Company and Property Nomination Judging
These tips will help you successfully judge Company and Property GSA Nominations
All property classes should be judged on the following:
- Is the property safe? Are you seeing well maintained and safe communities, (i.e. no broken walkways, etc.)?
- Are they completing basic upkeep, including pulling weeds, painting, cleaning, etc. For example, C class properties should not be penalized for having an older entrance sign but should be marked down if weeds are so high they are covering the sign.
- Also, please be aware for all properties grass may not be green given hot weather, drought conditions, etc.
- Always keep in mind that the onsite teams are at the mercy of the funds/budgets the property can sustain so judge accordingly.
- The key to judging fairly is to ensure there is pride of ownership. If a Class A property has beautiful landscaping, finishes and amenities but it is evident the team doesn’t maintain it properly than they should be scored on that basis. On the flip side, if a Class C property has limited amenities and older finishes but there isn’t a piece of trash on the grounds, that should be considered as it indicates the team is very prideful of their property and takes their responsibility to their residents and ownership very seriously.
For judging property awards, please keep in mind that you will likely be judging properties of various classes, (A, B, C, and Affordable.) It is important that when reviewing each property, you keep in mind the class and evaluate it appropriately. Please download the classification notes to reference when judging using the button below:
