Background

BreadBox was founded by Justin Cleary, an industry leader with over 20 years of multifamily experience. Justin started his career in sales, real estate, and software, ultimately becoming VP of Sales at the age of 23 of a mid-market consulting firm.

After leaving that position, Justin decided to dive headfirst into the multifamily business by founding The Philly Apartment Company in 2004. From just 2 staff in 2004, Justin grew the business to over 25 staff which have leased over 10,000 apartments to date, ultimately becoming the largest apartment leasing Brokerage in Philadelphia.

Along the way, Justin has started and managed several other start-ups including BlueSquare Real Estate & Property Management, a 3rd party management company and his latest venture, LeaseUp, a national outsourced leasing service & brokerage.

ReMarketing - The Secret Weapon of Apartment Leasing

So you're browsing the internet. Let's say you're on Amazon.com. You view some items then decide to check the news over at CNN.com. Magically, you start to see ads for products you just saw on Amazon on the CNN site. How did they know? Is it magic? Some kind of sorcery? No, it's Remarketing. Remarketing is a relatively new way of showing targeted ads to individuals that have previously visited your website - as they browse elsewhere on the internet. It has been primarily used by big retailers over the last couple of years with great success and now, could be a game changer for the multifamily industry. Remarketing & Apartment Marketing One of the most significant deficiencies in the apartment marketing world has been brand awareness and website conversion. Let's say Jane Renter is browsing your website. She likes your building but isn't ready to pull the trigger. She leaves and keeps browsing the internet. You've now lost her as a lead. You've ...

IDEAS FOR RENT - Developing a Reputation Management Plan

Let's be honest. Very few in our industry like online review websites. They are a constant struggle. Very rarely do they provide a sound mechanism to generate leads and more often than not, they lead to bad reputations, decreased lead generation, and fewer renewals.

Top 5 "Kid Friendly" Amenities for Apartment Communities

I recently posed a question to a group of developers...What if you started looking at your communities from the standpoint of children being the residents, instead of the adults?  Now obviously, I'm not talking about a community where every unit is filled with slides and see-saws or kids roaming the grounds like Lords of the Flies. But it's a question to highlight what can be done if the primary motivation for the planning of amenity space, marketing and the overall feel of a community was done with children in mind. With 33% of all renter households (14.3 million) having minor children, it's an important question. And as more and more residents with children decide to rent instead of buy, having a true "family friendly" community can become a huge differentiator in the marketing and retention of tenants. So what would a community that is designed around the family and actual children look like? Onsite Daycare This may be a game changer when it comes t...
