We are able to give prospects more flexibility than ever before; we are no longer too rigid in our lease terms and expirations, which enables us to provide a range of pricing that will meet a prospect’s needs.”

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 01, 2015 -- The Rainmaker Group, the leading provider of revenue management and profit optimization solutions to the multifamily housing and gaming/hospitality industries, announces that Strata Equity Group (Strata), a privately held real estate investment and development firm that owns approximately 8,000 multifamily units across the United States, has experienced an increase in pricing power since implementing Rainmaker LRO® as its revenue-management system in 2014. Armed with LRO’s mathematical, analytically driven and market-specific pricing recommendations, San Diego-based Strata is realizing effective rent increases up to 14 percent.

Prior to engaging LRO, Strata conducted its revenue management in-house and adjusted its rents on a weekly basis which was complicated and time consuming. The firm wasn’t reactive enough with its rent adjustments and as its multifamily portfolio grew from 2,000 units to 8,000 units, most of which are located in the Western United States. Strata executives knew they had to streamline the process and switch to a software-based revenue management system, said Mark Cheeseman, chief financial officer at Strata.

“We experienced huge growth over the course of the last year. We no longer had time to manage the revenue-management practices in-house,” Cheeseman said. “LRO has freed up a lot of time for our on-site teams and executive teams, while simultaneously having a tremendous benefit on our revenues. We have seen rent increases of more than $100 at some properties, and we are still getting traffic and leasing even while raising rents.”

After Strata implemented LRO across its entire multifamily portfolio last year, its on-site teams quickly embraced the system’s ease of use, its daily pricing adjustments and its ability to outline flexible leasing terms. “Our on-site teams love the simplicity. Because they know our pricing rates are correct to market, they are confident that we are offering the most competitive rates possible,” Cheeseman said. “Furthermore, we are able to give prospects more flexibility than ever before; we are no longer too rigid in our lease terms and expirations, which enables us to provide a range of pricing that will meet a prospect’s needs.”

Due to its tremendous growth in the last year Strata engaged a third-party property management company for about 5,000 of the Strata’s multifamily units in Atlanta, Denver and Houston. Although the property management company recommended a different revenue management solution, Cheeseman and Strata executives preferred using LRO. The adoption of a single platform ensures Strata greater visibility into performance of its entire portfolio and consistency among its pricing practices.

“LRO truly is the superior revenue management product in the industry,” Cheeseman said. “This has been a tremendous partnership. Rainmaker has provided outstanding guidance and helped us make LRO work best for our needs. We couldn’t be happier with the customer service; if there is a problem or question, they are on it immediately and until the problem is solved.”

“The positive impact on revenues that Strata has experienced is something we’ve seen time and time again with our LRO clients,” said Andrew Rains, president of Rainmaker LRO. “We are excited have been a part of this major transition in Strata Equity Group’s multifamily operations, and we look forward to working with them in the future to continue to secure significant rent growth.”

The system also produces enterprise-wide demand forecasts by measuring and analyzing historical and current market metrics and performing calculations necessary for occupancy predictions that are dynamically updated as market conditions change.
