Quick Responses Are More Important Than Ever Social media has picked up the pace in terms of messaging. It is common for potential residents to be looking at multiple properties at once and to message every property they are interested in at the same time. To stay competitive, the most successful property managers are responding in as few as ve minutes. O er Virtual Property Tours Every property manager nds di erent ways to handle virtual tours. While one option is to record a video of the property once and then send it to anyone interested, you can also do personalized tours. This will take more time. However, it gives you the advantage of being able to personally point out features of the property most important to the potential resident. O ering them your time in this way can help strengthen your relationship and make your property stand out amongst the crowd. Post Regularly To Social Media Social media counts as social proof for many people today.

Keep in mind that any social media account you open will have a messaging feature. A potential resident will expect to be able to reach you there. Have noti cations set up so you can reply in a timely manner. Whether in person or online, building strong connections with residents requires timely communications, a strong brand, and personalized attention to a resident’s needs.
