1. How does it work?
|
|
Create a new account online and begin adding your property listings. For each listing, you can enter address information, rent and security deposit costs, detailed description, color photos, amenities and much more... You can add as many listings as you want and choose to activate those you wish to display on the website. Renters can view your listings online and contact you via phone, email or directly online using our Introduce Me! feature (see Question #6). You can also setup an Owner Page (see Question #9) where renters can view information about your company including a link to your website!

2. My apartment is just outside or miles away from downtown Saratoga Springs, is
this website for me?
|
|
Yes! You’d be surprised to know how many people are looking for rentals in quiet neighborhoods within miles of downtown Saratoga Springs! When adding a new rental property, just make sure to select the city and distance from Saratoga Springs.

3. How does SaratogaRenter.com get people to visit our website?
|
|
Excellent question – we advertise! -- and yes, it’s working! Our advertising includes many local sources including newspapers, print ads in local coffee shops (yes! we actually post flyers in coffee shops) and campus universities, radio (coming soon!), and persistent word-of-mouth! We also feel the Internet is here to stay (yes, it’s true!) and therefore focus on Internet search advertising including pay-per-click ads and organic search listing placement.

4. How does SaratogaRenter.com compete with other forms of advertising?
|
|
Although the newspaper is a great way of advertising, we are a ton cheaper and a ton more effective! Believe it or not, studies show a renter is more
willing to visit a website and view listing details rather than call an owner from a 4 line newspaper ad. It’s simply more convenient! Plus,
since we advertise in a ton of sources we can get you just as much, if not more eye traffic than a newspaper.

|
5. How do people contact me?
|
|
It’s simple! In fact, there are a few ways a renter can contact you. First, a renter can view your owner information directly from the listing
and choose to call you. Or, if you provide an email address, they can send you an email. The renter can also use the Introduce Me! feature to send you contact information, current employment and basic rental history online, directly from the website. You can view this information directly from your online account and even choose to deny, accept or request more information from the applicant without having to pickup the phone.

|
6. How do I know people are viewing my listing?
|
|
It’s easy! You can easily view the number of visits to your listing details, photos and location mapping pages directly from your online account.
|
|
|
7. Do photos help in renting my apartment?
|
|
You bet it does… significantly! In fact, as a limited time offer, our staff will drive to your residence, take photos, and upload them onto the
website for you. If you are interested in this service, please contact us at hello@saratogarenter.com. This service is absolutely free of charge and we encourage you to use it!

|
|
8. Can I advertise my company and website from SaratogaRenter.com?
|
|
Yes! SaratogaRenter.com gives you the option to have an Owner Page, from which you display company information including your logo, main image, detailed description and link to your website. Your Owner Page also displays a complete listing of all your rental properties available for quick browsing. A renter can access your Owner Page directly from any of your listings or from our owner listing page that is coming soon!
