At Red Propeller, a real estate strategy, storytelling, marketing, and sales company, apartment tenants aren’t just people who reside inside the firm’s many multifamily projects. Instead, they’re people whose positive experiences have transformed them into “full fledged fans.” In this episode, Jim Goldberg, Red Propeller’s Customer Experience Lieutenant, describes how his firm works to anticipate tenant needs, develop memorable stories, and turn tenant prospects into brand advocates who support the longevity of a project. Jim also discusses the innovative meaning behind the firm’s namesake and the unique ways they are shifting real estate’s focus from commodities to communities, where everyday experiences shape collective livelihoods.
