2 Game Changing Tips on Renting Your Property Faster and for More Money
The best way to get your property rented out as soon as possible for the highest price is to show it off! It would be best if you attracted the attention of your potential tenants, and the best way of doing that is by showing them what a lovely home you have to offer. There are two most valuable ways in which you can do that, and this article will go in-depth about them both, so here we go.
Tip #1: Images!
Like anything to do with media, people are always attracted to the better-looking images. Think about when you book a hotel or a holiday. You still browse through pictures, don't you? Then, after checking, you will more likely choose the hotel or holiday with the best visual representation. Now think about the properties you have seen in advertisements. Have you ever seen a property photo that is supposedly marketing the property, and it’s a grainy, dark picture of a toilet? Compare that to a professional bright, wide-angle photo, and on the same property with those two different pictures I guarantee that you are going to stir up more interest with a professional photograph. Trust me it is worth spending a couple hundred dollars either for a proper camera lens for your phone or hire a professional.
Tip #2: Staging Your Property
My second tip is something I tell every seller and landlord. You need to stage your property. Staging does several things for a prospective buyer or renter.
Firstly, it helps your potential buyer or renter mentally visualize where they would like their furniture to be placed. Half the battle when choosing somewhere to live is making sure you have enough space for your furniture to live. So, if you strategically place furnishings in fitting, flattering places, it will help give tenants an idea of how to lay out their furniture.
Secondly, it just looks better when you’re showing the property. Now you can hire a professional stager, and I’d be happy to refer a great one, but you can even use your furniture or take pictures before the tenant moves out and use their furniture. You can also make areas in your house look more prominent if you carefully place your furnishings in the correct places. The point is to be more conscious of the little things when marketing your properties to help get people interested— for more tips or references on whom to use for pictures or staging, feel free to reach out to me anytime.
