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 […]

The property I am at here in Texas was built in 2001. It is getting at that age where everything needs to be fixed and replaced. So they always give the intern the boring job of closing out all these work orders.

This past week our property had several prospects come in for tours that said they were students in the area. All of them said their reason for liking our property was that it was close to their school. This made us think about how we could better target these students […]
