town as they say fortunate is in the bowl of follow is essential be sure to follow up with a thank you email in to recap their visit that same day a handwritten note is a nice way to stand out from your competitors when following up always provide easily understandable and OnPoint information to the prospect when you follow-up remind them of the location amenities and features that set your community apart are there any hot buttons that you can remind them of that were really important for them 50% of sales don't happen until after the fifth attempts so don't give up when your follow-up

execution you have a new resident that's great right but before we move them in and bite them to the next resident event we're gonna start the leasing process up strong by crossing our T's and dotting our eyes the lease is an important legal document that should be prepared with great care here are a few important things to remember in regards to the leased execution process leases are state specific be sure to use the correct lease that is appropriate for your state leases are also site-specific meaning we offer market rate and affordable homes you can verify which best suits your community with your regional property manager all leases should be typed and double-checked for any errors in legal action the lease could be found non-binding if eligible or if it contains typographical errors be sure residents initial all the appropriate lines throughout the lease agreement always use the residents legal name never use a nickname on the lease agreement list each name individually for example John Smith and Mary Smith not John and Mary Smith never he was white out or cross out anything in the lease agreement only use blue or black ink when you are signing the lease never change any of the verbage in the lease agreement that has been provided to your property the resident signature should be identical to the way that it is typed out on the lease be shirts have all the appropriate agenda for your property this would include mold and mildew addendum crime-free agenda no-tolerance addendum and harking addendum provide the resident with a copy of the executed lease agreement always see compliance for the appropriate affordable addendums HUD leases do not have addendums but they do have policies police professional should always accompany the resident during a movement inspection part of the lease execution it is important to have the move out inspection form completed always have the resident initial to smoke detector line and sign the move and inspection form as a leasing professional it is important that everything you learn about the prospect or the resident is kept confidential unless it directly pertains to the operations of the company at move in one apartment keys should be issued per adult occupant never mark a key with the apartment number residents may obtain an extra copy for duplicate keys for an additional charge only one key fob should be issued per occupant extra key fob should not be issued if you follow those steps you have a great file in hand and now we're ready to move the resident in let's go back to David to take
