Last December we began our ResidentPay Sweepstakes, asking residents to pay their rent online via ResidentPay for the chance to win a new Kindle Fire. Book lovers across the U.S. responded, dreaming that they could cozy up with their very own e-reader and combat the winter blues with Lisbeth Salander or Dean Koontz. Well, the wait is over for two lucky winners: congratulations to Thomas Lowe of Oregon (Fairfield Residential) and Anne Kemmerer of Georgia (Madison Group)! Thanks to everyone who participated and helped get the word out, and we hope you continue to enjoy the convenience and security of online payments.

Posted by: Tashina Wortham | Category: Tips & Tricks

We all know the old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover” but when it comes to Facebook users, it’s exactly what we do. In a recent study investing how people formed opinions of others on Facebook, researchers found that most people formed their impressions by users’ photos without ever reading the “About” profile text. With the release of timeline for business, this means your cover has a substantial impact on the opinions of those who visit your page. According to Brandon Van Der Heide, lead author of the study, “Photos seem to be the primary way we make impressions of people on social networking sites.”

What makes renters tick? What do they expect out of their rental experience? How important are ratings and reviews? How do renters shop for apartments, and how does that impact marketing efforts? Such are the questions that plague multifamily professionals.

Call Centers That Act Like Leasing Offices

5 Ways Next-Generation Technology Will Blur the Line Between Call Center and Leasing Office

The multifamily industry has heard a lot about the dangers of missed calls, and rightly so. Missing leasing calls is tantamount to flushing up to 60 percent of your marketing budget down your office toilet. On the retention side, 11 percent of non-renewing residents blame unresponsive property offices for their decision to move out. Shocked by these numbers, dozens of companies have turned to call centers to fill the gaps. However, while these call centers have increased performance, they aren’t yet the leasing partners they could be.
