The Leasing Professional Awards

PMA’s Leasing Professional Awards recognize individuals who excel at representing their communities, building trust with prospects, and converting interest into long-term residency. This program celebrates leasing professionals who consistently deliver strong performance and a high-quality prospect experience. 

Why Participate

Property managers, management companies and individuals participating in the Leasing Professional Awards receive the following benefits:

  Improve Performance: The Leasing Professional Awards establish benchmarks for leasing excellence and help improve conversion ratios and overall presentation quality. Each nominee receives an in-depth evaluation with detailed scoring and benchmarking that highlights strengths and identifies opportunities for growth.

Judging criteria may include greeting and first impressions, information-gathering strategies, professionalism, property and apartment tours, benefit selling, objection handling, closing strategies, and follow-up.

  Strengthen Teams: Participating in the Leasing Professional Awards demonstrates your investment in the development and recognition of your sales teams. The program boosts morale, encourages collaboration, and fosters healthy competition.

  Industry Recognition: Leasing Professional Award Winners will be announced at PMA's 2026 Leasing and Maintenance Summit this fall. Award recipients are recognized by peers and showcased through PMA communications throughout the year.
