While pricing recommendations by RealPage were not binding, any rejection of a recommendation was escalated to an employee within RealPage. Afterwards, a “pricing advisor” would reach out to property managers and landlords to push them to take the recommendation.

It’s likely going to turn out that Covid has fucked our brains in ways we don’t understand yet. The before and after difference is too extreme to be caused by a collective trauma from 4 years ago. If that was really the problem, we would be over it by now and back to normal.
