possible?

Dylan Mitchell

I've followed discussions on biggerpockets and it's been a good resource. I saw some of you use ZIllow and that it also lists to Trulia and HotPads. On Zillow is there any way to set it up so they can just e-mail us their info vs setting an appointment time? We like to phone screen tenants before setting an appointment so we don't waste anyone's time if they won't meet our credit and income guidelines or they need specific features the property doesn't have.  With Craiglist we ask folks to send us their phone number, we call them and do a phone screen, then if they qualify and are interested we set a time to show. We still have some odd or unqualified folks get to the showing stage but our background/ credit/ income verification/ reference checks catch the ones that try to hide something. As a workaround, we just call the Zillow folks and do the phone screen and set a showing as needed but would prefer they just send us their number.
