Your property management company may approach you to refer your friends and family members to rent with them in your building. But what's in it for you? When you refer your friends and family members to live in your community, your landlord is not the only beneficiary. You too enjoy many benefits to bringing your network into your community. Read below to see how.
When you are encouraged to refer your friends and family, you are sharing your marketing efforts with your current landlords. You have a network of friends and family that might not be reachable through any other forms of advertising. Perhaps your family lives in a Mississauga apartment, but are looking to move to Toronto. If you live in a Toronto apartment, you unofficially become representatives for your family looking for apartments in the city. Leveraging these relationships can decrease vacancy for your landlord and give you more control over who shares your community.
If you have a great community of neighbours already, you want to attract more tenants just like that. There is no better way to do that than to call on the network of your existing friends and family. That way you attract more people with similar lifestyles, ideals, and values. You can feel some assurance that they will treat your community in a respectful manner. Similar to yourself of course.
Many property management companies often provide those who provide referrals with special incentives. These bonuses often include cash for you and your referral. It's a win-win for everyone.
When you encourage your friends and family to rent with your property management company, you build a community where members have a deep relationship and respect for each other. Having a close community can be great for fostering attention to and participation for tenant events. Furthermore, people who respect their community are also likely to show respect to their neighbours and their property. Refer your friends and family today and enjoy living in a close and caring community.
