Whether you are thinking to cut down expenses or agency service doesn't justify value you should pay or just curios on how agent find tenant for you, this topic I will share with you some of the tactic agents used in finding tenant.
Part 7 - Save agent fee
One of the common skill, or I will say it works most of the time, advertise your property. Where to advertise? Online advertisement you have iproperty, the star property, propwall, property guru and so on. Advertise as much as possible. Offline media you have newspaper and magazines. If you ask me which paper media is the best, probable you can consider the star and nanyang press (china press),
Hanging yellow board on tree, traffic light and etc. This is illegal, because you need to apply permit from city council and only specific location with certain format you can do, yet costly. Personally I believe, and heard many people said this is most effective. Of course, you still can hang your own big banner in your premises.
If you are big investor (there are really people got several properties, some even several tens or hundreds), agent fee becomes a significant yearly expenses. You may need to become your own corporate salesman or hire corporate salesman and locking door by door. Where to find residential tenant? You may look Oil & Gas, F&B, Banks & Insurances. If you target commercial, retail chain, government related agencies, banks are always you should lock their door. Where to find all these company name and contact? Directory like yellow pages is good reference, alternatively you can buy those directory like times, fmm or cheapest will be newspapers. You will find all kind of name from product advertisements to recruitment. Once you shortlisted company name you want to call, you can always find their telephone through internet.
My experience, different type of property you will need skill to find tenant. One of the guild line, smaller the build up area, advertisements are more effective, bigger the build up, knock door approach are more effective.
