If you’re listing on Hozuko, this post is for you.
Hello, landlords! 👋🏻
I once rented a place myself, and now I work with landlords. I've seen many listings that just don’t cut it—some are cluttered and poorly presented. Drawing on my personal experience, here are some straightforward, practical tips to help you attract more tenants quickly.
1. Clean Up Your Space
Before taking any photos, tidy up your unit. A messy or dirty space will make renters run away. A little mess is okay, but too much is a big problem. A clean room shows that you care.
When I was renting, I would skip listings that looked messy. By cleaning up your space, you already stand out from those who don’t put in the minimum effort.
2. Use Good Photos
People notice pictures first. With so many listings out there, if your photos are not clear, people will quickly move on. You don’t need to hire a professional photographer. Here are some tips:
- Make sure your pictures are not blurry.
- Use natural light by taking photos during the day.
- Use a steady hand or a tripod so the photos don’t shake.
- Show off the room’s best features and avoid too much clutter.
- Choose your best photo as the display picture. (Some landlords even use a picture of a window instead of the room!)
3. Set the Right Price
Make sure you price your property correctly. Look at other listings in your area and do a little research. If you are not getting any interest, consider adjusting your price.
4. Write a Simple Description
Tell renters the important details—how many rooms, bathrooms, and key features—but keep it short and simple. Let them know what makes your property special.
5. Sell Your Property
Tell renters why your property is great. Is it near food shops? Is it close to the city center? Does it have a big window, sea views, or plenty of storage? Share the good points clearly.
6. End with a Call to Action
Finish your listing by telling renters what to do next. For example, say “Call now to set up a viewing!” or “Contact us today for more details.” This helps guide them to take the next step.
