Marketing Tips for Rental Properties
Here are some of our proven strategies for filling vacancies.
Advertise on the Right Sites
In Utah, popular rental sites are crucial for reaching a large pool of prospective tenants. We know that using KSL Classifieds is more effective than Craigslist in our local market. We also leverage other specialized platforms to ensure your listing gets maximum visibility. More eyes on a listing lead to more qualified applications.
Use Professional Photos
We can’t stress this enough. Using professional photos is key to getting a vacant unit rented. High-quality photos showcasing the interior, exterior, and outdoor spaces are essential. Consider adding a virtual tour as a bonus.
Be Detailed
Tenants want to know what amenities are included. Your listing should be comprehensive, detailing everything from parking and lawn care to utilities and square footage. Our team of professional property managers creates compelling descriptions that highlight the benefits of your property, encouraging people to schedule a tour and sign a lease.
Keep it Clean and Well-Maintained
We perform periodic site inspections and facilitate necessary cleaning and maintenance repairs between tenants. Professional, detail-oriented cleaning makes a huge difference. Many of our tenants have commented that a spotless kitchen and bathroom sealed the deal for them.
Competitive Pricing
We provide expert advice on pricing your rental competitively to attract tenants quickly while still meeting your bottom line. The right price ensures your rental property isn’t vacant for long. Check out our free rental analysis to help you price your property effectively.
Flexible Leasing Options
For long-term rentals, offering flexible leasing options can be a competitive advantage. This might include a six-month lease with the option to renew, or a discount for leases longer than 12 months. We can help you determine the most responsible options for qualified tenants.
Spring for the Upgrades
To stay competitive, we recommend making targeted upgrades. Small changes like LED lighting or new hardware can have a big impact. Larger upgrades, such as new flooring, energy-efficient appliances, or new landscaping, can significantly increase your property’s value and appeal.

- Luxury vinyl flooring
- Fresh paint
- Energy-Star certified appliances
- Waterwise landscaping
- New windows and exterior doors
