What is the best certification for a leasing agent?
If you work as a leasing agent in the multifamily property industry, the National Apartment Leasing Professional (NALP) certification is the first certification you should obtain. NALP can help you learn more about leasing, enhance your selling skills, and gain recognition in your career.

Improve your selling skills
Success as a leasing professional relies heavily on selling skills. NALP certification can help you become a top producer. You’ll learn to:

Advance your career
NALP certification indicates strong leasing skills and dedication to the industry. It can give you an edge when it comes to hiring, promotion and earning potential. In an NAAEI survey of property companies, 67% of supervisors reported employees received a promotion, salary increase or one-time bonus after completing NALP.
Who is right for NALP certification?
NALP certification isn’t just for those new to leasing. No matter what stage of your career you’re in, NALP certification makes you a more valuable asset to your company. NALP certification requires a minimum of 6 months’ onsite leasing experience, but this requirement may be met during or after completion of coursework, Market Survey and exam. (During that period, you hold a Provisional NALP).
