Today has been a very slow day in our office. We didn’t have any appointments, move in’s, or move out’s. We only had a few people walk in and ask about the property and showings. It’s been nice to be able to catch up on all of the work that […]

Today, we had our Weidner cares day for our north region in Seattle. We went and helped paint, cleaned, and did landscaping. It was a fun day helping out a family in need and getting to know everyone in the north region.

We’ve had a lot of problems with the children in our community since it’s summer. The children in the community have been playing in the parking lot a lot, have had no adult supervision, and are out until late at night. We had to send out a child notice to […]

This week our community director took the week off for vacation so we’ve had to do our jobs and hers for the week. It was a hectic week with a lot of work, but we managed to all work together and get everything done that needed to be done. Having […]

One of our previous residents left his apartment with fleas. We though we had the problem taken care of until we moved someone into that apartment and had to emergency transfer them out of it within a week due to fleas. We had the exterminator come back and take care […]

On top of all of the move outs we’ve had this week, we’ve also had a lot of calls about rent, since it is the holiday weekend. We give residents from the 1st to the 3rd to pay their rent, and as of the 4th their rent becomes late and […]

Since it’s the end of the month, we’ve had a lot of move outs scheduled for this week. Today we had 8 move outs. I got to work side-by-side with our leasing manager in moving everyone out and see how different every case is of a move out. It’s sad […]

Market survey’s are pretty common phone calls we receive through out the week. They’re basically phone calls with other properties trying to compare our numbers to theirs. Some people straight up tell you they’re doing a market survey, and other’s pretend like they actually want to rent from you and […]

Once a month we have a team meeting, where our team, which is our sister properties, meet and talk about how the team is doing and what is happening at all of the other properties within our team. It was interesting getting to hear about all of the other properties […]

This morning upon arriving to work, we had learned that our club house was broken into the night before after everyone was gone. Someone had thrown a rock through the window and broke the glass, causing the alarms to go off. Since we have cameras all around the club house, […]

Since I’m still pretty new, I’ve only given a few tours on my own and I’ve learned that no matter how much time you have to prepare for a tour, sometimes it’s just not enough time. I’ve had this couple who had an appointment set up for over a week […]

Today at the office, I worked with our community director all day. It was interesting getting to see what she does on a daily basis. Everyone comes to her with all of their problems, no matter how big or small, and she has to sign off on everything before employees […]
