Overview
If you want to give your vacancies more exposure, you can post listings to Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist using RentEngine’s one-click copy tools.
RentEngine prepares your property details, photos, and scheduling links so you can publish quickly without re-writing listings by hand.
What this feature does
RentEngine lets you:
Copy a complete marketing description to your clipboard
Download all listing photos in one step
Include a scheduling link that routes prospects to schedule via RentEngine
You post the listing manually, but RentEngine handles the prep work.
Post to Facebook Marketplace
Get your listing content
Go to the Properties tab
Select the property
Click Take action → Post to FB/Craigslist
Click Copy to clipboard
Click Download images
You now have everything needed to create the listing.
Create the Facebook listing
Open Facebook Marketplace
Create a new rental listing
Paste the copied description (including the scheduling link)
Upload the downloaded images
Publish the listing
Most prospects will schedule a showing using the link at the top of the description.
If a prospect messages you directly, reply in Messenger with the scheduling link so they book through RentEngine.
The listing also includes your custom phone number, allowing prospects to text directly into the Command Center.
Important note about Facebook
Facebook Marketplace does not allow businesses to post rental listings from a business page.
Listings must be posted from a personal Facebook account.
Post to Craigslist
Get your listing content
Go to the Properties tab
Select the property
Click Take action → Post to FB/Craigslist
Click the Craigslist button
Click Copy to clipboard
Click Download images
Create the Craigslist listing
Open Craigslist
Create a new rental listing
Paste the copied description
Upload the downloaded images
Publish the listing
As with Facebook, the scheduling link routes prospects back into RentEngine.
Best practices
Always include the scheduling link so prospects book showings themselves
Reply to direct messages with the RentEngine link instead of coordinating manually
Repost listings periodically to keep them visible
Use Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist as supplemental exposure, not replacements for syndication
Troubleshooting
Prospects message me instead of scheduling
Reply with the scheduling link and ask them to book a showing directly.
