What are the Keystone Awards?

The Keystone Awards are a friendly competition where apartment communities are judged on their leasing abilities and offerings, maintenance readiness, and exterior community appearance.

The Keystone Awards are an annual competition in which properties are judged by an independent company by a secret shopping reporter. The shopper utilizes criteria developed by the Keystone Awards Committee to assess the properties overall performance - through the eyes of a prospective resident.

Why companies participate in the Keystone Awards:

• Shopping reports can be used as a training tool for new and existing employees.
• Incentive for property teams to excel and maintain a property they are proud of.
• Recognition as a premier property in PA.

The Keystone Awards registration is from March through mid-April. Properties are judged May through July, when at their peak performance.

When you register for the Keystone Awards there are two tracks to choose from:

• Property Awards are judged by age, type of property, size of property, and price.
• Individual Awards are to recognize specific team members who excel at their role.

Trilogy Award Submission Instructions:

For the Trilogy Award submission, you must complete each form separate of one another for Leasing, Maintenance, and Exterior Excellence.  Once you have submitted all three award applications, PAA will recognize your property as Trilogy Award Submission.  Because each form requires different fields to be completed, there is not one form that can be completed as a Trilogy Award Submission.
