We’ve been making some big upgrades to Property Management Ads (and the rest of the Condo Rental Ads Network). We closely evaluated all the features of the leading rental lead generation networks and are convinced we’ve taken the steps to make our site stand out among the competition. There are many features we are almost done integrating, but before we get into that – we wanted to thank the 50+ managers who have supported us in this start up phase and are presently listed in the CRA network, it wouldn’t be possible without you – Now it’s time to list your rentals, if you haven’t already!
The features we’re working hard to get integrated over the next 30 days:
- MLS/IDX Automated Rental Listing Posting
We understand manually listing hundred of rental properties can be a daunting task. This task has been “pushed aside” by many of the managers listed in our network already. So we’ve taken all the steps neccessary to automate your rental listings with an IDX RSS/XML mapper. If you have an IDX account (such as IDXBROKER.com) or your local MLS has an XML/RSS feed of your rental properties available, you can easily paste the URL to the XML and map the fields to our database. When a new property shows up on the feed (you add it to MLS) it will show up within 24 hours on the CRA network, when a property drops off the feed (removed from MLS), it will be removed from our network within 24 hours. This completely automates the rental listing process and makes Property Management Ads that much easier to use.
- Rental Lead Generation Site Syndication
We noticed the immediate need for supplemental lead generation, so we’ve formed API relationships with some of the most popular classifieds sites and real estate rental lead generation sites on the internet to automatically syndicate your rental listings across 25+ websites, helping generate more leads and helping you fill your vacancies faster than ever before. This will only be available to featured members.
- Sort options for rentals directory
We’re adding sort options (price, size, area, etc) on the “Available Rentals” tab for every city and state directory page on Property Management Ads. This will make it a whole lot easier to navigate our site as a prospect tenant, and find your perfect rental home.
- Marchex Call Analytics / Call Lead Delivery System
We will be assigning phone numbers to all featured members in our directory for phone lead delivery and call tracking analytics. One more way for prospects to display their interest.
- Apartment Complex Listings
This was kind of a big deal. We have ApartmentRentalAds.com but we can’t finish that site until we add a new account type on PMA to support apartment complex manager accounts. These accounts will have different features in their client control panel, allowing them to quickly and easily list an apartment complex with multiple floorplans, video tours, etc. Each apartment complex manager account can list multiple apartment complexes and multiple floorplans within each complex. This will be completed by mid February.
- Home Owner Listings
We noticed there was a need for home owners who don’t utilize the services of a property management company to list their properties for rent on the internet, so we are adding “single listing accounts” with a flat rate price per listing, and it stays live until the property rents. This will be completed by the end of February.
- Ability To List Your Company In Multiple Cities
Some companies have offices in multiple locations, so why should they have to manage multiple accounts to list all their rentals?! – They shouldn’t. We’re taking extra measures to make it possible to better define your service areas in multiple markets (up to 10) to eliminate the need for multiple accounts.
- Featured Account Upgrade
Last but not least, as mentioned in some of the above line items, we are adding a featured upgrade which will give added features of automated listing syndication across a huge lead generation network with 20,000,000+ unique monthly impressions, premium placement in our property management and rental listing directories for your MSA(s), and a local phone number for phone lead functionality. The pricing is still to be determined but it is anticipated to cost roughly $79/month, and will mostly cover our expenses for the additional services provided.
That’s all for this update! Thanks for reading – we really appreciate your support.
