Unique Services to Offer
According to Collier, students are like young professionals who are looking for convenience. The more services offered by a complex, the more attractive it will become to students. At his properties, residents can choose to have the management team turn on the utilities, so that when they move in, the phone, cable and electric will be operating.
Depending on the market, some students look for furnished complexes. For example, all of JPI's student housing projects are furnished. Because trends change, some owners work with furniture leasing companies as an alternative to having all of their units furnished.
Integroup offers roommate matching services. They developed a special property management computer program in which they enter a student's responses from a list of personality questions to help them find a roommate. Once the students are matched, they are given an opportunity to meet to decide if they want to live together.
