Amenities Section
This is the section where you note the pet policy and list amenities. It's found right below the rental information section. The amenities feature is a great tool for rental listings. Below are some example amenities to include, if applicable. They will auto populate. This is also required to use the AI feature to create a draft listing.
Amenities as Shown on a Published Listing on our Website
Amenities as Shown on a Published Listing on our Website
Once the property is listed, the amenities will appear like this on the side of the listing on our website.
Utilizing the amenities feature is a good way to have the most desired features of the property clearly listed for potential renters.
Marketing Information Section
This is the section where you want to put the written listing description. The below example is in a list format- typically used for more straightforward, lower-end properties. For more information on typing up a description, go to Marketing & Listing Property for Rent.
You only need to worry about these categories:
Available On
Marketing Title
Marketing Description
Make your title simple, but attention grabbing.
For the marketing description, you really want to be sure to include the most important selling points. It's recommended to type the listing paragraph out else where and check for errors before putting it in AppFolio.
Be sure to list your name and contact information AND Riva Ridge's information.
Adding a YouTube Video to Listing
Adding a YouTube Video to Listing
At the bottom of the Marketing Information section, you have the ability to add a YouTube video walk through of the property. While this is not required, utilizing this feature is a huge benefit to you.
Use your Riva Ridge email to make an account. Take a video and upload it to YouTube. Put the link in AppFolio on the Property Page under Marketing Information.
Photo Section
Make sure photos are in JPEG format. They will not upload if they are in HEIC format. (You can use a free converter website to do this)
Upload the main photo that you want shown first and foremost, first and set it as DEFAULT. Recommended to use a photo of the outside of the property first
The order they are uploaded in is the order in which they will appear in the listing
Now That You're Ready to Post...
Post to Website, Post to Internet
Post to Website, Post to Internet
On the right hand side of AppFolio in the task bar, look at the MARKETING section. That is where you will post to website and post to internet.
Once you click both of these, it will take some time for the listing to appear. Typical syndication to websites is between 24-72 hours.
You can check if your listing is up on our website in the FOR RENT tab by searching the property address or your name.
