I tried to call for Alex once before and he was on the phone with another prospect. I was told to try calling him back in a few. When I called back, I asked for Alex again and was placed on a brief hold he came to the phone. Once he arrived, he announced himself with his name. I told him that he had spoken to my husband previously regarding an apartment, but that he had gotten tied up and I was now taking over the search. He asked for my name and how I was doing. He was very friendly and pleased to assist me. He continued to use my name throughout the phone conversation. He did not ask me how I knew about the community.

Comments on the Demonstration (Please describe your experience while virtually touring with community with the Leasing Professional.):
Alex started off my showing me the different community amenities. He took me to view the leasing office, the resident common area, the business centers, gyms, pool/ lounge area, indoor basketball court, parking garage, pet spa, and sports lounge. He made sure to show all the community had to offer, as well as its proximity to the Columbia Mall. Next, he took me to view a vacant apartment. There was a cleaning crew in the apartment when we arrived; however, it did not deter us from the tour and the home was already clean and well maintained. He took me through each room, taking his time to describe the features and benefits. He allowed me the opportunity to ask questions at any time. He showed me where the available apartment would be in comparison to the vacant we were touring. It was very detailed. Alex showed his love for the property and the area.

Closing Comments (Please explain all the details of how the Leasing Professional attempted to close you at the end of the onsite visit. Also, explain your reason for not leasing that same day.):
Alex never asked if I wanted to apply for the apartment. I was not even made aware of how to apply if I was interested. Although the property was beautiful and Alex gave a great tour, I wouldn't lease from him specifically since I was still unaware of the costs of the apartments, which is very important. He did make himself available afterwards if I had any additional questions or concerns.
Fair Housing

When asked about the safety of the apartments, Alex stated that he could not guarantee anyone's safety, but that it was a nice area and he had not seen any incidents since working there. When asked if many children lived on the property, he said he could not answer that due to Fair Housing Laws, but that they have a variety of people living in the community- a little bit of everyone.
