Castle Rock, CO (PRWEB) October 7, 2006 -- Finally, there is a national site on the web for posting rental properties that is easy to use, dedicated solely to rentals, and free for both tenants and property owners. It is http://www.forrentbyowner.com [For Rent By Owner]. There is no charge for tenants to find a home or for property owners to create detailed listings along with a picture. There is no charge to register and no post-lease-signing charges, as there are on similar sites. Also, unlike some free listing sites, ForRentByOwner.com is dedicated only to posting listings for properties offered by their owners. And, the site isn’t cluttered with “classified” ads for myriad unrelated products.
All owners need to do is register with ForRentByOwner.com using an email address and password. They sign in and describe the property in as much detail as they want, including location, amenities, price, pet policy, and other features that inform and attract tenants. Then, after adding a photo of the property from their computer, they simply click the “Place My Ad” button. Presto, an ad that would cost hundreds of dollars to run in a newspaper, and over $100 on other sites, is uploaded to ForRentByOwner.com where it will stay, unless deleted by an owner or agent, for up to four months for free.
Potential tenants can click on a map for the available properties to appear, with the most recent listings at the top. Tenants can sort by type of property, location, price, etc. One click on the property reveals all of its details. Another click links the prospective tenant directly with the property owner via email; which is why the site is called ForRentByOwner. Most tenants are only three or four mouse clicks away from renting a property posted on ForRentByOwner.com. It’s that simple.
Among the main advantages of posting on ForRentByOwner.com is the site’s ease of use, and icon-style prompts that help property owners include all the information needed to create an appealing ad. The screens display large format print that help property owners post their rentals quickly—and make it easy for tenants to read. There are helpful reminders to avoid overlooking important information, and a property owner gets an email confirmation of his/her ad. In most cases, rentals can be posted in just a minute or two.
The only fees charged by ForRentByOwner.com are for property owners who want to include more than one picture, such as an interior shot to complement an exterior view. This service costs an additional $10 per picture. The addition of more pictures—each worth a thousand words—allows property owners to present special features in a very competitive rental market. This is a tremendous bargain, especially considering that the same ad in a newspaper for just a week could cost hundreds of dollars, or over $100 on some other rental sites.
