Another thing to consider is creating an informative and attractive profile. While this might sound obvious to many, the truth is several businesses overlook their profiles, especially uploading vital information such as their phone numbers or office locations.
When optimizing your social media, be sure to include essential information like your office address, contact details, website URL, and a profile photo.

Customers are drawn to reviews, especially positive reviews. In general, several home buyers and business investors admit they’re more likely to invest in real estate businesses with excellent online reviews.
Thanks to social media, the truth about how good or bad your business is, is made known to the entire world. You must use reviews to your advantage.
There are easy ways to display customer reviews, including sharing testimonies on Instagram. You can also retweet your company’s profile, and fill the Facebook review tab with all your 5-star reviews.
Join Local Online Communities For Marketing Your Rental Property
In addition to showcasing your worth in the form of video input and reviews, your real estate business can market itself by participating in local online communities. A great platform for this is Facebook Groups.
With over a billion users, Facebook is a platform bound to provide you with several ideal customers who are looking to rent properties.
In addition, you can also sign your company up with real estate-specific groups. These groups enable potential customers to easily locate you and your marketing of rental properties.
You could also find groups like that over on MeWe, Gab, and other alternative social media networks today.
Perfect Posts for Marketing Your Rental Properties
Be sure to use photos in your social media posts when marketing your rental properties. People love to see pictures and you don’t want to be driving people around to view them.
Include outside and inside photographs of the property including any land or other properties nearby.
If potential renters see what the place looks like first and like it, they are more likely to rent it. Otherwise, you will have a lot of tire kickers and wasted time when marketing your rental properties.

Hi Lisa,
Video marketing seems like a powerful rental property tool for me. Whenever I consider renting a spot for our world travels I need to see clear images. If folks share high def videos, even better. Videos give you a clear idea of what you intend to rent. Clear prospective renters tend to become renters.

Hi Ryan, yes video marketing is pretty hot all over these days! Do you have a separate place (website) for house sits and trades? I always wondered about that Ryan. Thanks for the input and make it a great day and weekend ahead there.
