Marketing a multifamily community today means competing for attention in a crowded, fast-moving market. People shop for a home the way they shop for everything else: online, on their phones, comparing options in minutes. This class gives leasing and management professionals a practical, current playbook for meeting renters where they are and keeping them once they sign.

We’ll explore the social media trends driving reach and engagement right now, including short-form video, authentic content, and the platforms worth your time. We’ll look at how AI is already reshaping leasing and marketing, from 24/7 chatbots and content creation to the guardrails every team needs to use it responsibly. We’ll reframe resident retention as a marketing function that starts at the very first touchpoint, not at renewal time, and we’ll tackle the question on everyone’s mind: how do you make your property stand out when the community down the street is offering the same special?

Throughout, we’ll weave in the Fair Housing considerations that modern marketing raises, from advertising and targeting to AI tools, so your creativity stays compliant. Expect an interactive session with several “turn and talk” moments, real examples, and a take-home action plan you can put to work immediately.
