You have just put your apartment up for rent and you want to make it profitable as quickly as possible? It’s normal to want to make the most of your real estate assets. However, doing things quickly and well is not always easy. You need cash quickly and you would like to find a reliable tenant (who does not deteriorate and who pays his rents on time…).
Here are some tips for renting an apartment quickly (without living in Paris, otherwise it would be too easy…).
Fashion comes straight from the Anglo-Saxons and has a little name, “Home Stagging”. The basic idea is to offer an apartment for rent that is as neutral as possible to allow future tenants to easily imagine themselves in this space. “Home stagging” does not necessarily require major work, it will suffice to remove all personal objects, photographs, images, to apply a small coat of white paint… in short, to depersonalize the premises as much as possible… Plus the house is neutral, the more it will attract the attention of potential tenants , because they will be able to project themselves into this new space to build their new nest.
If you decide to rent a furnished apartment, at least make sure that the condition of the furniture is correct. don’t forget the details, otherwise you will face criticism on comments and social networks (if you want to rent it by the week). Examine the blinds, the locks, the taps… Don’t hesitate to check that the appliances are working normally before handing over the keys to the agency. A heritage in good condition will allow you to rent quickly and well.
The apartment is ready, it is now necessary to publicize your advertisement. Write a description of your property as complete as possible, emphasizing the aspects which make it unique or its original points. Another important aspect when renting an apartment are the photographs you will post. Do a photo shoot of each space in the house, take several images from different angles and check that you have enough light.
Do not hesitate to ask a professional photographer if you do not know how to take a picture. It will cost you about fifty euros, but you will have beautiful photos to offer to future tenants.
It is good to get help when looking to rent an apartment. Whether through a real estate agency or through a rental management application like Wizi.io. The latter puts you in touch with their database of tenants and guarantees their solvency. Indeed, the payment of rents are guaranteed by AXA. Finally, wizi.io allows you to chat directly with your tenant in the event of a problem.
A little interview prep never hurt anyone. Try to arrive a little early for interviews with your tenants so that you can sweep the floor, ventilate the room a little or turn on the heating. This will put the tenants at ease, which can help you close the sale as quickly as possible.
