During this rapidly changing and challenging time, RealPage is exploring every opportunity that will help our customers and the industry as a whole maintain optimum performance with the most current data, expert insights and practices you can start implementing to positively impact outcomes.
On Tuesday, March 24, RealPage’s Asset Optimization team, including Jay Parsons, Keith Dunkin and Andrew Bowen, will host the live webcast, COVID-19: Impact on Apartment Pricing, and discuss:
- How should apartment owners and operators approach pricing during a pandemic without overreacting?
- How do you balance expected limited demand, high retention and proceeding with caution around public reaction to rent hikes?
- How will the approach differ by asset class and asset strategy?
- Immediate measures you can start taking to fortify portfolio performance.
No one has all the answers in these unprecedented circumstances, but in this live and highly interactive webcast, we will do our best to address your questions.
