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 […]

As my internship goes on, I try to pay attention to the little things my community director does that may make a big difference. Residents notice these things and they will be much happier with their home when they feel comfortable with where they are living. The other day the […]

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 […]

I learned today that even after posting numerous pieces of papers to residents door, explaining the rules while they broke them, and putting up an official pool rule board that it won’t stop the rules from being broken. At the end of the day, the residents are at “home” and […]

For the past couple of weeks, the office staff at my property has been going out in the morning with our maintenance supervisor and cleaning up the grounds. This includes picking up any trash that we see, even down to every cigarette that is on the ground, or tiny pieces […]

Yesterday our regional director, Tony, asked if I could help out at the resident event for 222 Hennepin in Minneapolis. 222 is having some issues with resident complaints because their rooftop pool has been under construction all summer. To help make up for this, they are hosting “happy hour” every […]
