Hello and welcome to my blog. 2008 is starting off great! New year but same old tune. All of my clients are gonig through the same process. Looking on Craigslist, Realtor.com and other sources trying to find a rental. According to my latest survey nearly 90% of you are taking 3-4 weeks or longer to find a suitable rental. I've said it before and I'll say it again and again. THERE IS A FAR BETTER WAY!!!
On my website I say Computers have no experience. They are dumb and only show you what you search for. Here are some facts. What "most" people set out to find does not exist! True, you have an idea or a picture in your head but does it truly exist for your budget? Probably not. With someone like myself with 23 years of experience I already know that you will most likely rent something you're not even thinking about.
Eveyone always asked me....Eddie, is there an online rental search website that works. The anwer is YES and it's not available to the public. My computer system literraly blows anything you have access to away. I have the latest listings and I can organize the information in seconds. Try this now. Go to Craigslist or Realtor.com and organize the list by type of property or by price or by DOM or days on the market. It is not possible. The most important number to me is days on the market.
Do you know how many days the avg good rental takes to rent?..................Answer: 14
When you look at the online ads do you know if the rental has been sitting on the market for days? Weeks? Months? No you don't. So you read this great ad written by an overpriced for rent by owner and you get there and your jaw hits the ground and your thinking to yourself, did I just walk into the wrong place? Trust me folks, they are out there and in big numbers.
Anyway, one more reminder to watch out for the for rent by owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Many are going through foreclosure.
If you want a great service! Call me for your next rental! Thanks! Eddie
