New Tools for a New Market – Renting in Vancouver.

The rental climate in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland is changing. Across the country vacancy rates were up to an average of 2.7% at the start of 2005 - a significant increase from previous years. One of the largest contributors to this is the growing buyers market; with more people investing in a home the rental market is feeling the affects.

This has created a renter’s market, Landlords have to look for new and creative ways to promote their property and entice potential tenants.

Renthome.ca now provides a solution. By providing Landlords with dynamic listings that showcase their property with photographs, detailed descriptions, maps, community links, and highlighting key features of the available space they can attract potential tenants that have been fully introduced to the property. This allows for targeted marketing and reduces the number of “walk-aways” – potential tenants that book an appointment and leave after seeing the exterior or after finding the interior to not be what they were expecting.

The second challenge facing Landords is the growing demands on everyone’s time and finding a way to connect with potential tenants faster. www.renthome.ca now offers a free tenant matching program that allows a potential tenant to simply tell us where they are looking, any specific needs they have (number of bedrooms etc), and their preferred moving date. Once we receive this we forward them the listings that best match their requirements with the contact information for the Landlords or Property Management company.

By creating an environment that addresses the needs of all parties the Landlord / Tenant relationship is started quicker and easier with less time and expense then traditional methods.

We are now accepting new listings in Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and across the country to introduce to the thousands of visitors we have looking for apartments, houses, suites, and other rental accommodations.
