Create your rental listing with iManageRent
There are plenty of listing services in the rental market place. Most are very different but they all have one thing in common: tenants looking to rent and live in their dream home.
To maximize exposure landlords and property managers should post on to multiple rental platforms (listing sites). Hence, the more sites the more visibility and the more interested prospects. However, listing on multiple sites can be very time consuming and picking one or two sites that you think will be effective is a crapshoot.
Just imagine if you decide to list on 10 different sites: Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist, Apartments.com, Livelovely, Rentpath, Apartmentlist, Rentjungle and etc… You have to signup on each service individually and get verified before you can start listing. Then the repetitive task of inputting your rental information and uploading photos begins. And the arduous task of proof reading never ends. Thirty minutes can pass by very quickly before your done on one site. That’s five hours for ten sites, yikes!!! There must be a faster and more accurate way to accomplish this task.
This is where iManageRent saves the day! Using this service allows you to create a listing that works and post automatically on to more than 20 sites! With its’ comprehensive listing wizard you will be guided to enter all pertinent information to the last detail. You will have the added value and the confidence that you created your marketing campaign in a proper way because the system will help minimize mistakes. Furthermore, based on a quick analysis of the entered information our recommendation for “Best Marketing Practices” will be suggested to you automatically.
List everywhere and control on iManageRent
One of iManageRent’s greatest features is the ability to monitor the status of your listings.
