TIP OF THE WEEK for the week of May 14, 2012CREATIVE FOR RENT STRATEGIES PART 3
9. You can get reasonably priced signs that can be put in the yard or in the window from Vistaprint.com. 10. We put up aluminum real estate signs for the front yard and brochure boxes where we put single page 4/c with pictures, list of amenities, price, etc. We get a lot of calls from them. 11. On each side of the front bay window of my multi-units I have large signs permanently mounted about 10' above the sidewalk. They say apartments for rent and have my business number. I am constantly getting calls for people looking for units. If I have something empty either there or at another location, I talk to them about it. If I don't have anything coming up soon I give them the names of some of my landlord friends who might have something. Since these signs are on busy streets, I get more calls then I can handle. 12. Whenever I have a vacancy or know one is coming up, I send a notice to all of my nearby tenants reminding them of my $100.00 gift card for any referral that applies, is accepted & actually moves into a unit.
