Does anyone have advice for marketing high-end long-term rentals?

Howdy!

I am an intern currently working for a property management firm in the DFW area and I have been seeing a trend that people are much more reluctant to rent high-end homes. Even for very nice homes that are in high demand, we have received few applications. We have done many showings with few to no follow-ups for each, and it seems like people don't want to pay for premium housing at this time. I am curious to know if this is just a market trend or if other real estate professionals are experiencing similar difficulties.

How are you marketing your properties and is it working? What have you tried, what have you changed, and what has worked? What am I missing? How can I go the extra mile or think outside the box to get these homes rented?
