When I was on-site I made a point of having my Service and Cleaning team teach me how they did everything they did, so had the opportunity to turn units from clear out to cleaning to painting and everything in between! We had a lot of fun teaching each other our respective roles, from me learning grounds to them learning leasing tours!

I have cleaned a quick turn, AND I have punched it too, many years ago when I was a Property Manager. While I always had an amazing team, I stepped in and did whatever needed to be done to support them.

Myself and my team have all gone in for a quick turn to clean, I’ve even helped do touch up paint in my office attire. If we can’t get a vendor out as quick as we need we are all hands on deck at my property.

When I was a property manager, I cleaned a few (as best as I could) with my maintenance person - if it was necessary. Absolutely. When you have 100 units with one maintenence person and a part time porter, job titles are a guideline lol

Cleaned one for quick move in when the contract cleaners couldn't make it. Kitty litter everywhere, never thought I would get all of it up! Did many touch ups at the last minute to make the unit shine. Gotta do whatever it takes sometimes.

Me! I jumped in on any job that needed doing when time was tight or other resources weren’t available. I shoveled snow for 2 days after a blizzard when I was a regional manager. That what was needed. Too much snow and not enough staff to clear it out.

We all have roles and primary responsibilities, but we are a team and help each other when necessary even if that means occasionally performing tasks outside our responsibilities. My maintenence guys have helped us prep outreach marketing materials, and regularly help to set up and run resident events.I've helped with grounds, painted, and cleaned (even in heels). I haven't done a maintenence make ready, but members of my office have been trained in it.

Omg. Cleaning? A sparkle bucket in the office is standard. I’ve trashed out apartments! I’m also a class a luxury property manager. Dog throw up in an elevator on a Saturday- cleaned up. Yes we have team members designated for certain responsibilities but at the end of the day we are a team and sometimes we all have to go outside of our scope of designated responsibilities for the whole, the better for the community. It is what it is. Property management- we do it all. (About 2 years ago there was a car on fire at my intersection. I ran and got the office fire extinguisher and put out his whole front end fire before the fire trucks showed up)

Well.... not fully cleaned but when it wasn't cleaned right and somebody was moving in... absolutely. Many times while dressed in a skirt suit, hose and heels.Shoveled snow dressed like that once too. Had no other clothes, the storm was a surprise and it was all hands on deck.

All the time. We will man up and do anything we’re capable of to get the residents moved in

Remembering a time that I had to go back in to an apartment that had to be bombed again for roaches - had to vacuum and clean up all of the dead carcasses on all of the countertops and floors. Super fun! But that place was shining when I left (and, yes, I still remember the resident’s name and apartment number who caused that infestation!)! LOL.

Many times! Also shoveled snow at 6am and 10pm, and chipped away ice in a parking lot at 11pm to find a shut off valve for a flooding apt.

It’s leading by example and also falls under “other duties may apply” in the job description. Cleaning, picking up trash, planting flowers, lockouts, etc., anything I can do to help every person on our team! All in office attire and heels

Ekkkk alot but it's not a good thing. A very wise.mentor told me if you take your hat off, no one else is going to put it on and can or will do your job. Pay someone to do it before you do it. That being said I have done it alot. And it does show your team you are all in and that might be something they need to see you as a leader

Cleared drain lines, changed ac filters, changed batteries, cleaned units, turned them last minute, pressure washed sidewalks, performed pest control, held people’s babies, have been their therapists, etc. You do it all in this industry. It’s customer service. I’m not going to tell a move in “sorry didn’t clean or get the unit ready because it’s not my job”. You get it done no matter what. You figure it out. It’s only going to put a sour taste in their mouth if you don’t at least try to make it the best experience for them. And transparency can go a long way.

We owners/managers jum ped in to get a unit ready for a quick turn...I volunteered to do the toilets. I just had to laugh because the next day I couldn't use my hands/arms!! Every muscle from my elbows down had just given up, lol. Cleaning is not for the meek.

I have pulled carpet, painted, cleaned, help hoist water tanks in attics, corralled snakes, scrubbed pool sides, moved furniture….many many things that “weren’t in my job description”. The truth is to be in this business, is to be a team player. We work collectively for the greater good and I’ve always been willing to chip in, come in early, and stay late. With that being said, I also want to know that my teammates are willing to pull their own weight. If you have someone who is constantly causing more work for others, that’s a problem.

Hello, property manager with 15 years experience. I can’t tell you how many piles of dead roaches I’ve cleaned after a clean out treatment was done. I also help maintenance with cutting keys, rekeying locks, and turn units. Sometimes we do things outside of the scope of our job description to accomplish the mission: quality turns, happy residents, run a profitable business.

Oh how I hate cleaning a vacant unit, but I really get frustrated when we can't rent a unit on short notice because it has not been made ready yet. Yes, I have cleaned and painted units, even though turning apartments was not my job function.
