“Let’s not turn multifamily into this EVER.” Check out what Amy is talking about here: https://lnkd.in/gwYdB_5F Is something like Daniella the future of leasing? We certainly hope not! A cardboard cutout with smart technology that can answer questions is not the same as a leasing agent and can never compare to human interaction! What do you think about Daniella and this type of technology?

Let us know here: https://lnkd.in/gG6BEmrg This is a really interesting situation that we would love to hear the community’s suggestions on how this Insider should approach it. If you had a leasing agent who was great at their job, was loved by residents, and would even stay late to help, how would you address the tardiness? Some have suggested changing schedules so they come in an hour later and leave an hour later, do you think that would help?

The Multifamily Amenity Paradox: Is it Psychological? Because It’s Not Logical… https://lnkd.in/gyWUA92E Vicki has a great post that you should check out! In it she asks, “If amenities are so crucial to leasing, why do 20% or less of residents actually use them?” Well, what do we think! Vicki makes some great observations about why this may be and how residents may feel about these amenities even if they don’t use them. Have you figured out this paradox? Why do you think residents want amenities they don’t really use?
The Multifamily Amenity Paradox: Is it Psychological? Because It’s Not Logical… We all know amenities create that crucial “WOW” factor that certainly helps get leases signed. But here’s the question that keeps me up at night: If amenities are so crucial to leasing, why do 20% or less of residents actually use them? And, if they are moving from another new property, they are AWARE they didn’t use them in their last building, but are still willing to pay a premium for a building with them again. Is it psychological? Maybe it says something about who they are and the success they have achieved to both themselves and others? Or is it the simply the excitement of the POSSIBILITY of using them, the convenience of everything in one place, and/or the perceived value add that’s the draw? What is it that REALLY matters to our end users? Are we creating the “amenity wars” by trying to keeping up with each other, instead of genuinely understanding IF they are all important and WHY? I’m genuinely curious. Are we missing design opportunities? Or marketing opportunities? Maybe not, but inquiring minds want to know, so I’m going to start digging and see what I can find. Drop any thoughts below.

Do you feel like companies aren’t training their employees? https://lnkd.in/gNvjhAXQ Is this Insider right about companies not training their employees these days?
