As a Realtor, it’s easy to have a "me-vs.-the-world" mentality. You’re always counting on yourself to get things done the right way, whether it be verifying your tenants, scheduling showings, or keeping in touch with your clients.
We here at RentSpree are always striving to make things easier for real estate agents, and we’ve found some of the best tools to simplify the lives of Realtors.
Whether you’re looking to buy, rent or sell, finding the right agent is almost as important as finding the right property or buyer. A good agent will go the extra mile to save you time, whether it requires high effort, like marketing your property, or low effort, like using an online rental application.
As April has come and gone, that only means one thing: It’s time for RentSpree’s featured agents of the month!
This month we have two agents who have both demonstrated a commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. Without further ado, here are our featured agents of the month.
As the school year draws to a close, many students are beginning to look for a place to live either for the summer or for the next school year. Because of their temporary nature, rental properties are the norm for college students. While these college kids may get a bad rap, they deserve an equal opportunity to find housing.
What all of its complexities and nuances, the real estate market can sometimes be tough to understand. However, a basic knowledge of the current landscape acts like night-vision goggles in the dark - allowing you to see which tools to use and markets to target for maximum business.
As a real estate agent, your reputation is everything. Whether it’s with your clients or peers, a good reputation can lead to additional business opportunities, while a bad one can drag you down.
Some tasks will have instant effects, like showing off your happy customers on social media, while others, like running a thorough tenant verification before referring a renter to a landlord, might take longer to impact your reputation.
Between millions of listings, agents, and applications, renting a property can be a daunting task. If you don’t follow a process, or if you are new to the rental landscape, you can easily get lost and overwhelmed. However, simple things like doing a little research or using an online rental application with tenant verification built-in can make finding a new apartment significantly easier.
Many Realtors will tell you that meeting an applicant in person is all they need to verify their tenants. While an in-depth conversation can give you an idea of someone’s personality, it probably isn’t enough to get to know them as a renter.
You’re an established professional in the real estate industry. You have been successful for years, and scoff at the notion of social media. What could you possibly get out of the realm of cat videos and internet trolls?
While the social media atmosphere can often be adolescent and unprofessional at times, it can be quite helpful for any real estate agent of any age.
The Social Security Number: A nine-digit identification code unique to every citizen, permanent resident, and temporary working resident in America. These nine numbers are about as personal as it gets and we’re told to never share it with anyone.
When you are looking to rent an apartment, chances are you will either go through a property management company or a real estate agent. But what are the differences between the two? What benefits do each provide? Because they work in similar fields and often perform similar tasks (e.g. tenant verification and collecting online rental applications), it is easy to get a property management group confused with Realtors.
