Vacancy turn around

We have been very fortunate to have few vacancies, but because of that we don't really have a set procedure for getting them turned around and re-rented.
Ex.
Tenant notifies us at the beginning of the month that she will be moving at the end of feb. (at end of lease term)
-Occasionally we have tried to start showing the property with the tenants cooperation, and working around their schedule. I don't enjoy this at all because I find it much more difficult to work around the tenants schedule, some people don't feel comfortable looking at a house with another persons belongings laying around, and I have even had the current tenants there sometimes as we walk the new potential tenant through.
-If we don't do it this way we are probably going to end up with a month of vacancy because we won't be able to show the unit until the beginning of march and hopefully will find somebody that can move in April 1st.

Just wondering what others do in this situation?

Thanks

-SR
