Anyone Here Had Luck Renting Their Properties Through Zillow?

I recently used them and thought it worked well, though this is our first rental so our experience is quite limited. Your first listing with them is free and then I believe just a few bucks per month for each additional listing. They charge tenants a $30 application fee and the applications I received were pretty thorough, credit reports, background check, etc. I’ve also just set up their online payment option for our tenant but can’t report how that works yet as we haven’t received the first payment as of yet.

I had our townhouse posted on Zillow(it also post on a couple of their sister sites), Facebook Marketplace and also had a sign in the front yard. Zillow and Facebook both yielded a ton of traffic, people on Zillow were more serious, Facebook was a lot of contacts but mostly tire kickers, and I was quite surprised how many serious inquiries I got with just a sign in the yard.

Only complaint is you have to tell tenants submitting apps to hit the “submit” button once finished. Something about it shows them they’re finished but if they don’t hit submit it won’t get sent to you.

Zillow is good. They recently started charging $10/week.

As previous poster said, use FB Marketplace too.

And always use signage.

I have had them fill out application on line. That was convient. I did not have to pay for it.

In the past, I would email them an application.

Thanks all
