Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from letting agents in Barnsley every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Competing agents dominating your local area
Other letting agents have optimised their online presence and are capturing the landlords who should be yours.
Buy-to-let investors going to bigger agencies
Landlords with portfolios want a professional, established agent. If your online presence doesn't match, they'll go with a bigger firm.
No landlord-specific content on your website
Your website needs to speak directly to landlords — management fees, tenant vetting, compliance. If it doesn't, they'll find an agent whose site does.
Your agency doesn't show up in local searches
Landlords search for local letting agents on Google Maps. A bare listing means lost instructions.
