As the nation's leading apartment leasing consultants, CLASS is proud to offer our professional services to property owners far and wide who desperately need our help to fill apartments quickly and with responsible residents. Our strategy is proven and our methods work. Let’s look at the whole process of what happens, from start to finish, when you reach out to CLASS for our professional leasing services.

How It Works

From the very beginning of our process, we take your case extremely seriously. Heavy and thorough research is put into our efforts and that’s true from square one. Before arriving on the site of your community, CLASS works with key members of your organization to discuss the individual characteristics of the property and the specific needs required therein. We’ll develop a property profile in order to come up with a detailed leasing and marketing plan.

Additionally, one of the first things that will happen is what we refer to as a “start-up meeting” that takes place between our leasing specialists and your organization’s key members and stakeholders. At this meeting, CLASS will discuss common goals for the property or community and observe the existing leasing procedures and efforts. We’ll discuss what’s working, what’s not, and what areas could use some extra attention or changes. At that point, your CLASS leasing specialist will lay out an expansive wealth of techniques and experiences to consult with your team on the latest leasing and marketing trends in the industry. By the end of the start-up meeting, all stakeholders, organization members, and VIPs will feel confident that CLASS was the right choice. Our distinctive, thorough approach to tackling tough challenges sets us apart and allows us to remain at the top of our industry.

Starting Out

Each and every CLASS leasing specialist will begin assignments by completing CLASS’ unique 48-hour express program. This two-day program is an acclimation period for the leasing expert in which they will be able to gain an extensive understanding of the property itself, the area’s market trends, and any other relevant details of your community.

In an effort to identify and better overcome the specific challenges your property faces, our CLASS leasing specialist will:

Shop 3-5 competitive properties on the phone and in person to create a comparable market analysis
Construct a comprehensive property tour that develops a feature-specific product demonstration and prepares ways to overcome any property objections
Design, order, and implement the marketing strategy as outlined in the start-up meeting

As you’ll soon realize, CLASS’ leasing specialist will become a vital part of your leasing team. They will work with your on-site staff on marketing efforts, leasing endeavors, and any other specific details of your community. Your CLASS representative will work around the clock to immerse themselves in the details of your property so that they can help drive traffic to the door, handle leasing inquiries and questions, perform product demonstrations, and get those apartments filled quickly!
