Leasing Professional's overall attitude and impression: Meagan was very professional, personable and helpful in answering my questions.
Leasing Professional's strongest points: Meagan was very knowledgeable about the apartments and she we helpful in showing me around and pointing out all of the specifics of the apartment and community amenities.
Leasing Professional's weakest points: During the initial phone call, there were a lot of pauses or silences during the conversation. I had to ask Meagan what would be the next step to prompt her to invite me in. When Meagan quoted me prices, she didn’t attempt to tell me any value-added information such as what was included in the rent. As we were on the phone Meagan didn’t promote any area conveniences and she didn’t ask me what community amenities were important to my daughter who would be attending JHU.

Comment (You must provide a brief summary under each category. This section is mandatory.):
Meagan asked what size apartment I needed and when I needed to move in. I told her I needed a one bedroom in the November timeframe. Timing was a bit flexible I said. I told her that I would be renting the apartment for my daughter who was moving back to the area to attend JHU. Meagan asked if she had any pets, but we really did not discuss this until the on-site tour. She asked how I learned about the community and I told her through the internet, most likely from apartment.com website. Meagan checked and she told me that she does have a one-bedroom currently available and the next one would not be available until December. I said the November timeline would work well for our needs. The one-bedrooms start at $1,146. The one coming in December is $1,151. And the one available now is $1,266. This all works within my budget, but I asked why the one was $1,266. Meagan said the price was more because it is a renovated unit.

Comment (You must provide a brief summary under each category. This section is mandatory.):
Meagan asked if I wanted to see amenities first or the apartment? I told her to pick and we started the tour in the basement where she showed me the laundry room, trash room, and fitness center. She was very much in control of the tour and very informative. She moved at a nice pace, she did not rush me through. Meagan was concerned about COVID, so she had me take the elevator to each location while she went up and down the stairs. This made me feel very comfortable. She did not talk about staff or maintenance.
We toured the actual vacant apartment I would be renting. It was clean and well kept. Meagan pointed out the hardwood floors in the apartment that were important. I asked a little about the community and Meagan assured me that there were a lot of restaurants and carry out places very close by within walking distance. She did not ask about a current living situation or what needed to be changed. She knew my interest in the area was the proximity to JHU.

Comment (You must provide a brief summary under each category. This section is mandatory.):
My main objection was to having hardwood floors, which this apartment offered. I was also worried about my daughter's safety and security while living alone. Meagan pointed out the locks on the doors and the fact that each unit had double doors with locks on each door. The apartment was secure and you either had to have a code or buzzed in to gain entrance. This made me comfortable so Meagan didn't have to clarify what I meant nor confirm that she handled my objection.

Meagan created urgency by saying there was only one apartment available at this time and that apartments went fast in this community. She urged me to apply quickly and talked about being able to apply on line. She wanted me to bring my daughter to see the property.
