Online marketing and advertising are now the standard ways to engage with consumers. Especially in real estate, what you present to your potential clients often dictates how successful you are. But when there are millions of listings<\/a>, landlords, and agents<\/a> out there, how do you and your listings stand out? How do you make sure that renters see your listings, feel good about you and the apartments, and actually reach out?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We at RentHop<\/a> have the answer for you! With years of experience in real estate and online marketing\/advertising, we have figured out what works best when it comes to marketing apartments online. Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n Getting ready to list an apartment? Review our tips!<\/p>\n Everyone knows that image resolution plays a key role, but how you take photos<\/a>, from which angle, and what\u2019s in the photos also have certain impact on how effective your listings are. Make sure that you<\/p>\n When you advertise on RentHop, make sure you check off all amenities that come with the apartment, such as laundry in unit\/building, cats\/dogs allowed, common outdoor space, etc. Renters oftentimes apply filters when searching for apartments, and so if you properly check off amenities<\/a> and features, your listings will definitely stand out in the search!<\/p>\n Aside from engaging renters, this tip really works to your advantage. If you are new to real estate or to the city, it is a good opportunity for you to get to know the neighborhoods you focus on. If you are an experienced agent or landlord, by doing so you show renters how knowledgeable you are, helping them feel comfortable about working with you.<\/p>\n This can also help renters who are not familiar with New York City. If they understand how easy their commute will be, how great their weekend adventures are, etc., they’ll feel better about the unit.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s face the reality — renters don\u2019t spend time reading through the descriptions, no matter how good of a creative writer you are. They focus on the photos, scan through the description and move on to features and amenities. You have around 10-15 seconds to engage the renters with your content, and so keep the description short and informative. Only type out information that needs to be there. For instance, two months free with utilities included, or two mins away from the ferry. The description doesn\u2019t have to be perfect or be like a Tolstoy story; rental listings are not blog posts nor news articles, and if you can explain everything in 50 words, why write 500 words and scare your clients away?<\/p>\n A great unit with an appropriately filled out listing will stand out on its own. As a reminder, the listing you advertise must have accurate information, which includes photos, amenities, and location. Take time to review the RentHop Compliance Terms<\/a> to ensure your listings follow each requirement.<\/p>\n Editor’s Note: We updated this article to enhance readability.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Online marketing and advertising are now the standard ways to engage with consumers.
