Multi-Family Residential
Recent economic changes present new challenges for the multifamily residential housing industry. To remain competitive in the market, it is essential to distinguish yourself from the competition. The most successful companies have a clear strategy to not only consistently measure team member performance but also fully understand the scope of competitors’ offerings. By fully understanding your competitors’ offerings, your leasing team can focus on what differentiates your communities from the competition by highlighting the value your properties offer to residents.
The best way to measure where you stand in the market is to evaluate both your communities and your competitors’ communities through collecting customer feedback and competitive market analysis information.
Collecting customer feedback on your communities is the best way to understand the full resident experience, the community’s ability to attract prospective residents, and the employees’ ability to sell the community features and benefits to prospective residents.
Collecting market analysis information, including health and hygiene information, on your competitors’ facilities is the best way to find out what they are doing exceptionally and how they are competing on price, which can give you a competitive edge and set you apart.
