Apartment Leasing Agents must be persuasive when negotiating on behalf of their clients. Do you consider yourself a persuasive person?

Part of being an excellent Leasing Agent is also having the power of persuasion when necessary. There is a difference between persuasion and debating - or even convincing. Persuasion is used when you want to influence someone rather than tell them that they are wrong, and you are right.

The power of persuasion is essential if you are selling or pitching anything. It is also a valuable skill when you want to gain momentum with your coworkers or have a property owner better understand your approach on a project.

It is not a negative thing to be persuasive. Talk to the interviewer about whether or not you consider yourself to be a persuasive individual.

"I can be persuasive when it comes to helping my clients to understand the logic, or reason, behind a decision that I feel is important for their property. It's important to lay out the intentions of any change and then express the importance of those changes."
