REACT Client Testimonials
“COPT has utilized the CEL & Associates survey process since 2000 to compare the performance of our property management personnel, our tenant satisfaction and the overall condition of our properties to the best in the industry. Year after year COPT has used the survey results to focus on operational changes that have subsequently driven higher tenant satisfaction scores for 10 of the last 11 years. Overall tenant satisfaction has improved by 15% since 2000. The survey process has pushed our organization to constantly set the bar higher each year and has helped us create a culture of outstanding customer service. I highly recommend other firms utilize CEL & Associates to improve their tenant satisfaction!”

“As a long-term client of CEL & Associates, Greystar has taken advantage of CEL’s resident AND team member satisfaction surveys. Through CEL’s resident satisfaction surveys, our property managers have obtained great, actionable feedback that enables Greystar to enhance resident satisfaction and improve resident retention. CEL Team Member satisfaction survey has also been an important tool in making Greystar a great place to work. Because the team at CEL administers the survey, we’ve been able to provide our team members with a professional & confidential vehicle for providing us with candid feedback about how we can improve. We’ve benefitted both from the feedback, as well as the recommendations that come with CEL’s Executive Summaries.“
