"2 days ago they said that they would be here for today's tour. How could it be they didn't arrive?" Are we actually living in reality rn? 😵💫I don't even know what I'm having for dinner 2 days out, what makes you think this stranger, that owes you nothing, will remember a set tour? Overassumption is what kills most signed deals in the rental market. Overassumption that the prospect will do what you think they'll do. Overassumption that the agent ...
"I don't follow-up everyday, I don't want to bombard my prospect."This is the first thing I hear at most sites I train across the country 🇺🇸 when I'm first interacting with a team.Did they say this directly to you?Did they answer the first time?Did you set follow up expectations when you were both in office?Heck, do they even know who you are?The first 24 hours of a prospect's life is SO crucial.If you are hesitant to reach out to a prospect who' ...
If that offends you… it's probably because it applies to you.Call it old school. Call it high standards.I call it basic human decency.Let's be honest here:If you can't stand up to greet someone who might pay your property $20K+ this year…You're not a leasing professional at all. You're a warm body in a chair 😭When a prospect walks in and you stay seated, you're communicating:→ "You're an inconvenience."→ "I'm not invested in you enough yet."→ "Th ...
I train all of my sales teams with this rule:Find a hobby. Commit to it. No excuses.I run 5 miles every other day.Not even for my health — for my sanity.It resets my mindset, my attitude, and my patience.I've been burnt out before. The kind where lights are completely out by 7PM for months.Then I woke up one day like… yeah, this isn't me at all. The world kept spinning, and I wasn't about to fall behind.If you want to avoid burn out in 2026, stop ...
The entire corporate office was surprised. Why?Shocker! International workers exist! When I lived in Salt Lake City, that line followed me everywhere as a leasing agent. I even went to a company training once where they flat out said, "Try not to rent to 'illegals' if you can". "International prospects aren't ever serious.""Too much paperwork to do.""Not worth the risk."So, at some point I stopped listening because this is the same thing that can ...
Most sale revenue-producing teams get access to deal reviews, live call breakdowns, real-time coaching, and constant performance feedback.
In multifamily?
They get an unfamiliar CRM login, an outdated course, and a “You got this!”
Yikes.
Now let’s talk shocking numbers:

How many times have you heard that as an on-site worker?
No training.
No context.
No callbacks when you unlock the leasing office.
Just vibes, a few miscellaneous keys, and maybe a sticky note from the last person.
Let’s be real:
This generation of leasing agents is not lazy.
They’re just not...

Never speak price until you can justify its value.Why?Because if you drop the number too early,you're now going on a tour with a prospect AND their wallet. Congrats!People love to escape their own realities every once in a while.Sometimes price is the last thing someone wants to hear (again) when they're considering their new dream home.→ Prospects don't typically reject the price, they reject the idea that this is "just another" community that's ...
Most reps/leasing agents think market research is just knowing comp's price and amenities. It's not. Not even close. → It's about market awareness 🧠→ Positioning power 🎯→ Frame control 💼Every week I'm training one of my national teams 🇺🇸, I make it a point to tour comps in that market.Not to spy.→ To outperform.→ To sharpen.→ To win.I ask questions. Study tone and cadence.And listen to how they generally sell, because if a prospect didn't sign wi ...


If you don’t know your team’s coffee order,
you probably don’t even know how they like being led 🤦🏽♂️
Most managers think leadership is about
check-ins, KPIs, and HR-approved compliments.
Not quite for Gen Z.
→ It’s about pattern recognition 🧠
→ It’s about energy management 💡
→ It’s about buy-in 💰
Last week I brought Starbucks to one of my student sites in Davis, CA to kick off the day.
Not to be “nice.”
→ But because I pay attention.

Here’s the truth every national 🇺🇸 team I train knows, and why they consistently sell out:
→ You can’t coach what you haven’t done.
→ You can’t lead what you won’t embody.
→ You won’t retain people who feel like replaceable labor tied to a desk.
That latte?
It wasn’t about caffeine.
→ It was frame control.
→ It was calibrating tone before signs of burnout or fatigue may be setting in.
Top teams don’t just survive pressure.
→ They thrive when it’s personalized to them.
So if your team’s “just getting by”
while you’re working on building company culture,
You’re not leading.
You’re managing performance.
And they employee retention may feel it.
That’s why I train my teams across the 🇺🇸
not just how to close deals…
→ But how to read the room, build loyalty, and grow into future leaders.

I’ve watched leasing agents terribly derail tours because of this one emotion 👀
Desperation.
Not because they didn’t know how to lease.
But because they didn’t trust their process when the heat started rising. 🌡️
You’ve seen it:
→ “What if we don’t hit numbers again this week?”
→ “We’re more than our comps?”
→ “They said they loved the tour so why didn’t they apply?
Once that panic kicks in?
You overtalk. You oversell.
You start chasing people who...I’ve watched leasing agents terribly derail tours because of this one emotion 👀

→ “They said they loved the tour so why didn’t they apply?

You overtalk. You oversell.
You start chasing people who were already considering you willingly.
This is a bad place to lease from and it’s not uncommon to find in any rental market.
The agents I train across the country 🇺🇸 every week avoid this mindset by mastering multiple disciplines. Here’s 3:
✅ Maintain the Frame
You’re not a tour guide. You’re the authority and the leader. The second you let them lead, you’ve lost the close.
✅ Ask Questions That Give You Objection Ammo
Every question is strategic. You’re collecting future leverage, not just chatting.
✅ Already in Relationship
The tour should feel like a reunion, not an introduction. Familiar energy builds trust quick. You should feel like a friend before they paint you as a villain.
When you operate like this, leasing velocity will compound quick.
You stop pushing.
You stop chasing.
And you start closing without needing to try so hard.
Urgency without frame = desperation.
But frame + trust + call to action?
That’s what closes leases while you’re already on your next tour.
Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself.

I've heard that. Like a lot.Being part of "this generation," and someone who's constantly pushing myself and the teams I coach, I felt conflicted.So the past 2 years I studied it.I traveled across the country.I trained leasing teams from coast to coast.Here's what they're actually asking for:- A CRM that doesn't look like it came with the first PC ever made (shoutout Entrata —still the best in 2025)– Training that coaches directly to personality ...
You cannot feed your way to a stabilized asset. You also cannot bank on giving verbal motivation to a team of HUMANS for long. Leasing is a skill. It's human psychology. It's emotional intelligence that must be trained constantly to be regulated starting day ONE. It's getting a random stranger to drop $24,000 in under an hour, because they trust you. That does not come from a Dominoes pizza box delivered online from multiple states away (sorry Do ...
