EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Leasing Professional's overall attitude and impression: Carlos was very friendly and helpful. He had a warm personality and it was easy to connect with him
Leasing Professional's strongest points: Carlos helpful and friendly personality. He was very well versed during his onsite demonstration about the building and availability along with pricing.
Leasing Professional's weakest points: I began calling Carlos on Tuesday, 10/13. After playing phone tag I finally caught up with him the following day only to learn he had been off on 10/13. Perhaps he should have changed his voicemail to reflect his day off and re-direct me to an agent that was working that day. Carlos is soft spoken so with wearing the mask, it was sometimes difficult to understand him.
Overall Comments: Carlos was very accommodating, ready to meet with me right after I called to inquire about apartments. He is new to the community, but I would not have known it if he had not told me. He seemed comfortable, confident and knowledgeable about the apartments he is representing.

Telephone Greeting Comments (Please provide the Telephone Greeting in the comment box below. Explain all your "No" or "NA" answers.) How many rings before the Leasing Professional picked up?:
I initially called on October 13, 2020 to talk to Carlos and make an appointment to visit with him. Carlos answered but asked if he could call me back. Carlos called back within a few minutes, but I missed the call. I called him back immediately, the phone rang several times and went to voice mail. I hung up, but within minutes Carlos called me back a second time. I returned his call within a few minutes but this time it went to voice mail. I left a message but he did not return my call. I called again and no answer. I finally sent Carlos a text asking to set up a firm time to schedule a call this day because I was extremely busy with work phone calls and did not want to keep playing telephone tag. He did not answer this message. He never returned my calls or text. When I finally called the next day and visited Carlos, he was apologetic for the missed calls the day before. Apparently, the day I was originally calling was a day he was not scheduled to work, he was not at the community. He was overwhelmed with other calls he was catching up on. He was extremely apologetic and so nice that I couldn't be annoyed with the missed calls.
On the second day I called, Carlos answered the phone promptly and introduced himself and the community. I introduced myself since we were playing telephone tag the day before. He greeted me using my name. I told him I was checking on availability of their apartments. My first impression was Carlos has a nice personality and he was professional.

Comments on the Demonstration (Please describe your experience while virtually touring with community with the Leasing Professional.):
Carlos walked me through three different apartments. We walked at a pace so that I could take everything in. The first two apartments were certainly move-in ready, but the third had a little bit of a problem in the kitchen. The stove was in terrible shape. But Carlos assured me that this kitchen was going to be updated with all new stainless appliances before move-in. We also discussed having the carpet pulled up to expose the original hardwood flooring in the building, as in the other two previously visited apartments. Carlos was enthusiastic about the community and apartments in general. He appreciated the charm of the authentic features of the building. I was very surprised when I learned that Carlos has only been in this community for two weeks! He was certainly comfortable and knowledgeable about that apartments and community overall.

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.):
Based on meeting Carlos today, I would absolutely want to rent an apartment from him. He was so friendly and easily drew you in. He was confident, came across as really appreciating this property. He told me to go online to apply as soon as possible so I would not miss out on the apartment (the third one) that I liked best. He was extraordinary because of his extremely likable personality. He took time to learn a little about me personally, we learned we were both from PG county. Carlos was well versed even though he had only been at this community for only a few weeks.
Carlos asked me when would I start the application process and I told him I had more places to see. He went on to tell me how quickly the application process takes. He told me to call him but he didn't say he would follow up with a phone call to me.
