Your property listings are about to get an awesome makeover that will make your vacant properties stand out and get noticed, so you can fill those vacancies fast. It’s all part of the property listings redesign brought to you by your Rentec Direct development team!
We’ve been hard at work here at Rentec Direct on a visual overhaul of the property-listings websites and we couldn’t be more excited to announce that the work is finally done and ready for you – our wonderful clients!
Marketing features, like the property listing page, are part of the many features available in your Rentec Direct account. The property listing page is one of the pages included in your custom property management website and is a great way to make your business stand out. You are able to showcase your property’s feature, include rent information and application requirements. Your prospective renters are also able to apply online directly from the property listing.
The updates to your property listings include instant search results, making it easier than ever for prospective tenants to browse your available rentals to find one that fits their needs. Beyond other visual improvements, the new design is fully responsive, so it looks professional and clean on both mobile and desktop devices.
Instant Search
Included with the redesign is a completely rewritten search tool. Your future tenants can look for a property that fits their needs exactly, like maximum rent amount, number of bedrooms, and other common property amenities. This ensures your tenants discover exactly what they are looking for and won’t waste your time calling about properties that are out of their budget or missing must-have amenities.
With the new updates to the search feature, prospective tenants can search your properties directly from the listings page and get the results of their search instantly. No more going back and forth between the search form and the search results on separate pages.
See the new search tool in action!
Fully Responsive Design
We worked hard to make sure that the new design is compatible with all major devices and browsers. Now your properties will look amazing on all devices from mobile to desktop, and everything in between.
How do I upgrade my website to the new design?
At this point you probably just want to see how your property listings look with this new design and are wondering how to make that happen.
The good news is the upgrade will take place automatically without any effort on your part. All of our clients will see the change roll out this week. We hope you enjoy the new design as much as we enjoyed making it!

Hello, will this new feature allow managers to post specific contact information for the rentals on all the sites that publish the listing? We have listings in different places and we post the agent contact info in the add and the specific email to respond … however, zillow and other mark as contact our registered phone and regular email address with rentec. The volume of call for inquiries seriously complicates our communication channels with our actual tenants. The cherry on the cake is that we cannot modify the info provided by zillow or hotpad since is picked up directly from rentec´s site and we have no authorization to modify it, even if we register as owners of the property with each marketing site.
Hi Marina,
This particular update is a dramatic improvement on the look, feel, and functionality of the listings pages that we host for you; however, it does not change the functionality or view for 3rd party sites like Zillow.
An update we have in the works however is a method to define a separate marketing contact for your listings, and when that is available we will push that to Zillow and other 3rd party sites which I believe is exactly what you will need.
That is exactly what we need. We cannot use the marketing feature properly until we can make sure that we will not get 24/7 calls inquiring on listed properties and disrupting our communication with our current tenants/.
Please let us know when it gets release. The practicality of such feature is by far more important than the way our adds looks and can be found in our websites. Zillow and other 3rd parties control the market, and are always on the top list of search engines.
When are we going to have more customization on our websites themselves?
Hi Tonya, We provide a basic template to get you started on a professional website which lets you edit the contents of the index page, about us page, and contact page. You can make edits to all of the internals of those pages and you can also change the color theme of the pages at Settings, Professional Website & Branding.
If you want a fully customized website that you build yourself, you are also welcome to do that; however, you will need a web designer or service to help you out on building and hosting it. We provide all of your property listing data in both an iframe and raw json to insert into your own website.
