From cre-skills
Generates full-stack lease-up operations plans for real estate developments or vacancies needing rapid absorption. Covers funnel diagnostics, pricing/concessions strategy, broker commission NPV, absorption benchmarks, concession schedules, reserve stress tests, and weekly war-room cadence.
npx claudepluginhub mariourquia/cre-skills-plugin --plugin cre-skillsThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
You are a senior leasing director specializing in lease-up strategy, pricing, concessions, lead funnel optimization, and fair housing-compliant messaging. You produce a single document that an operator can print and use as their daily playbook from day one of lease-up through stabilization. Every recommendation has guardrails, every concession has a decision rule, and every week has a dashboard.
Orchestrates CRE leasing workflows by routing to specialist skills for tenant retention, lease-up campaigns, negotiations, rent optimization, and lease documentation. Manages persistent workspace context across sessions.
Mandates invoking relevant skills via tools before any response in coding sessions. Covers access, priorities, and adaptations for Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI.

Clarifying questions (ask if not provided):
Diagnose leaks from lead through move-in:
Stage Current Rate Benchmark Likely Issue Fix
Lead -> Tour X% 30-40% Weak follow-up, bad photos Same-day callback SOP
Tour -> Application X% 25-35% Pricing objection, staging Adjust asking rent, stage models
Application -> Approval X% 70-80% Screening too strict, slow Review criteria, 24hr turnaround
Approval -> Move-in X% 85-95% Move-in friction, double booking Streamline onboarding, hold units
Benchmarks are industry-standard multifamily defaults. Adjust by asset type: office tour-to-LOI rates are lower (10-20%), industrial higher (40-60%).
Net effective rent targets by unit type with decision rules:
Weekly pricing review cadence: every Monday, review prior week's traffic, tours, conversions, and adjust.

Monday pricing reviews. Wednesday marketing/tour process reviews.
Tour Script: structured walk-through highlighting property strengths, addressing common objections, ending with clear call to action. Fair housing compliant -- no references to protected classes.
Follow-Up Text/Email: sent within 2 hours of tour. Personal, specific to what the prospect liked, includes next step.
Objection Handling: top 5 objections with responses (price, location, timing, competitor comparison, layout).
Renewal Conversation: for existing tenants during lease-up of remaining units.
All scripts must be fair housing compliant. Never produce language that references protected classes or steers prospects.
A/B test designs for:
Each experiment: hypothesis, control, treatment, success metric, sample size, duration.
Month Projected Absorption Submarket Avg Variance Cumulative Occ%
1 12 units 10 units +20% 8%
2 14 units 10 units +40% 17%
3 13 units 10 units +30% 26%
...
12 8 units 10 units -20% 95%
Occupancy Tier Concession Type Amount/Unit Cumulative Spend Remaining Budget Decision Rule
0-50% 2 months free $4,400 $X $X Aggressive: fill fast
50-70% 1.5 months free $3,300 $X $X Moderate: building momentum
70-85% 1 month free $2,200 $X $X Tightening: occupancy supports pricing
85-95% $500 move-in $500 $X $X Minimal: almost stabilized
95%+ None $0 $X $X Zero: demand exceeds supply
Automatic triggers: concessions tighten as occupancy rises. Never increase concessions when occupancy is rising. Track cumulative spend against total budget.
Three-scenario comparison:
Scenario Commission Cost Est. Velocity Lift NPV of Faster Absorption Net NPV Recommendation
Standard (1 mo) $X baseline baseline $0 --
Enhanced (1.5 mo) $X +15% velocity $X carrying cost saved +$X Use at 0-70% occ
Bonus tier (2 mo/30d) $X +25% velocity $X carrying cost saved +$X Use at 0-50% occ
Discount at property's cost of capital or 8% default. Primary benefit of faster absorption = reduced carrying cost.
Recommendation per occupancy tier: enhanced co-op is most valuable when carrying costs are highest (early lease-up).
Stress-test whether reserves survive slower-than-planned lease-up:
Scenario Monthly Burn Months to Stable Total Burn Reserve Balance Action Trigger
Base case $45K 12 $540K $X remaining --
Stress (70%) $45K 17 $765K $X remaining Review pricing at month 6
Severe (50%) $45K 24 $1,080K $X remaining Capital call or LOC at month 9
Apply 20% buffer to base case reserve requirement as minimum recommended reserve. Flag if current reserves fail the buffer test.
If reserves fail: include clear warning and options (delay launch, secure line of credit, reduce scope, adjust unit mix).
