Traditionally viewed as an entry-level role, the leasing agent position has evolved. Today’s agents must bring strong professionalism and specialized skills to the job. Finding a home can be stressful, and prospects deserve knowledgeable, well-trained agents who focus on building relationships—not just closing transactions.

Stephanie Oehler, Founder of Savvy Leasing, joins the podcast to discuss why sales is such an important part of the leasing process. Stephanie shares her top three tips for leasing and sales training: using value language to communicate what it feels like to live in your community; effective follow-up, which requires consistency, creativity, and customization; and changing your perspective so that you can be prepared, feel refreshed, and have a positive attitude when working with potential renters.

Further, she covers common misconceptions about the leasing and sales processes, and speaks to some of the services she provides.
