ATLANTA MULTIFAMILY PROFESSIONAL - LEASING CERTIFICATION | AMP
The AMP education program is a comprehensive program designed specifically for Leasing Professionals working in the industry for six months or less, as well as individuals wanting a career in the multifamily industry. This three-day workshop includes two and a half days in the classroom, one half-day onsite, plus online training as homework.
I registered several team members for the AMP course immediately after reading the course curriculum. After completing the 3-day course taught by Lia Smith our associates were motivated, educated, and ready to lease! They expressed a great sense of accomplishment and raved about the entire course experience which they felt provided a strong foundation to start their property management careers. Lia was a phenomenal teacher and was able to engage both our brand new Marketing Representatives as well as those with industry experience. They felt they were able to integrate the course materials into their own day to day operations as well as specific closing and customer service techniques. I would recommend this course for any associate that is new to the property management industry. Every new Marketing Representative attends this course and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
