I advertise on my local FB groups, and FB goes out of its way to advertise it on FB Marketplace (???). I then get contacted by people in a 2-hour radius who have no need for a house in my location. So for me, it just leads to a bunch of inappropriate hits, but nothing worthwhile. --166.137.xxx.xx

I was talking to a real estate broker/LL on Wednesday. She doesn't do FB AT ALL. And while I completely understand why, she's not doing herself any favors with listings be it real estate or rentals. She told me she had a vacancy 6 weeks ago & hasn't had a single call or showing. Asked where she was advertising. Newspaper & online classifieds. I asked her if she realized no one used those platforms any more?? Social media, whether we like it or not, is where it's at right now. She didn't like that answer at all. --63.245.xxx.xxx

Facebook has quickly become my primary source for filling vacancies. Since I don't have a website to post pictures of my property so I can do it right on fb. Folks are also able to tag others that they think might be looking for a place. It works for me and best of all its free. --99.150.xxx.xxx

Same here, Facebook is where people are looking at these days. A friend of mine that doesn’t have Facebook is asking me to tell her of properties listed on Facebook. Rentals are on all the groups and it’s the only place I ever advertise my vacancies. I like that I can see what kind of person I may be renting to by what I can see on their page. And like already posted, people tag other interested people. --173.26.xxx.xx

I listed a home on Zillow this past Monday night, then Tuesday morning on Facebook. I have been getting 2-3 responses per day off Zillow/ trulia, but Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday, I have literally gotten at least 75-80 private messages interested in my rental. Most of the Facebook leads were duds, but a few good ones have come from it. I will continue Facebook advertising as long as I get responses. --75.141.xxx.xxx

Get a ton of reasonable leads from Facebook. (Not marketplace...just group(s). And, yes, I get some unqualified. --98.93.xx.xx

I don't. Too much mumbo-jumbo for me. --50.107.xxx.xxx

Homer experience echoes mine. You must get some copy/ paste type responses ready and understand that most replies will not convert to qualified applicants, but you can’t argue with the huge level of interested parties on marketplace. --72.172.xxx.xx

Not work for us. --97.91.xxx.xxx

what happens when all the ones turned down or cannot get thru the most basic screening get their noses outta joint and slam you on FB? --173.63.xx.xx

Frank, it happens. People post all sorts of negativity, but the inquiries keep coming. It is like other product reviews, most people understand that there are 2 sides of the story. --72.172.xxx.xx

I'll use it as another tool but I've got 2 or 3 out there now and I rarely get any bites from it other than the above (and they never seem to respond either). --69.201.xx.xxx

When I get a PM that simply says tell me more or send me more info, I think to myself - probably no need as you have already told me enough to not want to rent to you --24.101.xxx.xxx
