For less than a dollar a day you can advertise your property to thousands of travelers. Now that's making your money work smarter. And for a limited time you can list your property for NADA, ZILCH, ZERO, NOTHING, FREE, YES, FREE. In the meantime however, just how do you get the most out of your listing. First of all, yes, you can do it. Cut the middle man out. Don't give away your profits to some property management company. You work hard for your money. Keep it all for yourself.
First of all buy this book. Kristine Karpinsky How to rent vacation property by owner.
1. Digital images are a must. Yep, sure, you're a great writer. You write ad copy for a living. Well, in this day and age of little time a picture is indeed worth a thousand words. The more photos the better.
2. Identify 3 major selling points. Do you have a great view, a pool, a spa, a great location? Well, don't be shy. Tell the potential renter what makes your property so great and worth the money.
3. Less is more. Exercise caution with the written word. No one has time to read through hundreds of descriptions of "great" " beautiful" "comfortable" properties. Get to the point.
4. Offer discounted rates for late bookings or longer stays. Be creative
5. Promptly answer each inquiry. Reservations are more likely to be secured with a polite phone call.
6. Give the people what they want, their own personal tour guide. Add links of interest to your listing. Know a great restaurant, or venue, well share the love. Tell em where to go.
If all this sounds just to darn complicated then send us an email and we'll create your listing for you for a nonminal fee. Right Now it's free to list your property with us. Yep, free.
