What makes a stellar onsite leasing team stand out? 🌟 In the highly competitive property management landscape, your leasing team's effectiveness can make or break occupancy rates. It's more than just closing deals; it's about creating lasting impressions and building trust. Training your team to listen actively, respond empathetically, and understand each prospect's unique needs is key. Think of it this way: A good leasing agent can fill a vacancy; a great one creates brand advocates. Encourage your team to use personalized follow-ups and celebrate small wins with prospective tenants. This can lead to stronger relationships and higher retention rates. What's one quality you believe every great leasing agent should possess? Let's discuss in the comments! ⬇️

Leasing and Property Management IS sales!

When hiring a new leasing team member for an apartment community, it's crucial to ensure they have the right skills, personality, and motivation. Here are three key questions property managers should consider asking: 1. Can you describe your experience in property management or leasing? 2. How do you handle difficult situations with tenants or potential renters? 3. What strategies do you use to close a lease and ensure tenant satisfaction? These questions aim to uncover the candidate’s practical experience, interpersonal skills, and strategic thinking, all of which are essential for a successful leasing team member in an apartment community. #TrybePropertyManagement #PropertyManager #LeasingTeam #NewHore #TeamTraining

🌟 The Power of the Right Fit 🌟 Ever wonder why some properties struggle to fill their units? Late market? Sure. Supply and demand? Maybe. Fasfa delays? Possibly. Sometimes, it's as simple as having the right "fit" leading the leasing team. Leasing Managers/Consultants demand a sales-focused mindset. But let's face it, not everyone thrives in the world of objections, relentless follow-ups, and turning on the charm when needed; all while having a level of assertiveness. I couldn't agree more with Michael DiMella insight: most sales professionals are not going to shine as Property Managers, and vice versa. It takes different skills, personalities and approaches for each role. Hiring a Leasing Manager based on seeing this as an opportunity to promote him/her to a Property Manager in the future, could be hindering the property's current leasing potential. Because we recognize the importance of salesmanship in leasing, it is why Empower's National Leasing Specialists are the best in the industry—each agent is capable of boosting a property's leasing velocity by 3x-4x and that is just on average. **Humble brag** They are able to do it because at their core they possess that elusive "IT" factor and are true sales professionals. William Butler Jr. often says, he can train anyone to lease, but the traits of a good sales professional are inherent and can not be taught. Leasing requires a specific mindset.

Leasing acts like the initial spark in the rental property world. Leasing agents are like salespeople, actively finding qualified tenants to fill vacancies. They'll advertise the property, conduct tours for interested applicants, screen them thoroughly (credit checks, references), negotiate lease agreements, and collect security deposits. Once a tenant signs on the dotted line, leasing's job is done. Property management, however, takes over the long-term responsibility of ensuring a smooth and successful rental experience for both the owner and the tenant. They act as the customer service representatives, handling essential tasks like: Rent collection and bookkeeping, Maintenance and repairs, Tenant communication and relations, Eviction proceedings (if necessary), and Fair housing compliance. #propertymanagement #propertymanagementsoftware #grabthevine #propertymanagers #rentvine
