Introduction

If you are in the real estate business and selling houses is too hard for you, then you can let houses because it is easier and even though the commission is not as big as you would get for selling a house, it is more than enough for a decent life.

Step 1

When you want to start to let houses, there are some things you must know. First you could be trying toe let houses that other agents are trying to let too. So in order for you to make sure that you will get the commission, try to convince the owner of the place to sign with you an exclusivity contract. This will assure you that you will be the only agent who has access to that or those places.

Step 2

Secondly, when you let houses, before you put them on the market, you will have to see those places to make sure that everything is in order with them and that you won’t have any trouble renting them. Every potential client will want to see a clean house in which he or she could move. If certain appliances for example are not working, before you try to let houses, it is best that you have a conversation with the owner to try to fix them.

Step 3

Another thing you should remember when it comes to let houses, is that the commission is not too big, so in order for you to raise a decent salary you will have to let houses and not only one house. This means you will have to work harder, although not as hard as trying to sell a house.

Step 4

If you want to let houses, the best way to let people know that you have houses to let is to advertise those homes, on the internet or repeatedly post announcements in the news papers. This will cost you some money, but not too much, so you will be able to afford to do that.

Step 5

In order for you to let houses successfully, when someone calls you and they are interested, you should always give the exact details of the house like the space that it has or the area where it is situated. This way, if what you have is getting close to what the client wants, the contract will be signed almost immediately.

Tips

So, remember, if you want to let houses, try to let as many as possible, try to convince the owners to sign an exclusivity contract with you, so that no other agent could try to let those houses too. Check those places before you put them out on the market. You wouldn’t want to go there with a potential client and find out that there are some things in the house that don't function.
