🎥 Scroll, Rent, Repeat: The Leasing Hack Your Community Needs

Influencer marketing is shaking up multifamily harder than a resident who just realized their rent reminder went to spam.

Communities everywhere are turning to creators—especially those who’ve mastered the TikTok + Instagram reel-to-renter pipeline—to show off apartment living, hype amenities, and build trust with future residents.

They’re doing “moving day” tours, unboxing air fryers in your kitchens, and casually dropping “5 things I love about my new apartment” to an audience of thousands.
And guess what? It works.

Running influencer marketing in-house is like running a 24/7 block party—you’re always on, always managing, and always putting out little fires.

There’s vetting.
Messaging.
Approvals.
Compliance.
Scheduling.
And the occasional rogue post where someone “keeps it real” about your paper-thin walls.

Then there’s the flaming red flags:

• Fake followers and inflated engagement
• Disgruntled residents going live from the leasing office about “mold”
• Bots named “SexyBot94” liking all your content

🚫 Gen Z Hates Commercials (And I Have Proof)

I have an 18-year-old and a 22-year-old. When they found out my husband and I (shoutout Gen X) don’t pay extra for commercial-free Netflix, you would’ve thought we’d admitted to eating drywall for dinner.

“I would literally lose my mind,” my 18-year-old said.
“Commercials? During a movie?? Absolutely not.”
“I HATE commercials,” added my 22-year-old, rolling his eyes into another dimension.

Here’s why that matters to you: those are your future residents.
In fact, my 22-year-old is actively apartment shopping—and if you think he’s going to sit through an ad to find your community, bless your heart.

This generation isn’t Googling “1-bedroom apartments near me.” They’re searching TikTok and Instagram Reels to see what their peers—also known as influencers—are saying. And if your community isn’t there? You might as well still be on Ask Jeeves.

💰 Why Influencers Win on ROI

Forget giant ad spends and hoping for the best. Influencers cut through the noise with:

• Built-in trust (their followers are your future renters)
• Peer-to-peer authenticity (feels like a friend’s recommendation, not a sales pitch)
• Laser targeting (you’re spearfishing, not casting a net)
• Reusable content (paid for once, works on your channels forever)

🙌 The Impact Goes Beyond Gen Z

Yes, they’re your future renters—but so are the Gen X’ers doing TikTok dances for cardio, hunting for wrinkle-proof makeup tips, or scrolling for air fryer hacks because dinner ideas ran out in 2018.

From college students to corporate relocations, the right influencer can speak to any local audience—exactly where they’re scrolling, in exactly the way they want to hear it.

😬 The Hard Part

Influencer marketing works—but it’s work:

• Finding influencers who align with your brand
• Writing briefs and reviewing content
• Tracking performance
• Coordinating schedules
• Ensuring Fair Housing compliance
• Fixing bad lighting at 10 pm because the bathroom tile looked “too yellow” 🙃

Software can help—but it’s pricey, and the learning curve is steep. And when it comes to unfiltered content? That’s where risk comes in.
