The Placement Dependency Calculator

What is placement agency dependency really costing your community, and what would owning your pipeline be worth instead? Enter your numbers below. Estimates use your inputs and stated assumptions only, no inflated projections.

Your Community's Numbers

Please fill in every field above with a number of zero or greater.
YOUR ESTIMATED ANNUAL PLACEMENT DEPENDENCY COST
$0
At your current reliance, that is $0 over five years.

Most communities never see this number in one place. The fees arrive one invoice at a time.

Your Year in Placement Fees

The fees arrive one invoice at a time. Here is what they look like accumulating across a calendar year, next to a transition path where owned referrals gradually replace half your agency move-ins.

Transition path is illustrative: owned referrals phased in across the year to replace half of agency move-ins by December. Both paths use only your inputs and assume rates stay constant. Your actual figures will vary.

The Outgrow-Them Path: What Conversion Is Worth

Your community converts 0% of tours today. Improving that by ten points, the shift most communities achieve through discovery and follow-up discipline, produces:

Additional move-ins per month at +10 points conversion0
Additional monthly revenue from the same tours$0
Annual fee savings if owned referrals replace half your agency move-ins$0

Illustrative scenario, not a guarantee. Results depend on your starting point, team, and consistency. The point is direction: conversion improvement and owned referrals compound, fees only repeat.

What This Usually Means

The communities working hardest to generate more leads are often the same ones losing the most opportunities during the sales process. The issue is rarely effort. It is usually a breakdown in discovery, follow-up, or consistency, and once seen clearly, these gaps are almost always fixable without increasing marketing spend.

Where Most Communities See the Fastest Gains

Strengthen discovery conversations. Improve follow-up discipline. Make tour-to-move-in visible to the team. Build just one referral channel intentionally. Focus on moving two behaviors from inconsistent to consistent, that is usually enough to shift census momentum.

You don't eliminate placement agencies. You outgrow them.
