BOMI: Leasing & Marketing for Property Managers will take place on Tuesdays & Thursdays - July 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29, and 31. Class will be held virtual via Zoom from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. and will be taught by James Russell, director, asset services, Cushman & Wakefield. Leasing & Marketing for Property Managers is a resource and how-to-guide for property managers who have been assigned the additional responsibility of leasing. The course covers everything from working with owners and prospective tenants, to creating marketing and leasing plans, to writing the actual lease. You will be provided with websites, techniques, and valuable resources to smooth your transition from property manager to leasing agent. As a property manager/leasing agent, you must be effective in placing customer needs ahead of other considerations. You must be able to respond rapidly to change, anticipate trends, and present your building more persuasively than the competition can. Furthermore, you must know that a signed lease at the end of the sale process is the true beginning of marketing efforts, because it is cheaper to keep a tenant than to have to spend money finding a new one. If you have any questions or would like to register, please reach out to Kathryn Morgan at kmorgan@gbreb.com. 

Join BOMA’s Emerging Professionals at the Sunset Social, which will be held on Wednesday, July 16th at Harpoon Brewery from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Members and guest will enjoy an industry networking reception with great drinks, food and lawn games.
