So we’ve gone through how it works for the prospective renter, I would like to take a moment to go through how the site works for the owners and managers. For owner’s and managers, apartmentgrade offers you a way to fight back against slanderous anonymous reviews. It gives owner’s a a It is a quite simple, two step process.
Step 1: we survey your residents. For Free. Or, if you already have a resident survey done by satisfacts or CEL & Associates, all you have to do is let them know you want to be a part of ApartmentGrade, and you do not have to complete an additional survey. After the survey is done, we share with you the scores and any qualifying property is placed on ApartmentGrade.
The second step is simply deciding where you want your traffic sent. For a nominal fee, we will send it directly to your web site. Or, if you would prefer and you work with an ILS, we will send the traffic directly to your brochure page on the ILS web site. 3 rd step go use this too you have in your marketing tool box
As I touched on briefly before, we are pleased to be partnered with Satisfacts and CEL & Associates; giving you the opportunity to utilize the survey you already do in a new way.
Some of the current owner’s and managers who have properties live on ApartmentGrade.
And finally, a little bit about the metrics we use to track our success. We have seen a strong correlation between adding properties and driving traffic. Because we derive the bulk of our traffic organically, I think this makes sense. So the key metric we are pushing is simply property growth. To date we have 307 rated properties online, we have about three times that number in our short term pipeline. In the last six months we have been very pleased with how property growth has started quickly accelerating, as more and more owners hear about what we are doing we feel the excitement building that there is finally a fair and objective rating site for apartments. Thank you very much for your time, I think we might have few minutes for questions.
