Showing your\u00a0<\/span>rental property\u00a0to prospective tenants is perhaps the most important step in the marketing process. They\u2019ve seen your listing, they\u2019ve asked some early questions, and they\u2019re ready to walk through the property and try to imagine themselves living there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This is the moment that you want to inspire these prospective tenants. You want them to feel like they could move right in.<\/p>

Here are some home showing tips that will help you <\/span>get your property rented right away\u00a0for\u00a0<\/span>high rents\u00a0to fantastic residents.\u00a0
<\/span><\/p>

Make Sure Everything Works\u00a0<\/h4>

Don\u2019t bother showing a property that still needs an appliance installed or has a lot of old carpet that needs to be torn up. Everything needs to work the way it should before you allow tenants to come through.\u00a0<\/p>

Making promises that you\u2019ll fix something does not carry a lot of weight with good residents. Have the home move-in ready before you begin scheduling showings.\u00a0<\/p>

Create Clean, Inviting Curb Appeal<\/h4>

When you\u2019re <\/span>renting out a home, you want to make sure the outside of the property looks attractive and welcoming. Mow the lawn. Clear away any debris and clutter from the yard. Decide whether the building needs some power washing or window cleaning.\u00a0<\/p>

Landscaping will ideally look fantastic, but not too complicated. You don\u2019t want your potential tenants to worry that they\u2019ll have to spend a lot of time maintaining a yard. Wipe down the front door, hang a pretty wreath or lay out a welcome mat. The first impression means a lot.<\/p>

Stage and Clean the Property\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>

Cleaning your home before you show it is a big requirement. Well-qualified tenants are not likely to feel good about a home that\u2019s dirty, dusty, or littered with someone else\u2019s belongings. Make sure it\u2019s completely cleared out of all furniture and personal possessions, unless you\u2019re planning to stage the home.\u00a0<\/p>

If you invest in staging your rental property, keep it minimal and conventional. The basic pieces of furniture will do, and a few decorative elements like bookshelves and lamps. Don\u2019t let the home look cluttered or over-decorated.\u00a0<\/p>

Let There be Light\u00a0<\/h4>

Quality tenants will be thinking about a property\u2019s aesthetics.\u00a0<\/p>

Open the windows to let in as much natural light as possible. Turn on the lights in each room, too. Tenants don\u2019t want to walk around in the dark or open closets where they can\u2019t see how much space is inside. Use all the lights.<\/p>

On the exterior of the property, make sure outside lights are on, even in the daylight.\u00a0<\/p>

Prepare Your Qualifying Rental Criteria<\/h4><\/div>
Part of marketing and showing your home is ensuring your prospective tenants have all the information they need to make a decision about applying.\u00a0<\/div>\"Have<\/div><\/div>

So, ask a few pre-screening questions. You might discuss income, when they\u2019re planning to move, and why they\u2019re leaving their current home. When they come to see the property, provide your full rental criteria so they know exactly what is necessary in order to be approved for the place. This might include income and credit standards, a history of no evictions, and no record of criminal convictions. By providing your rental criteria at the showing, you\u2019re keeping your\u00a0<\/span>screening process\u00a0consistent and discouraging anyone who won\u2019t qualify from applying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s understandable. With the online rental sites and social media platforms available, it\u2019s easier than ever to market and advertise a rental home. But, it\u2019s also crowded. Tenants are scrolling through listing after listing, and it can be difficult to stand out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8933,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6],"tags":[9,12,13],"class_list":["post-8928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-houses","category-property","tag-architecture","tag-design","tag-interior"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8928"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8928\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8934,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8928\/revisions\/8934"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myaiostagingweb.com\/sunworldgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
