Here are five ways to ensure your rental tours and open houses are successful:

Work with your current residents on scheduling and keeping the property tidy.

Clean and prepare the property ahead of your showing.

Have rental application forms and flyers to give to prospective renters.

Host an open house as an alternative to individual tours, or limit showing times. Include open house details in your listing.

Be proactive by making needed repairs ahead of time or by informing potential renters about issues that need attention.

Being well-prepared for your showings will help you find a great tenant faster.
