Leasing Professional Awards
Recognizing individuals who excel at selling the benefits of their communities and converting prospects into residents.
Benefits of Participating
Evaluations
To determine Leasing Professional Award winners, PMA contracts with a third party to conduct mystery shops. Each shop begins with mystery shopper telephoning the apartment community to schedule a targeted in-person visit to the community. The secret shopper then conducts an in-person visit and provides objective and timely feedback on the leasing presentation.
A mystery shopping company will evaluate each entrant June through September. Shops will not occur during the first seven days of the month or on Mondays or Federal holidays. Judging criteria include, but are not limited to: greeting, information-gathering strategies; professionalism; property/ apartment tour; benefit selling, overcoming objections; closing strategies and follow-up.
