SERIOUS ATTENTION LANDLORDS: BEWARE OF VIEWERPRENEUERS SABOTAGING YOUR RENTALS BUSINESS

The longer your houses remain vacant, the happier these "Viewerpreneurs" are because they have "commodities" to show.

They are refusing to give your potential tenants the right information about the house and demanding that these tenants to be must come see the house,

whether they are a fit or not.

For example, if a tenant is looking for a house with a car park, these corrupt agents will still show the tenants a place without a parking area and still demand Viewing fees.

Most agents who charge viewing fees hate when tenants are asking questions like, "iko na tiles?" and they force the tenant to come see for themselves.

In the end, these corrupt agents are spoiling our noble industry.

It would be better if they shared your contacts or caretaker's contacts and get paid for leads or commission.

They are staining your business, dragging its progress.

Finding ready to rent tenants nowadays is very easy and you can do it on your own or with your caretaker's help.

First, you need to reach Thousands of people looking for houses like yours.

To reach Thousands of desperate, prospective tenants, advertise your vacant houses on Renters Hub, Hauzisha or Buyrentkenya.

These are the only three Platforms people trust with rentals because people posting on them are verified.

On these sites, you will reach prospective tenants wherever they are in Kenya.

Secondly, you need to advertise your vacant houses in ways that attract only ready and fit tenants.

You do this by giving as much information about the house as possible.

Mention all the features and their benefits, without assuming that they are obvious.

Eg Large windows that allow natural sunlight into the house ensuring that the house is a healthy place of living.

A resident caretaker who is always available to handle your situations, to avoid any situation.

A children's play area to ensure your children are fit, healthy, socialized and happy.

You get the point! Accompany every feature with its benefits.

Take clear photos of various physical features that are beneficial starting with the outside of the building.

Avoid unnecessary things on the floors like paint cans or rags or ladders.

Make sure the house is clean or newly painted before advertising.

You should even tell your prospective tenants about your other charges, like garbage and water fees and your terms and conditions (Rent is due on 5th).

This way, only the most qualified will call you for pin location or directions.

Nobody will call to ask if there is a police station nearby because you have already told them.

And you come off as very transparent.
