On Friday of last week we had a very interesting situation take place. We had a resident come in saying that a little boy came up to her and asked her for some food because he said he hadn’t eaten all day. Upon hearing this, we went out and found […]

Yesterday was one of the slower days I’ve had in the office here at Silver Ridge Apartments. Throughout the day we were struggling to find something to do. Whether it’s auditing residents files, doing walk through’s in our buildings or sorting the mail, there is always something to do even […]

So earlier this week we had a very interesting couple come into our leasing office. They smelled of alcohol and cigarette smoke and were pretty aggressive in their attempt to schedule a tour to look at an apartment. The wife could barley stand and the husband was slurring his words […]

So Today I transitioned from my first property at Bigos property management to my second property that I will be working at. My new property is much closer to my home so the transition has been an easy one. I believe the quality of my new property is slightly lower […]

Today is my last day at my first of two properties with Bigos Management. It’s bitter sweet because I’m really going to miss my crew that I have here and really enjoy the property itself. However, the new property I’m going to is only 5 minutes away from my house […]

When the maintenance person went through the apartment he found some paraphernalia and complained […]

This past week (7/5-7/8) was one of the shorter and more hectic weeks I’ve been apart of in my short stint with this property. Due to the intense storm we had on Tuesday night 7/5, almost half of our property was without power until the afternoon of Friday 7/8. In […]

So this past week I went on my first showing. I wasn’t expecting to go on any showings at all on this particular day as I was still learning the process. But I was asked to do a showing and so I stepped up and did it. I was a […]

Starting on Friday we had people whose leases started on 7/1 begin the move in process. One tenant that we had moving in was very unsatisfied to say the least with their unit. When they toured their unit, they didn’t tour the unit they were going to be staying in […]
