Rental Listing Tips
We know you're excited to ditch your space, but taking the time to make a proper listing can help you ditch it faster. Here are some tips to follow for a great listing:
- Use a title that is short and descriptive. If you are listing a 3 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn with lots of windows, you can say it all with "Sunnny 3 bedroom in Williamsburg".
- When writing your details, give only the information that is needed. Prospective tenants are looking through lots of listings, so make it easy for them by concisely summing up the highlights of your space.
- Take your pictures with good lighting. Look over your photos first to ensure they are well lit and sharp. If you used a cell phone to take them, you can email them to yourself and open them on your computer before uploading them.
- Add a video tour! Hold your phone horizontally and walk around the space while describing your surroundings. Upload this to a video sharing site like Youtube and embed it into your listing. Details of how it's done can be found here.
- Respond to inquiries promptly and clearly. Be friendly, and arrange a showing of your space. If you don't hear back from them, follow up!
- Use social networking and word of mouth to get the word out about your space! You can always send them to your Ditchthespace.com listing to video your pictures and videos.
