Local MLS Exposure
Your property is entered into the appropriate MLS serving its location, where participating agents search for rentals for their clients.
Your rental is entered into the same local MLS used by participating real estate agents and distributed to major real estate websites, giving your property broad exposure while you remain in control of tenant screening, lease terms and negotiations.
Put your property where agents and relocating tenants are already searching—and let participating agents help bring prepared prospective tenants to you.
Your property is entered into the appropriate MLS serving its location, where participating agents search for rentals for their clients.
Your MLS listing is distributed to participating sites such as Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com and local and national brokerage websites.
A tenant's agent may coordinate the appointment, obtain access through the showing service and show the property to the prospective tenant, reducing the number of showings you must conduct personally.
Agents may discuss a prospective tenant's needs, timing and general qualifications before arranging a showing, helping reduce time spent responding to people who may not be ready to rent.
A tenant's agent may help the prospective renter prepare an application or lease proposal and communicate questions, proposed terms and supporting information to you.
Showing requests and inquiries are delivered or forwarded directly to you, allowing you to respond promptly and manage the rental yourself.
You establish lawful rental criteria, review applications, conduct screening and decide which applicant best meets your requirements.
The tenant's agent represents the tenant—not you. You retain control of screening, approval, lease terms and the final decision about who rents your property.
The rental listing fee is $295. No additional administration fee is due when the property is leased. You manage showings, screening, lease terms and negotiations directly, with seven-day client support and broker availability when needed.
People relocating to a new area or renting on a limited schedule often work with an agent to locate suitable properties and coordinate showings. MLS exposure allows participating agents to find your rental when it matches a client's needs.
You decide what compensation, if any, to offer a tenant's agent. If a prospective tenant comes to you without an agent, you may work with that person directly and no tenant-agent compensation is owed unless you have separately agreed otherwise.
By listing your home for rent in the MLS, you will be opening up a world previously unknown to rental owners. Not only will local agents have access to your listing with their qualified renters, but millions of people all over the world will be able to view your house for rent through public real estate websites such as Realtor.com, Doorsteps.com, Homes.com, Listhub.com, as well as other real estate company websites. Using the MLS cuts through the complexities of renting your home yourself, exposes your property to those most likely to rent it, and ensures you will save time showing your rental property to those who are truly qualified or interested in renting it.
What a Tenant's Agent Should Do:
Other things to keep in mind:
Many renters moving from out of town or with a job relocation program will only work with a real estate agent. Out-of-town tenants rely on the knowledge and expertise of an agent to show them homes that fit their moving criteria.
Agents will typically use only the MLS to find homes for rent for their tenants.
When listing with our company, you reserve the right to rent your home to a tenant who is not using an agent.
