I worked on this previous Saturday and we ran into a hot water emergency. I had to connect with the on-call maintenance member and illustrate the problem with him. It took a while to convey the whole situation but he responded very promptly. We had the emergency handled in no […]

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 […]

This last week was our Weidner Cares event.  All of the offices were closed this day so we could go to the local Boys and Girls Club and do community service.  We transformed their club by painting walls, staining decks, power washing, and doing some serious landscaping.  This type of […]

Today, I’m back at the home office because there is a project that I was set to work on. I got in this morning and it turns out that the project is to make copies to send to electric and water companies for the release of billing information for residents. […]

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 […]

Two weekends ago the leasing consultant at my property quit unexpectedly. This has left our property without a leasing consultant for the past two weeks. At first, we missed his presence as he was a major part of our daily operations, but now we have embraced and are excited for […]

Ever sense I landed in Texas I have been working on a file audit at the property I am staying at. A file audit consists of looking through every file to make sure the rent price in the file is matching the rent we have in our online property management system.

This is my last week at my first property with Bigos property management. We get to work at two different properties during our internship. Anyways, I’m at my first site and for my last week the property manager is actually out of the office on “vacation”. This is the only […]
