What to do can't get my place rented ?

[Mark Weinstock]

I'm a first time landlord trying to get my place rented with no luck so far

Heres a link to my rental
http://www.rentals.com/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/r1109798/

I didn't want to screen and interview people myself so i listed with a very local realty office just blocks from my rental

Before I chose that realty office i talked to a few other realtors in the area and it seems the local going rate is one month rent for me that would be $1200 I worked out a deal with this office said they'd do it for half $600 but won't list it in the MLS for that price

Anyways they've had the place for over over a month now with no luck. The girl i listed with now recommended i just pay the full fee and let them list in the MLS that way she says it will get more action she said she showed the place to 15 people and no one made a offer

looking for advice what to do

Mark, the way your listing reads that you attached says that they have to pay $1200 plus $3600. If you are only charging $1200, then the listing needs to clarify that as $1200 security deposit. Prospective tenants will see that and understand that $1200 + $1200 is $2400. I suggest you do a listing on craigslist yourself with pictures and see what happens. Often times, realtors may not be seriously following up on email leads via craigslist and as someone else asked, what has been their feedback if they claim to have done so many showings? Try craigslist yourself and see what kind of response you get.
