What are the questions you’re always being asked about your services? Answer them here! Show your clients that you hear them.
This is not only a great way to inform people, but a way to let them know you value their questions.
The best way to go about this is to compile a list of five or ten of your most frequently asked questions and answer them on video. Be yourself and make sure your answers are clear!

5. Property Listing
If you have property listings up on your website, that’s great! But why aren’t people contacting you to visit it?
You put a lot of work in your properties, and if nobody comes to see them then nobody is renting them out.
Property listing videos allow potential renters see the full experience of the property before visiting it.
A property listing video needs to consist of a tour of the property while discussing all its amenities. Show off all the best things your property has to offer.
Start the virtual tour at the front of the property and walk through all the rooms, pointing out all the best features of each room.
Take your time, but also make sure the video isn’t too long. You want to make sure people watch until the end of the video.
Not only will renters **** these videos, but owners will as well.
Owners want to see that you are utilizing the latest technology to showcase their properties and find great tenants.
6. Neighborhood
A neighborhood video explores the area the rental property is in. It allows you to show off the neighborhood and discuss everything a potential tenant could enjoy.
Why is this important? Many potential tenants know what neighborhood they want to rent in and are looking for more information about the area.
After watching your video about the neighborhood, they will likely check out what listings you have available!
Owners also **** to see that you are familiar with the neighborhoods you provide your property management services in.
Showing off the neighborhood the property is in can be just as important as showing off the property itself. Let people know what they can do in that area, where the best amenities are, and how close they are to necessities.
You don’t want to leave neighborhood videos off your roster! They are a huge boost to property marketing.
