Marketing

The internet has emerged as the leading source of prospective tenants for our properties. People prefer the ease with which they can review numerous properties in a short period of time. Louise Beck Properties, Inc. has worked diligently to ensure our web presence is the most exhaustive and aggressive in the area. With our best-in-class searchable website and our inclusion in a myriad of local and national websites, we reach more prospective renters than any other company in the area. When prospective renters review our listings, they enjoy interior and exterior pictures as well as a comprehensive description of your property. Sounds obvious, but most of our competitors don’t do it, and those that do, don’t do it as well!

Louise Beck Properties, Inc. also takes advantage of nationally and locally branded search sites that our target populations use to find housing. We market through the following sites:

Triangle Multiple Listings Service

The Triangle Multiple Listings Service is available to and accessible by licensed Realtors in the Triangle area. This comprehensive database includes extensive information and photographs of properties and land, both commercial and residential, available for sale. Rental properties are also accessible on the TMLS system; however, few Realtors and rental companies take advantage of this opportunity to market their rental listings to Real Estate Agents, many of whom are working with buyers who need a place to live while they search for a permanent home or have a home built. Louise Beck Properties averages over one third of the total rental listings available on the TMLS system in the area we cover.

Unlike many Realtors and property management companies, our TMLS entries always include at least an exterior photo (if the unit is currently occupied), and extensive interior photos if the unit is vacant. Through the MLS system, other real estate companies and individual agents include our listings on their sites. Most companies provide searching MLS listings through their webpage. Therefore, the number of websites with Louise Beck Properties’ listings number in the hundreds, giving your property additional exposure to potential renters worldwide. Through Showing Time, a value-added feature of TMLS, showings are coordinated electronically, allowing qualified Real Estate agents to show your property any time of the day or night that is convenient for prospective tenants, increasing the opportunities for the property to be seen and rented.

ListHub is the broadest, most widely adopted network for listing distribution, and works in concert with MLSs, franchises, and core real estate technologies.
