sowanome Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm trying to rent out my townhome (3bd, 3bath, priv. driveway and backyard) and I'm just curious where to list it? I'm currently using craigslist and backpage.com. I know that har.com is an option however I'm trying to avoid that awful "Realtor Fee"( I will actually pay someone a small fee to list me on har.com, because I have photographs and can show the property myself)...Any suggestions??

Norhill Realty Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 You can certainly try using Criagslist, but HAR is definately the way to go. On Craigslist, your listing will get burried down at the bottome of the page the minute you list it. HAR will give your property much more visibility.

kylejack Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Bite the bullet and get on HAR. Craigslist is terrible for apartment rentals because there's so many apartment complexes listing their nonsense multiple times per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) I've found my last 3 places on http://www.housingmaps.com/It's a craiglist/google maps mash up.Your craiglist ad might get buried solely on craiglist.. but the craiglist interface isn't the only place your ad will be seen.HAR is great... but craiglist is free... certainly doesnt hurt to try it there. Housingmaps.com has been great for me. Edited November 20, 2009 by Highway6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigslist is terrible for apartment rentals because there's so many apartment complexes listing their nonsense multiple times per day.I know, but I'm trying to exhaust all options before paying someone $1250 to list, but if it gets to Dec. 7th w/o anyone signed for January I may have to go the HAR.com route...Where are all the money hungry realtors that want quick fast cash just to list on web???? (of course not the $1250, but I'd pay $500 for just to have someone list this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston10 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 One other thing is make sure you have a sign out front. For our personal investment properties we have leased half of them by just placing a sign and picking up the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
