How do I respond to my leads?
When you receive a message from a prospective renter, we’ll notify you via email. To respond to your lead, click View Message to navigate to your Messages, or log into your Manage Account and click on the Messages Tab to access your inbox. Once there, you can view all of your active conversations with leads, applicants, and tenants. Select a conversation, type your response directly in the text box, and click Send to reply.

Why aren’t renters responding to me?
When you message a renter, we notify them via email. On the off chance this email ends up in the spam folder, they may not be receiving your messages and therefore, not responding.
If a renter isn’t responding to you, we recommend reaching out via a different contact method such as phone call or email. When viewing a conversation with a renter, their contact information can be found in the top right corner of the screen. Locate the phone and email icon, then hover over each for the respective contact information. You can also find their contact information in your Lead Report, located on the bottom left hand corner of your dashboard.

Why am I not receiving leads?
Here are a few common reasons why you may not be receiving leads.
- Your listing is still pending.
- You have already received the maximum number of leads to your listing, in which case you will no longer receive new leads until the beginning of the next month.
- You posted an open (non-exclusive) listing. An open listing means several agents can have an agreement with the landlord or owner to represent the property whereas, in an exclusive listing agreement, just one agent lists the property.
To help generate more leads, try one or more of these tactics:
- Update your property listing with more pictures or details.
- Decrease the monthly rent or offer a move-in special.
- Ensure you are responding to inquiries in a timely manner.
- For a flat fee, boost your property to the top of our search results to get guaranteed leads. This is only available in select markets.
