If an agent reports a maintenance issue during a showing:

B. Prospective Tenant Interest
Follow up with the showing agent to determine:

- Whether the client has any questions or concerns about the property.
- Whether there is anything the team can clarify or assist with to help move the application process forward.
C. Additional Feedback
If the prospective tenant is not interested or remains undecided, request additional feedback when appropriate.
This may help identify concerns related to property condition, pricing, features, or other factors affecting leasing activity.
Relevant feedback should be shared with the appropriate team member for further review.
7. Communication and Follow-Up Expectations
The assigned team member should aim to:
- Review incoming communications during their scheduled monitoring days.
- Respond to leasing agents and prospective tenants in a timely manner.
- Route inquiries to the appropriate department or team member.
- Follow up on potential leasing opportunities.
- Request additional information when needed to properly address an inquiry.

8. Overall Objective
The purpose of this workflow is to maintain consistent communication, improve coordination between departments, and ensure that potential leasing and property management opportunities are not overlooked.
Every inquiry should be acknowledged, appropriately routed, and followed through whenever additional action is needed.
