Real Estate Finder

How do I handle telling the customer that there are no one month rentals in Boca Raton?    I remember renting houses on the Jersey shore for one week at a time.  They were handled by the local real estate agents. But not anymore of those deals are handled by Airbnb or VRBO.   For me, anything under six months just is not realistic to find a rental, but I guess it could be a short as three months.    Under 3 months it’s just not what we as Realtors do.    Many people think Boca Raton, and or Palm Beach County, is the resort community like the Jersey shore, or Galveston or Gatlinburg.     But South Florida is more of a residential community and we just don’t have the inventory of short term rentals.    So if you’re an agent and a customer wants a three week or two month rental I think it’s OK to just tell the customer I’m sorry that is not what we do.   If you are looking for a seasonal or annual rental, please give me for my team call and we would be happy to help you as best as we can. Personally, I love doing rentals. I just need everybody to be realistic about what is available and what the goals are.     Have an idea for a podcast?
