The Professional Appeal: Having a licensed real estate agent show your rental adds a professional touch to the showing. Not only do the potential tenants feel more safe, they also feel more free to share their thoughts and opinions. Licensed agents also give a sales appeal to your property and are able to walk through and highlight key features, which will increase the chances of a tenant's chances of applying to lease the property.
 

Assistance When You Need It: You're not always available to show your rental. Someone may ask to see the property when you're out of town, out sick or busy with prior arrangements.
 

The Time Investment: If you make a certain amount of money per hour, then it may not be worth your time to leave work, cancel arrangements, etc. to show your property.
 

Property Feedback: Receive honest feedback about your property from an agent's perspective and the potential tenant. When a potential tenant sees a home with an agent, they feel more comfortable sharing their likes and dislikes about the property.
