How to reply without getting banned

• Buyers give bed and bath counts. Reply with a price range for that size, not a request to call.
• Say you are insured and how you handle keys and pets. Trust is the main worry.
• Many prefer an independent cleaner over a franchise. If you are small, say so.
• Move-out requests have a deadline. Lead with your next open date.
