I think we all deserve a little fun today. In my new blog, I take a totally non-scientific, non-informative look into what kind of property you are based on your Zoom background. Which are you?

It's been a week... (Month... Year... Won't 2020 end already?)

We're all stressed. A lot of us are still working from home.

While we might be all feeling some virtual meeting fatigue, there are some positives, like seeing people, stripped of their suits and business attire (not literally) and formal office setting, in their natural habitats. It's fascinating to see how people really live! 

When people, especially multifamily professionals are getting on their virtual calls, they often put some thought into what their coworkers and residents are seeing.

We can all use a laugh now. Let's have a fun Friday activity. Did you know you can tell a lot about a person—and what kind of property manager they are—by looking at their Zoom backgrounds?* Let's explore! Which property manager are you?

Bookcase: Bookcases were popular to have in the background during virtual calls for awhile, along with VERY IMPORTANT books, to show that you are a serious person. But, months later, the trend is kind of waning. So if you still have a bookcase in the background, you're probably a by-the-book (ha!) property manager. You give notices and fines when residents don't follow their lease terms. And you're slow to try out new amenities until you can prove the ROI. ("Sure, smart technology sounds good, but why don't we stick with tennis courts for now. People love tennis!")
