3 Helpful Tips to Get Your Edmonds Home Rent Ready – Property Management Education

Creating Fantastic Curb Appeal

Often, tenants will call about a property after driving by the home. They want to make sure they like the way it looks before they schedule a showing appointment. So, you have the one opportunity to create a great first impression. We recommend that you mow the lawn and cut back the hedges. Trim the bushes and make sure the front of the house looks clean and attractive. Most importantly, install some bark or gravel in the flower beds. This will really make the place pop and will get the attention of high-quality tenants.

Interior Cleaning

Once the exterior looks appealing, it’s time to move onto the interior of the home. At the very minimum, make sure you have a professional carpet cleaning and a maid service. This will set a standard. Imagine checking into a hotel. You want to know the room has been professionally cleaned, and you look for attention to detail - right down to the mint on your pillow. Create a similarly inviting environment in your rental property.

Professional Photos

A lot of home rental agencies will use professional photographers to take pictures of their listing. You should do the same. After you’ve invested all this time and money in getting the property ready for the rental market, it makes sense to spend a few dollars more to have outstanding photos taken of the home. These can be used in your online advertisements, and they will improve the reach and the results of your marketing.

These are three important things to remember when you’re preparing your property for the rental market. If you have any questions about Edmonds property management, please contact us at Joseph Property Management.
