How Long Will It Take To Rent My Home?

How We Rent Homes Quickly — Without Sacrificing Quality

Our goal is to have your home rented within 30–45 days (in today's slower market conditions), and in many cases, we do even better. While we could rent most homes in the first week, our obsessive attention to tenant quality and our proven method of balancing vacancy with the highest possible rate have shown that this timeframe makes the most financial sense.

For owners who want to minimize vacancy even further, we have strategies for that too — typically involving a more aggressive rental rate. As with all investments, you can’t have your cake and eat it too, but there are clear benefits to either approach.

The secret to renting your home fast comes down to four key components:

1. Property Condition

First impressions matter. We want every property in excellent showing condition before the first prospective resident steps inside. That means completing minor repairs and ensuring the home looks and feels well cared for.

We never recommend costly changes unless they’re critically necessary. Every suggestion is designed with return on investment in mind. Most of our advice on repairs or updates pays for itself within 12 months — and we always prioritize long-lasting improvements over cosmetic quick fixes.

When extensive work is needed, we can often structure a minimum cash flow plan, allowing you to improve the property’s condition and value while maintaining steady income.

Ultimately, our speed depends on homeowners promptly approving or completing recommended work so we can get the home ready, listed, and generating income.

2. Presentation & Marketing

We build spectacular listing presentations — professional photography, detailed descriptions, and emotionally engaging copy that connects. Our passion for marketing is evident the moment you browse our active rentals.

Because we’re a medium-sized but fast-growing company, we typically have relatively few active listings, which allows us to give each one exceptional focus. The result? Our homes move quickly, and our marketing efficiency is unmatched.

Most competitors rely on a single basic data feed that syndicates to the major sites — and call it a day. We don’t stop there. We utilize:

• Multiple data feeds and custom syndication to hundreds of sites

• Optimized profiles across large and small platforms for credibility

• Creative manual promotion that floods the web with your listing

• Advanced marketing techniques built from years as a professional marketing agency

Simply posting a listing isn’t enough. We know how to convert views into inquiries and inquiries into showings — a step most managers overlook entirely.

3. Pricing Strategy

Determining rent is both an art and a science. Too high, and your property sits vacant. Too low, and you leave money on the table.

We’ll provide a realistic rental estimate based on nearby comparable homes. From there, we usually start 10–15% above the expected rate and systematically reduce by about $50 every 7–10 days until it rents.

This approach lets us capture top dollar when possible — while avoiding long vacancies. Remember, the average homeowner pays $55 per day to carry a vacant property.

We constantly adjust based on real-time feedback and market seasonality, ensuring you stay perfectly positioned.

4. Ease of Showing

Accessibility is crucial. Homes that are occupied receive about 60% fewer showings, and roughly 30% of scheduled showings result in no-shows.

Tenants today have options — and little patience. A difficult or inflexible showing process can instantly reduce your audience.

Whenever possible, we make showings fast, easy, and flexible, ensuring potential residents can view your property with minimal friction. This dramatically increases exposure and reduces vacancy time.

The Bottom Line

Our experience has proven that successful rentals are built on four pillars — great condition, outstanding presentation, intelligent pricing, and effortless access.

Follow that formula, and your home won’t just rent quickly — it will rent profitably and sustainably to the right resident.
