Back to EpisodesVacancy Checklist: Before You Say Yes to a Showing
Description
This shorty is a checklist episode where we walk through the nine things (plus a bonus tenth) we do every single time between placing a vacancy ad and getting a prospective tenant through the door for a showing. It's also a preview of what's coming in our upcoming course, From Marketing to Move In.
In This Episode:
• Writing an ad detailed enough that prospects can pre-qualify themselves before they call
• Why photos are a form of communication, not decoration (callback to Episode 124)
• The prescreening questions that come before every application or showing
• Income, credit, guarantee standards — and why consistency is what protects you
• Why they keep initial contact on the listing app, then move to text once prescreening's done
• Scheduling showings back to back, and running a first-come, first-qualified process
• The one-hour confirmation text that ended their no-show problem
• What to do (and not do) during the showing itself
• Everything that belongs on your property information flyer
• Bonus: the 24-hour follow-up text that tells you who's actually interested
