9) Managing the showing of your property
Property showings done with potential tenants without proper planning is like going for a job interview without preparation.Underestimating Cleaning Up: It may seem obvious, but scheduling showings done with potential tenant to see an unkempt house is like going on a job interview without being suitably attired. How can the employer notice your fantastic talents and skills if they're hidden underneath a sloppy exterior?
If you can't take the time to have a house tided up before the showing, the potential tenant will quickly move on to the next home on their list
Lingering During Showings: Yes, we all want a 1st hand feel of the potential tenant, but hanging around during the showing is not a good idea. Landlords who tend to linger during showings often make the potential tenant uncomfortable.
The family intending to rent would like to have time to explore the home at their own pace and without feeling any pressure.
For fully furnished apartments, they want to sit on the bed, sofa, use the toilet. However, the chances of them doing that with the landlord present are unlikely.
If you have hired a professional agency, you can get all the details of the showing from your agent. That's what you're paying your agent to do. Let them do their job. Make sure that your agent has all the advantages and any additional features that make this home standout to rent.
