There are dozens of websites online where you can list vacancies for your rentals. Where you list your website is just as important as how you list your website. Not every site will have the same ROI or will be perused by the ideal renters. To help you fill your vacancies, here are the top four websites to advertise your rentals:

Apartment Guide

Apartment Guide was the standard before the internet and remains the standard today. This is for good reason. It has massive brand recognition, great services, and a variety of tools for both listing companies and browsers. As a property manager, you can list high resolution photography, video tours, and 360° views so you can really show off your listings. Apartment guide is easy to search and even has apps for both Apple and Android devices.  

Rent.com

Rent.com is as comprehensive as Apartment Guide and offers the same listing features. However, what sets Rent.com apart from other listing sites is there are real time reviews from existing renters. This is a great feature because it allows your community members to talk about what they love and gives you credibility with potential rents. Rent.com also has apps for both Apple and Android devices so people can easily check out your rentals on the go.

Zillow

Zillow is a full service real estate listing website. Though often overlooked as a place only potential homeowners check, Zillow has 32 million rental visitors every month. That is an impressive audience for your listing. Also, by listing with Zillow if a potential homeowner cannot find what they are looking for in the area, they can easily switch modes and check out potential rentals. So with Zillow you have the potential to reach even more possible renters.

Hotpads

Hotpads is a truly unique listing website. Unlike other listing websites, potential renters don’t have to scroll through list after list of properties. Instead, renters search an interactive map with filtered results that include everything from student housing to pet-friendly to room for rent. Hotpads turns looking for a new rental into a lifestyle choice. So it is the perfect website to highlight all the features and amenities that make your rental truly unique.

If you list on these four websites, you’ll be sure to see an increase in interest in your property. If you are ready to put a new listing up, make sure to check out some of our tips at Occupancy Solutions on our blog on how to make your listing really standout!
