I had an awesome time with Andrew Hudson on the podcast last week. He's an absolute expert in leasing and had a ton of actionable tips and tricks to share.

One of my favorite parts of this conversation was the concept of a 'product notebook' and the good things that can happen in your sales process when you share deep specifics about the units you are showing.

A few of my favorite parts of this conversation:

- Jess's tips on gaining product knowledge about your competitors

No better person than Timothy Rodman, Growth Marketing Manager at Rent Dynamics to be that special guest host!

Tim was fortunate to get connected with Doron Rothstein, a Property Manager with Sun Garden Apartments in Las Vegas and this was a really fun conversation to listen to.

As we embark on our focus of talking with leasing experts around the industry, this was another great episode chalked full of takeaways.

Enjoy!

One of my favorite episodes on the podcast is the founder's story.

Hearing the what, how, and why behind starting a company is just so exciting.

Starting a podcast can seem daunting, but one of the common themes I hear when talking to other podcast hosts is this: "I wish we'd started sooner."

One of the first Multifamily podcasts I ever listened to was Apartments on the Go. The show is run by two cohosts, Matt Ruedlinger and Courtney Smith.

Not only are they great hosts of Apartments on the Go, but they are senior leaders at two powerhouse Multifamily Organizations.

Matt is the CEO and Founder of Triple R Marketing: https://www.triplermarketing.com/

We are in the thick of conference season in Multifamily.

Rent Dynamics is participating in 26 conferences in Q2 alone - so how to maximize these opportunities has certainly been on our mind.

Trevor Park joined to briefly talk through some of the ideas we have for ways that the conference experience could be elevated. Truthfully, both for suppliers who sponsor and for operators/clients who attend.

We'd love your take on this one and I hope you enjoy this quick listen.

Thanks for tuning in!

He's acquired 3,000 apartment units and plans to operate them using the Flow model. Which, is largely speculative - but seems to be here to create flexible living options for remote workers and those that want to live on the go.
