Lower Move-In Costs Mean Higher Conversion
For applicants who need a guarantor — international students, first-time renters, anyone without U.S. credit history — the guarantor premium is often the last hurdle standing between "interested" and "signed."
In internal testing, PandaGuarantee has found its premiums cost tenants meaningfully less than comparable guarantor policies on the market, in some cases up to 40% difference less depending on the profile and applicant terms: Panda has been seen charging $2000 for a profile other guarantors will charge more than $3100.
That difference isn't just a tenant perk. It's a leasing tool. Lower move-in costs mean fewer applicants stall out at the last step, fewer units sitting vacant while a prospect shops for a cheaper option, and a smoother path from "approved" to "signed lease" — which matters most exactly when you need it most: during a high-volume lease-up. $1000 in savings is exactly the kind of difference that can increase conversion and fill units.
A Seamless Invite System
We built our platform so leasing staff don't have to manage another clunky, manual process during the busiest weeks of the year. Inviting an applicant to apply for a PandaGuarantee policy is simple and fast — no back-and-forth, no chasing paperwork, no separate portal logins to manage. Leasing teams can send an invite in seconds and let the applicant take it from there, with visibility into where each applicant stands in the process. After the invite, the next communication the leasing team will receive is the bond.
For a lease-up, where volume is high and timelines are tight, that simplicity compounds. Less friction per applicant means your team can move through a bigger pool of prospects without the process becoming the bottleneck.
Built for the Pace of a Lease-Up
Lease-ups don't have room for slow guarantor approvals or applicants dropping off because of cost or confusion. PandaGuarantee is designed to remove both obstacles — lower cost to improve conversion, and a seamless invite flow to remove friction from your team's side. Backed by a licensed U.S. insurance carrier, and licensed in New York State.
If you're planning a lease-up and want to see how PandaGuarantee fits into your leasing workflow, we'd welcome the conversation.
