- To further enhance the marketing of your property, arrange a photoshoot of the interiors of the property when it is ready for viewings. Your agent can assist you in organizing a photoshoot for when it suits your schedule.
- If your property is furnished, consider letting it as a short-term rental. It provides the consideration for a higher return on investment (ROI).
- Once let, tenants are not allowed to make any changes to the property without getting your permission as the landlord.
- You should consider listing exclusively with one brokerage as it causes the brokerage to invest more of the marketing budget into your property. If you list with Tamlik Real Estate, we can assure you that your rental property is being advertised to the highest standard of marketing
