Guidance on filling first vacancy

I just rehabbed one of my 2 properties that I manage.  I inherited tenants for both so this is my first time filling a vacancy.  I decided to use RentRedi for management.  I was able to easily get my listing out.  I'm getting a lot of queries (probably 95%) from Zillow.  I quickly reply with a link to instructions on how to fill out the pre-qualification form.  Of the 29 queries, 6 have filled out the pre-qualification form.  I've accepted 3 and shown 3.  That has happened in only 6 days.. Does that seem like a normal response rate?  Part of me feels like that is the purpose of the pre-qualification form--to deter them from a showing since, based on the questions (income, record, pets, etc), they should know whether they're going to be approved.  But part of me is wondering if I should reach out more.  I've started to also text them in case things are getting lost in spam folder.  I believe the property is reasonably priced and is all brand new inside.  Your thoughts?
