This blog post was updated on December 7, 2021, to reflect new features offered by Community Rewards.

Your social network is one of the most powerful tools in your life’s tool box. As an example, according to LinkedIn, 70% of people land their jobs by having a connection at a company. Some surveys even put that number closer to 85%. 

We can imagine why: you want to work with people you know and like. Don’t you want to live with people you know and like, too? That’s why you should refer a friend to The Pointe Brodie Creek!

In addition to being voted as the Best Apartment Complex in Arkansas by our residents several years running, there are number of reasons why you should feel comfortable referring people to our luxury apartment community. 

From the financial to the psychological, here are the benefits you should consider before tapping into your network of colleagues, family, and friends.

#1: Referral Points

The most obvious reason why you should refer a friend to The Pointe Brodie Creek is a financial one. 

Right now, you can earn an unlimited amount of points for your referrals by utilizing our Community Rewards program. As you earn points, you can redeem those points for cash in the form of gift cards to the retailer of your choice!

So, how does it work? You just need to use the Refer Your Friends feature in your Community Rewards dashboard! 

By tapping on that feature, you will be provided a referral link you can send to your friend so they can view the property profile and submit their contact information.

Next, we will contact your referral to confirm they are a legitimate lead interested in living in our luxury apartment community. If they are, you get 750 points. If they move in, you get another 20,000 points!

#2: Know Your Neighbors

When you live somewhere like a dorm or a house, there is no way to pick and choose who gets to be your neighbor. But, at an apartment community like The Pointe Brodie Creek, you can! In a way, when you refer a friend to live here, you are selecting who your next neighbor will be.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know your neighbors before they move in? Keep reading to find out why these relationships are so important.

#3: Socializing Made Easy

Not everyone considers themselves to be a social butterfly. If you are one of those people, attempting to make new friends in social situations is not very fun. But, when you have a friend living here with you, community living will become easier to navigate and enjoy.

Our apartment community is a real community, as we have regular social events like Thirsty Thursday that encourage everyone to get to know one another. Socializing also happens naturally all the time at community amenities the pool and the pet park.

With a friend by your side, you will always have someone there to be your pool game opponent, weight-lifting spotter, or movie night buddy.

#4: Built-In Sitters

Planning on taking a vacation soon? You will need someone to water your plants and feed your cat, right? Instead of hiring a stranger, you could have a friendly neighbor become your built-in apartment sitter. If you have a friend living in the community, you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your home is under control.

Then, when your friend goes out of town, you can return the favor.

#5: Food for the Soul

Friendships and acquaintanceships have an immense impact on your quality of life. In 2014, a Rutgers University study on neighbor relationships found that “having continuously low levels of contact with neighbors, or losing contact with them altogether” caused people to have “declining levels of psychological well-being.”

Additionally, a study done at the University of British Columbia concluded that having more acquaintances and more interactions with those acquaintances correlated to higher feelings of happiness.

Isn’t that interesting? Beyond having close friendships, it’s clearly important to have relationships with all kinds of people just to have positive interactions throughout your day. Your neighbors, co-workers, cousins, classmates, teammates, etc. all matter when it comes to feeling fulfilled in all aspects of your life.

At The Pointe Brodie Creek, we want you to happy. Don’t be a hermit – get out there and network! Refer a friend, colleague, acquaintance, or family member and keep people around you that feed your soul. The community will be better for it, trust us.
