e=leasing advice on the RENTAL Market


Is renting a home the new american dream?

Competition is heating up as more Americans choose to rent instead of buy.

And that increase in demand is driving up rent prices in some markets.

Our goal at e=leasing is to help renters and owners, get the best lease and the best tenants.

We do not charge anyone with upfront FEES.

Here are some tips for getting the best deals.

Work rental websites. Looking for an apartment in a large rental community? Start with Rent.com, a site where you can analyze and compare rent prices. But if you're looking for a unit owned by a smaller apartment company or a condo unit being leased by the owner, start out on Craigslist.org.

We have a whole campaign in place and it works for us and our clients. .

HotPads.com features rental and for-sale home listings from 400 partners, including multiple-listing services and brokerage companies. Cazoodle.com pulls listings from nearly 10,000 websites, including newspaper classifieds, online forums and individual property management sites.

e=leasing uses this weekly.

Spread the word. Sometimes you can get into a great apartment through word of mouth before it hits the market. We at e=leasing are costantly looking for owners who wish to lease their homes early.

Which leads to this point, Consider a single-family home.

Homeowners may be renting out their condos and houses because they're having difficulty selling them in this market.These properties are often priced lower than other rentals, partly because they may not come with the same level of amenities and owners may be more motivated to get their places rented.

Look beyond rentals. With the housing market still weak, we ask home sellers if they'd be willing to rent instead. Many are.

WHY? Just call me to discuss.

Compare rents. After finding a place you're interested in, look for comparable rentals to make sure its rent price is competitive. We research prices to shows how rentals compare with others in the area.

Flaunt good credit. If you have good credit, we use it at e=leasing to help you stand out against other possible renters.

We package our tenants, to present it to owners. We compared how other realtors, and leasing services package their tenats and we are heads and shoulders above the rest.

Owners, the same formula, I see mls listings for beautiful homes to lease and many have zero pictures or maybe 3 or 4 at the most, and of course NO video.

What a shame, and the consumer has not asked their agent for a look at the marketing, because they have none.

Tenants and owners who are interested in leasing their homes are often looked upon as a pain by most realtors and some services.

Well we stopped that thinking when we created e=leasing some time ago.

Be aware and ask questions, use a service that is going to work for you, whether you are a tenant searching for a lease or an owner looking for a competent agent to serve you.

ASK QUESTIONS, after all at e=leasing, we work for you.
