Comments on the Demonstration (Please describe your experience while virtually touring with community with the Leasing Professional.):
Kataya walked me through a two-bedroom townhome vacant. Although this unit was not available for move-in, Kataya explained that the home she has available had been upgraded with recessed lighting and the kitchen was more open to the family room. Because this unit is currently having countertops put in, we could not tour the actual townhome, but Kataya painted a nice picture of how it would look. She also showed me pictures of the upgrades that she had on her phone. We walked through at an even pace, Kataya letting me take my time looking at everything. She did ask me what I thought and how I liked what I was seeing so I attribute this question to an early closing question yet she never asked me about directly applying at the end of the tour. We had a nice conversation where she learned a little about me, all the while talking about the attributes of the apartments and townhomes in this community.
I asked about security, as I work very late some nights. Although this community does not have security on-site, Kataya pointed the parking is well lit at night.

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.):
Kataya did mention that sometimes they run specials, but had nothing going on at this time. There really was not any urgency in renting the apartment today, nor did Kataya ask me to apply that day. She did give me a paper application. She did say she would follow up with an email which she did but I never received a phone call.
Even though Kataya did nothing to close the deal that same day, I thought this was a great visit and will be memorable to me because of Kataya's professionalism. She seemed to want to help me find the apartment that would perfectly fit my needs. She was easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable as a future resident of the community.
