Lease-up questions

How long does a multifamily lease-up campaign take?

In our portfolio, most lease-ups reached their goal in three to twelve months. Clipper Lofts in Grand Rapids leased all 35 units in four months against a six-month target. Tree Top in Spartanburg went from 30% to 85% occupancy in five months, CODA in Nashville from 40% to 90% in five, and The Current in Grand Rapids was 99% leased in under eight months. Timing depends on unit count, starting occupancy, competition and how quickly leads get a response, so we set milestones with you at the start and report against them every week.

Can you rescue a lease-up that has already stalled?

Yes, and it is a large share of our work. CODA had sat at 40% occupancy for eight to nine months on listing sites alone, with at least 12 new Class A rentals within five miles; it reached 90% in five months. The Crest in Duson, Louisiana, was at 58% with 15 vacant homes and went from 21 to 60 occupied homes in eight months, at a 32.5ร— return. In both cases the fix was the same: a dedicated lead capture page, paid social, and text follow-up that books tours within a day.

Do you replace our leasing team?

No. We work alongside your on-site team. We generate and qualify leads, follow up by text and email, and book tours directly into your teamโ€™s calendar, so they spend their time showing units and signing leases. We meet with the leasing team every week to review what is converting. At The Crest, a single on-site leasing person ran a 78-home community while every inquiry was texted within 24 hours to book a tour.

What is GEO, and does it matter for a lease-up?

GEO, or generative engine optimization, is the work of making a property show up when renters ask AI assistants such as ChatGPT where to live. AI answers favor sources with clear, specific facts, so we make sure the buildingโ€™s details are easy for them to find and quote. At Clipper Lofts in Grand Rapids, GEO for ChatGPT visibility ran alongside paid social, organic posts and text nurture, and the building leased all 35 units two months ahead of schedule.
