The key benefits of PACE Awards include:
• Less is more
PMA has established criteria that will only honor truly exceptional properties. PACE is not a “feel good” competition. Instead, PACE establishes benchmarks for excellence in property management that can be used by all participants to improve the quality of management service provided to residents and owners.
• Constructive feedback
Every entrant receives judges’ evaluations of their community’s strengths and shortcomings.
• An easy button for marketing
Winners receive a marketing kit that they can use to promote their PACE recognition on their web and social media sites, in leasing offices, in print and in other media used to drive prospective resident traffic to their communities.
• Build teams
PACE provides management companies a tremendous teambuilding opportunity and a recognition program, especially for those at the site level.
• Increase occupancies
PMA will develop a case study of each winner that showcases why the community was honored. The case study will appear on PMA’s web site and on the PACE Awards web site. Winners can use the link from the PACE Awards site in their advertising and on their web and social media sites to help drive prospective residents to their communities.
Judging criteria
• Curb appeal
• Appearance, functionality and resident amenities (pool, fitness center, community room, outdoor recreational areas, etc.)
• Leasing center
• Maintenance facilities
• Model apartments
• Resident services
