Best Practices – Handling Negative Reviews
Monitor all platforms and respond quickly. Dedicate someone to be the responder. Keep responses brief, genuine, and respectful. Bring the conversation offline by having them contact
the leasing office. If you know who the review came from call them. Hear them out. Often by doing so they might remove
the review after being heard. Do not start an online war/battle with the reviewer.

Best Practices – Getting The Right Reviews
Encourage customers to leave feedback early on! From touring to move-in, it’s never too early. It’s ok to ask for reviews. Person-to-person
request are best and are often the most effective. Do not offer incentives to customers in exchange
for reviews. Thank customers that give positive reviews. Highlight positive keywords in your response.

Pick Your Battles This resident went on a rant about a building
that was delayed in opening, and about the length of the move in line.
We had a dedicated person on move in whowas just responding to social media post.
We were able to gather 9 reviews that were 5stars from June – Sept during the delayedmove in compared to only 2 reviews of 1 star.

Facebook pages prior to signing a lease. We focus a lot of our social media efforts here for
this reason.Prospect visit the properties pictures and reviews.
67% of residents state they have NOT be asked by the apartment community to post a review.Low hanging fruit for most properties. AskUse 3rd party companies to help solicit reviews.
