Building Community: Partnering with Local Businesses Think beyond just collecting rent and consider creating a win-win situation for your tenants and your community. Partnering with local businesses can enhance the value proposition of your rental property and foster a sense of belonging for your tenants. Here's how local business partnerships benefit everyone: ⏩Added Value for Tenants: Tenants enjoy exclusive discounts or perks at nearby restaurants, gyms, coffee shops, or other businesses. ⏩Increased Tenant Satisfaction: These partnerships demonstrate that you care about their experience beyond just the rental unit itself. ⏩Marketing and Exposure: Collaborate on cross-promotion opportunities, allowing you to reach local potential tenants while businesses gain exposure to your residents. Explore opportunities to partner with businesses that cater to your tenants' interests. This can be anything from offering discounts at local fitness studios to arranging grocery delivery partnerships. By fostering a sense of community and offering added value, you create a more attractive and engaging rental environment. Welcome to #LandlordTip Thursdays with Lucrative Landlording!

💫🌟🌱 News SO exciting we had to use three emojis! Diverse Nation is growing, but in a different way... I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Diverse Nation Sales and Lettings! Now, we all know that buying and selling property can be incredibly stressful. Finding fabulous tenants for your property can also be stressful, and we know it's ridiculously stressful for renters trying to navigate the market and to find somewhere to live. What we felt was needed was a calm, professional, and chilled-out property place people can come to. We wanted a sensory-underloaded, psychologically peaceful experience that removed the noise and headaches from buyers, sellers, landlords, and renters alike. This new venture is dedicated to creating inclusive, supportive, welcoming, and quiet experiences for all our clients while they navigate the world of property. Stay tuned for more details coming soon - we can't wait to share what we have in store! Your support and enthusiasm mean the world to us. Watch this space. #DiverseNation #SalesAndLettings #Neuroinclusion #ComingSoon #ExcitingTimes #StayTuned

"If the water is still, it can be contaminated. As long as we keep moving, we'll go around just fine," says Raghav Arora, our RSM head. Raghav is a half CA but the backbone of CityBond’s sales team. Before diving into the CityBond family, he was navigating the world as a half-CA, working in sales for various companies. However, after some serious work-life balance and health alarms, destiny knocked in the form of an acquaintance from CityBond. In June 2017, he joined as a sales coordinator, initially not completely immersed in the role due to factors like the absence of an incentive culture and a credit-based system. However, by October's end, he realized that he craved more from my job. Seeking a change, he approached management, and voila, a marketing role was offered to him. The journey took flight in February 2018, marked by our presence at media expos across multiple cities. In 2019, an internal reshuffle led to the launch of a special ACP product targeting architects. Eager to delve into hard-core sales, he approached management once again, expressing his desire to exclusively sell this product. From September 10, 2019, he embarked on his ACTUAL sales journey right here at CityBond. Fast forward, to the unforeseen hit - 2020 and the pandemic. July brought a revival, and with it, our team grew from 2 to 12 members, standing strong against the odds. Targets were upgraded exponentially, signifying our resilience. When asked what keeps me rooted at CityBond, he says, “It's the close-knit management, the absence of hierarchy, and a culture where idea-sharing is not just encouraged but celebrated. Unlike other ACP companies with monopolistic teams, our educated MDs, who are CAs, bring a wealth of knowledge that reflects in our work.” In the words of wisdom that resonate with my CityBond journey: "If the water is still, it can be contaminated. As long as we keep moving, we'll go around just fine." Movement is the key to life, and in my 7 years here, this fundamental belief has been my guiding light. Here's to more years of growth, movement, and shared success at CityBond! #CityBondJourney #TeamSpirit #SalesEvolution #ResilienceInAction #WorkLifeBalance

🗒 TAKE AWAYS!  Bisnow Nashville State of the Market: PANEL 1: Adi Bhoopathy, Noble Investment Group Mia Keller, The Pizzuti Companies  Kali Cardoza, WeWork -Noble bought $2.5 B of assets in last few years with good sponsorships. Focusing on urban core still.  -Pizzuti growing their Pizzuti Solutions group while interest rates stabilize. Ability to pencil “almost” has been industrial and tier 1 suburbs for MF.  -National average retail vacancy is 4%- Nashville is 2%. We still need more retail space.  -Flex Co-working demand is high. 43% of companies they’ve interviewed said they would accommodate real estate growth needs through shared work-space.  -“Flight to quality” demand is still driving arms race in amenities. Seeing trends: location/parking accessibility; “home-like” technology in hotel rooms; site specific artwork; eliminating some co-working.  -Regional lenders are heavily long-term relationship driven with familiar clients/partners. “If you have it, you should do it” so that you can deliver high-demand competitive product in a couple years. -Noble focusing on “speed to close (40 days)” for the seller to “take some of their chips off the table” and less on creative location since options are minimal.  PANEL 2: Matthew Robinson, MRP Realty Jesse Abair, The RMR Group 🏆 (keeping an eye on this one) Reggie Polk, Polk & Associates Construction, Inc.   Jonah Hanson, KPF -City has done a great job of making connections between the “pockets of development”. -MRP has had a great Metro experience- the enduring question from them has maintained “How can we help; how can we make this better?” -MRP says Metro is very principled around the “right thing to do from a planning perspective”. - 🏆 Excitement around placemaking as a result of needing to rethink their phasing- a common current challenge across mixed use developments.  -Consensus that supporting the transit referendum is very important ⭐ .  -Solving big, complex challenges around infrastructure are critical for the ability to start projects.  -Consensus that river boating/taxis are valued but question remains who will support their ability to load/unload. 👋 Pontoon Saloon, wish you had been there! *Per usual, all notes are just as I heard them.

We all know happy staff leads to happy residents, but what if a better sales process was the key to unlocking both? Watch my latest video where I take a look at how streamlining sales can have a "Ripple Effect" on staff morale, better resident matches, a more empowered team and a better environment for all.  Improving sales isn't just about numbers - it's about creating a thriving community!

Keeping with the theme of an extremely busy week on the road, yesterday I was in Gloucester with Magna Housing Ltd colleagues and peers from Magenta Living, Wolverhampton Homes, and Tai Calon Community Housing Limited for the third in a series of customer focussed workshops. This follows on from an extremely important piece of psychographic segmentation work that my team commissioned with Naomi Sweeting at Grand Union Housing Group to conduct on our behalf, allowing us to view the Magna customer base through a completely new lense and at a STRATEGIC LEVEL. We will be using this insight to plug into our upcoming service design programme. Reflecting on my move back into housing from my managing partner role with a UK digital agency just over a year ago, I can’t emphasise enough how important this type of segmentation is for the housing industry. The work Naomi and Grand Union are doing to introduce it to the industry (we’re one of around 12 organisations involved in this so far) is extremely important, and will hopefully drive housing associations forwards with vastly improved customer insight and better representation of customers, which can ultimately be used to design services that MEET customers needs. I’m excited to plug this new insight and methodology into our wider service design programme. If anyone reading this is interested to know more, drop me a message. I’m at #housing2024 next week and happy to chat. #housing #segmentation #psychographicsegmentation #customerinsight #customervoice #customerengagement

The top 3 places best placed to experience rental growth are: Reading, Bristol, and Milton Keynes, according to new data from PriceHubble. Reading has recently benefited from the opening of the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail), drawing in a new demographic of renter and also is well place for the M4 tech corridor. The ranking is based on the Dataloft City Model which draws on economic and housing market data to assess the outlook for rental growth in the UK’s largest 60 towns and cities. There are 5 key components to the type of data assessed: Jobs and local economy, Demographic, Affordability, Enterprise and innovation, and Scale for investment.
