3 Ways to Foster Tenant Relations

Fostering tenant relationships is essential in property management. With the current market belonging to renters it is crucial for property managers to sharpen skills, attract new prospects, satisfy current tenants, and adhere to achieving ideal rental rates. At Block Real Estate Services, LLC (BRES) our property managers incorporate a variety of strategies to effectively harbor positive environments and add value to our properties. Below, we assembled three tactics that help foster a positive tenant relationship:

Apartments as a Consumable Product

Apartments are consumable products. At our company, Block Multifamily Group, (BMG) we understand this concept through the Retail lens. Through this lens, we imagine the property as a retail shop, with the front door being the property’s entrance; the product for sale being the units; the store being the grounds and the salespeople being every member of the Management, Leasing and Maintenance staff. This approach has proven to be a critical management tool, and we have seen great on site improvements as a result. 

BRES Banding Together To Make a Difference

Banding together as a company to give back to the community is a vital component in helping enhance and build rapport within your community. In Property Management, we are in a never-ending position to create and maintain solid, long-term relationships with not only our Tenants, but the community in which we work. For Block Real Estate Services, (BRES) this is nearly every community throughout the Kansas City Metropolitan area and growing still. We value and take pride in our jobs every day and are always looking for ways to improve on our services to be ready to assist and contribute to our community...

Developing strong relationships with local government, police and fire personnel is just one of the many ways we can enhance the property management and tenant experience. With an industrial portfolio of over 1.4 million SF in Platte County alone, many opportunities have presented themselves to partner with Riverside Police Department. Since early 2008, BRES has assisted both the SWAT and K-9 divisions with new challenging locations for training opportunities. 

Leveraging For Success In 2012

Although we have no crystal ball or the ability to peek into the future, we do understand an organization that is fully prepared with superior market knowledge has the ability to anticipate and quickly adapt to the market. While we anticipate the economic climate and general market demand to remain challenging, BRES would like to share some insight into leveraging opportunities to maximize the financial outcomes for clients in 2012.
