This is my first time using Zillow for applications. I've recieved many applications, but very few qualified applicants. Do I need to respond with a denial reason to every applicant that I haven't selected and if so can it be through the Zillow messaging system or is there another way I should do it?
@Steven Pressey denying all the Zillow applicants would be a full time job. Even when you post minimum qualifications in the ad: income 3x rent, 600 credit, etc unqualified applicants still show up in droves. We just work with whatever ones qualify-5%? and simply ignore the rest.
I only respond to the ones that do the complete application and the background check for every adult. I feel that if they do pay for the background check, they were serious and should have a response. I call, text, or respond through an app.
