Information
Agent: Aanchal Singh
JOB#: 26951_093020215
Shopper Name: Joyce McCoy
Property Name: Penn Garrison
Address: 915 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, USA
Leasing Professional's overall attitude and impression: Aanchal had a very positive attitude and was dressed professionally.
Leasing Professional's strongest points: Aanchal was enthusiastic and willing to show me several apartments. She also told me about other buildings that she managed which I may be interested in touring. She was professional and friendly. I felt comfortable touring with her. She had an inviting personality.
Leasing Professional's weakest points: Aanchal moved at an even pace as I was viewing the apartments; However, she didn’t take time to review my needs/wants in my new home. She did not ask me over the phone nor in person what apartment/community amenities I desired so I didn’t think she was that prepared upon my visit. She made no attempt to close me at the end by reviewing pricing and she said she would send me a follow-up email with prices but I never received her follow-up email.
Overall Comments: Overall, the building and apartments showed well. Even though Aanchal was professional and friendly she didn’t use those assets to connect with me and learn more about my apartment search. I guess my business was not that important to her since she did not follow-up with me. I never received an email or text from her.
