Could Your Home Be Key?

If you’re looking to rent a room out within your home, you need to make the advert as compelling as possible. This requires a mixture of text and images, along with ensuring that you’re delivering the information your prospective tenant needs and conveying it in a manner that is both professional and welcoming. This can seem a little intimidating, but there are tips and tricks you can rely on to help advertise your spare room to obtain the type of renter you want.  

Think about what you look for when you’re browsing an advert for anything, whether it’s a used car advertisement or an offer at a local beauty salon. If the ad is stilted in any way or doesn’t make sense, you’re immediately put off dealing with that person or company. Badly written ads or ads that don’t give the most useful information fail to adequately sell anything. So, if you’re looking to advertise a room for rent, do it in a way that gives you the best possible chance of getting the tenant you want. You also need to think about the sort of tenant you want. A lot of people write off those with debt right away. We’d advise reading on the Debt To Success System. What is Debt to Success System? You can learn about bank and government scams, and it may make you more sympathetic to those in need.

First, and perhaps most importantly, is to make good use of the facility to upload photos. When you advertise a room without photos you give the impression that something is wrong with the property, and so prospective tenants are likely to look elsewhere. In an age of cheap digital cameras and smartphones, there’s no excuse not to put up an image that really sells the property. Secondly, ensure that you list all the excellent points about the room you want to let. If it’s a large room with a good view, say so. Or, if it benefits from underfloor heating, free house Wi-Fi, or has its own bathroom, make sure you mention it. These could be the factors that get you a great tenant instead of them turning away to the next ad. However, don’t be tempted to lie about the benefits of your room as such lies are quickly discovered; just pick out the good points and sell, sell, sell.   

Standing Out From The Crowd With Free Room Advertising

There are websites, some reputable and some slightly less reliable, that allow you to place ads to advertise a room for rent. Some even offer this service for free. However, because it’s free, many people don’t bother to make their ads sparkle. They list the basics and hope for the best. However, if you spend a little more time on the free room advertising, you could attract the type of tenant you have been searching for. Most people who are looking to rent a room are doing so for a specific purpose. For instance, they may work in a specific area and need somewhere local to live, or they may be a student completing their studies and requiring a room for a certain length of time.

Local connections to transport, local amenities, and other highlights of the area encourage attention when included in your ad. It’s also important that you tailor your ad to the types of people who may be looking for a spare room in your area. If you live near a university, tailor it towards students or, if you have a business park nearby, focus on the business connections. The key to you obtaining your ideal tenant is to make it easy for them to find you. If they’re browsing ads and realise that you tick all their boxes (because you’ve explicitly listed the boxes you do tick), then you’re far more likely to land the perfect tenant.
