Traditionally viewed as an entry-level role, the leasing agent position has evolved. Today’s agents must bring strong professionalism and specialized skills to the job. Finding a home can be stressful, and prospects deserve knowledgeable, well-trained agents who focus on building relationships—not just closing transactions.

Stephanie shares her top three tips for leasing and sales training: using value language to communicate what it feels like to live in your community; effective follow-up, which requires consistency, creativity, and customization; and changing your perspective so that you can be prepared, feel refreshed, and have a positive attitude when working with potential renters.
