Recently, more and more sellers have strongly considered putting their property on the rental market at the same time as the for sale market. The thought process is that the more options a seller has, the better chance that there is an outcome that works in their favor. But does it always work out this way? Arlington VA real estate agent and Realtor Matt Leighton goes over the pros and cons of listing your home on both markets at the same time. 

The answer simply comes down to this:
What are you looking to accomplish by putting your home on the market for sale and for rent at the same time? You can't sell it AND rent it, so which do you REALLY want to do?

Most owners in this situation are looking to rent out their property while 'testing' the market by putting the property for sale as well. But unfortunately, these sellers do not want to put in the effort on the For Sale side. 

If you are a thinking about selling your property, put in 110% effort on the listing side so that you know you are absolutely going to get the most for your house. Don't think a hot market can completely dictate if your home gets sold. Sure, it plays a significant factor, but if you don't have good pictures, don't stage, don't market the property properly, and don't undertake necessary steps when putting the property For Sale, you won't get the results you are looking for. 

There is the case of having your property listed on the For Sale market without any results and then putting it on the For Rent market. Matt thinks that this is acceptable, if not because it is your only recourse for not selling your property already. It is now an opportunity for purchasers to take note of your struggle and to get a good deal on the price of your home.
