Q&A from our high performing rental listings webinar

We had many questions come up during this webinar and want to address some of the most pressing and thought provoking questions, and those we were unable to answer during the session here:

Is there an optimal number of images to include in an advert?

Yes. After analyzing a number of rental listings, and those that have the highest engagement and leads, we have determined the optimal amount of media for your rental listings is 8.

Does Rentsync operate as a platform which allows you to have all advertising platforms on one platform? 

Yes. Within the Rentsync Platform, users have access to over 20 listing sites that they can syndicate and manage all their rental listings quickly and easily.

Does Rentsync integrate with property management software to allow bookings of showings and notices to be automatically sent out?

Rentsync integrates with your property management software (you can find some of our integration partners here), so you can conveniently sync your properties into our system. We also provide a Booking App that allows you to book showings and schedule them in your calendar. 

If Listing Score^© is targeting mostly apartment units, what do you recommend to your clients that manage single family homes?

Our next release will include updated logic for single family homes where we will be changing some criteria, based on the property type. Stay tuned!

Is Listing Score^© similar to a Walk Score that has been available for some time online?

Listing Score^© is not similar to Walk Score. Listing Score is a unique score that measures the content, quality, and completeness of your rental listings. It is not a public score, and can change depending on how you optimize your listings. It is a metric you can use in your reporting to evaluate your marketing efforts. Whereas, a Walk Score® is a number between 0 and 100 that measures the walkability of any address. It awards points based on the distance to amenities in each of several categories including restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, schools and parks. This score is based on the location of your property, and not on how you market your rentals.
