2. Utilize Social MediaFacebook and Instagram are great advertising mediums if they are used properly. Landlords forget to update the images and all pictures often clutter the space. A schedule for adding new photos and renewing the old ones can keep the platform fresh.
Twitter can reach out to many respective tenants in San Diego. The best way to arouse curiosity with Twitter is to place an image of a recent property in the tweet. A link to the available property brings traffic.
Do not forget Yelp. Having an account enables satisfied tenants to post good reviews on one of the best consumer boards on the Internet. It provides an opportunity also for the public to see how a landlord responds to a given complaint.
3. Use Incentives
Existing tenants make the best leads. They tell friends and family about vacant apartments and share other information, as well. A landlord can persuade tenants to spread the word if a few incentives are used. It can be a month of free rent for every new tenant referral or help with utilities. Any costs incurred are outweighed by the benefit of a new tenant signing a lease.
4. Maintain the Property
A prospect will eventually visit the vacant apartment and will need to be impressed. A fresh coat of paint helps, and all needed repair work makes the place attractive. Any improvements to the property can also catch the eye of a possible tenant.
The above are in addition to traditional forms of marketing, which should be included in an effort to fill rental vacancies. Landlords don’t always have the time or the expertise to conduct a proactive marketing campaign and will ordinarily rely on property management companies in San Diego to do the work. Not every property manager, however, can do the work. It is important that a landlord select the right third-party and Alta Vista Properties is a property management company in San Diego with a reputation for superior client service.
