Patience Pays Off: Finding the Perfect Tenants in a Competitive Fall Market

When I listed the home for rent this fall, I knew it wouldn’t be easy.

The market was saturated, some weeks there were over 40 other homes competing for the same pool of renters. Showings trickled in more slowly than any of us hoped and patience was put to the test.

But I stayed the course; adjusting strategy, keeping my clients informed, and making sure the home stood out with great presentation and follow-up. Eventually, the right match came along: tenants who were not only qualified but also incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely fun to work with.It was one of those reminders that persistence pays off.

The process took longer than expected, but the ending couldn’t have been better and my landlord clients were so pleased they shared the nicest review about their experience.
