Your ability to make money from a rental property depends on keeping that property occupied. If you don’t have tenants paying rent on your units, you are losing value. Although you could handle the work of finding renters yourself, you could also delegate this process to a real estate broker to make things easier.
In this article, our team at Thornburg & Associates, Inc. will go over a few reasons why we recommend using a real estate broker to find renters and fill vacancies.
- Real estate brokers handle all marketing tasks. Our team has extensive experience in marketing rental properties to prospective tenants. We will create attractive property listings and post them in all the places where interested parties are most likely to see them.
- Real estate brokers will host showings. A great real estate broker can make your life easier by scheduling and running showings for interested parties. This way, you won’t have to handle the showing process by yourself and try to readjust your schedule. Instead, you can go about your normal routine while we take care of everything.
- Real estate brokers draft leases. Another key benefit of hiring a real estate broker is that we’ll make it easy to fill your rental units is by drafting the lease agreements for you. Writing a lease agreement is complicated, so it’s best to leave this task to those with experience in the industry. We have a general agreement we use, and we can work with you to make any adjustments you might require.
