I did my first charges after move out for the security deposits. I worked off our sheets on the prices but I decided myself how much the actual work was worth in dollars. The room I reviewed was a decent amount of extra work to make ready for move in. […]

Today we had an interesting experience with a resident. We had a work order in which we needed to go into this person’s apartment and upon arriving the tenant was unaware of any work order requests. 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 […]

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 […]

We had a very busy Saturday at the Vue today. Showing after showing with constant traffic throughout the building. I had a showing booked every hour and some walk-ins between them. It was good to keep busy and on my feet, hopefully we will have some applications come through for […]

I’ve had unfortunate luck with my own water heater in my apartment. I had to call the maintenance guy and together he taught me all about water heaters. It was very funny to replace my own water heater on the Sunday before 4th of July. My showers are finally hot […]

We had our monthly Community Director meeting that my CD was kind enough to invite me to. I had the opportunity  to learn about other properties and what they’re doing right to help better myself. We also went over what the expectations are and what we can do to help […]

We are hosting an ice cream social event to welcome new tenants and show appreciation to current tenants. We have invited a few vendors out that provide services for us to help negotiate prices with people as well as promote themselves. People are loving the opportunity to lower their cable […]
