If you own a property in Bulgaria, there is a good chance that you will decide to rent out the home during the year when you are not using it for your holidays. This is one of the huge advantages of owning a home in such a popular holiday destination, as the income from your rental guests can help offset the cost of owning a property in Bulgaria.

However, renting out your holiday home is not as simple as just putting up an ad on a holiday lettings website. When someone emails you and is interested in renting your property in Bulgaria, do you know how to respond professionally? The way that you respond will create an important first impression which will be what the potential renter uses to judge whether or not they want to stay at your holiday property. You can increase your chances of turning an inquiry into a sale by following these simple tips:

·        Always be the first to respond. Many people who are looking for a property in Bulgaria will email several holiday homes in one day. If you are quick on the draw and write back to them first, they will be more likely to choose your accommodation. Check your emails often and write back as soon as you receive an inquiry.

·        When replying, make sure you identify yourself in the email in case the person has emailed several holiday home owners that day and can’t remember which property in Bulgaria is yours. You can include a link to the property listing or to your website so that they can refresh their memory.

·        In order to make responding to emails quicker, you can craft a pre-written email which contains the most important information that your potential renters need to know. This includes prices, location, rental contract, directions and more. You can copy and paste this message and then alter the details depending on who you are sending it to, which is much more efficient than writing a brand new email each time.

·        Let them know that you are available to answer any questions that they might have, and even include your telephone number if you are comfortable giving this out.

·        Tell them a personal story, such as what made you fall in love with the property in Bulgaria, how you renovated it, or the history of the area. This information will make them feel more connected to the property and make them want to experience it for themselves. Remember that renting someone else’s holiday home is more personal and unique than a hotel, so make it special and memorable!

·        When you are answering their questions about the property, write in a style which helps them imagine themselves there. For example, if they ask whether or not you have sun loungers on your terrace you can tell them yes and also tell them how comfortable they are for sitting out in the sunshine and reading a good book.

These are just a few tips that will help you write a great response to your booking enquiry and get some renters for your property in Bulgaria!
