HOW TO FILL A VACANCY FASTER JEFFREY TAYLOR f you want to fill vacancies faster, you need to include a phone number in your ads where your prospects can actually reach you. Use your cell phone number or have calls forwarded to your cell phone. Most often, prospective renters are contacting several potential landlords in order to view their rentals. Often in today's culture, if a renter gets a voice message, they will simply move on to the next number they have. If you can't be reached during certain times of the day, forward calls to someone (spouse, assistant, etc.) who can recite the exact script to any potential renter, to get them excited about renting your property.
