You should probably store the class (as a string) for each property at the same time as you store the propertyName. Maybe as a dictionary with property name as the key and class name as the value, or vice versa.

To get the class name, you can do something like this (put this right after you declare propertyName):

NSString* propertyAttributes = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:property_getAttributes(property)];
NSArray* splitPropertyAttributes = [propertyAttributes componentsSeparatedByString:@"\""];
if ([splitPropertyAttributes count] >= 2)
{
    NSLog(@"Class of property: %@", [splitPropertyAttributes objectAtIndex:1]);
}

The string handling code is because the attributes include a number of pieces of information - the exact details are specified here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjCRuntimeGuide/Articles/ocrtPropertyIntrospection.html
