Read MoreFile Audit
Working on my last file audit for the Minnesota properties. Glad to be almost done with these because they are painfully boring.
Read MoreLast Week…
This is my last week as an intern here at Bigos Property Management. These 10 weeks have really flown by and I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent with this company. They are really good to their employees at this company and give it a sort of family feel whenever your […]
Read MoreAwkward
Today I sat in on a pretty awkward situation between an employee and my boss. She had a relationship with another employee and it was prohibiting them from completing their work. One employee admitted to it and the other did not. HR did an investigation and found out that their […]
Read MoreSide Projects
Since this is my last week, i have been assisting in multiple side projects to keep myself busy. The first project was some excel coding to help HR view and manage their documents a little easier. The second reviewing all of the safety talks for the last 9 months for […]
Read MoreLast Day of Summer Internship
Today is my last day here at Vue in Minneapolis. I have learned a lot over the summer and had my share of unexpected issues arise that they always talk about in the property management industry. I will miss my team here and lots of the residents as well as […]
Read MoreMeeting with Excel
I had an interesting meeting with excel energy about putting underground in for stoplights instead of overhead. We wanted to discuss this because in the future the new road could go from three lanes to five lanes. If that happens Southern Estates does not want to be stuck with the […]

From what I’ve experienced here at Bigos Property Management has been nothing but amazing people, great properties and a positive work environment. Both sites I’ve been at as well as the corporate office is nothing but pleasant experiences and a good working atmosphere. However that’s not always the case with […]
Read MoreUnexpected Commission
So last week our office was experiencing a little bit of a hectic rush. I was just casually sitting at my desk doing some work through our CRM program and all of a sudden I was asked if I could do a tour. I happily agreed to do it, however […]
Read MoreBus Tour
Yesterday, various Bigos employees and myself boarded a bus and went around touring some of the other properties Bigos owned. It was interesting to see all the different layouts and amenities of other properties. It was like going on a showing but with a whole crew of property managers/leasing agents […]
Read MoreOffice Cleanup
This week has been extremely slow for me so I have been asking my coworkers if they have anything for me to do to keep myself busy. I talked the special services manager and he had some cleaning around the office that he had been meaning to get to but […]
Read MoreOaks Hiawatha Station
I spent the last four days working at a property over in Hiawatha, while the manager was gone on vacation. It is always nice to get out of the home office and get out onsite.
Read MoreCorporate Leases
Signed my first corporate lease today and boy was it for some huge money. They signed a lease for 3 months that was close to double what a 12 month lease term was. That should boost our revenue this quarter by a ton. It’s honestly like having another unit to […]
