How long does it normally take to put a house on MLS for rental leasing by a leasing company?

I bought a house and hired a leasing company to put it on rent. It has been 4 days but I have not recieved any make ready bid or pictures. They say they are working on it. How long does it usually take a leasing company to do the initial tasks and get the house on MLS/rent ? What is your experience?

  1. If the agent is eager ot get it listed, they would put up the text version, within the same day, and upload the photos the next day. I hope this helps. Good luck!
  2. 1 day, or immediately. all depends on when your agent actually signs on and lists it. its not a hard task- just takes the effort of the agent to actually do it-5 minutes of their time. But keep in mind -I used to be in the buisness and this is 100% illegal but 99% of agents will hold off for 2 or 3 days just to see if they cant rent/lease or sell the place themselves- only because if they are able to without the help of mls- then they get 100% commission rather than splitting the commision with someone else who would bring around the renter or buyer.... either way hope nobody gets mad at me for lettin out their secrets- but im sure your home will be on mls and be leased soon enough. patience is a must during thi slow market.
