Here we go! Let’s not rant but this topic always gets people amped-up! My opinion, if I text you at 10p and ask for a budget re-forecast for six props - of course I don’t expect you to re-forecast the budget at 10p. But I do expect a “got it, let’s talk in the AM - good night”. If I send a text at 10p and ask to if you’re available to meet for coffee in the AM, pretty benign I’d say. With that said, some employers are just irrational, psychotic...Here we go! Let’s not rant but this topic always gets people amped-up!

Friends - I need your expertise. ‼️ Is it onsite or on-site when referring to property management? Hyphen or no hyphen? 🚨 Merriam Webster says on-site should be hyphenated. The Cambridge dictionary includes onsite (without the hyphen) and on-site (hyphenated), while the American Heritage dictionary only lists onsite (no hyphen).

One of the biggest benefits of apartment living is maintaining a resident's apartment. Residents don't have to try to find a contractor, don't have to wade through reviews, don't have to price shop, and don't even have to alter their schedule to be there while their problem is fixed. But do we do a great job of showcasing that value beyond saying, "we provide maintenance"? Tony Sousa recently wrote, "Maintenance is your ...

1. No one is taking advantage of SMS after inquiry. I was called many times but not texted once. And very few have an opt-in to text on the inquiry page. With text being the #1 method of communication, this was unusual.2. No one is taking advantage of email automation. Send the text confirmation and then follow up with a more robust email. Email is the perfect place to push the differentiators and include content. Let them know through email. 3. ...

Pets not only are present in designated pet areas—they'll also regularly traverse a property's other outdoor spaces and common areas. Naturally, they also spend many hours within the apartment home in which ...
I am a hustler, I can adapt to change and I’m very responsive to texts, but I turn off text notifications in the later evening in order to better manage and separate my professional & personal life . If I don’t get hired because of it, then good luck to the next available candidate .
Me personally, I use focus tracks on the iPhone. After 6pm any text or email notifications from EVERYONE work related is automatically silenced! Phone calls will come through for a few key people but otherwise, work notifications are completely silenced from 6pm to 8am! I’ve used it for years, I talk about it in interviews, and if any employer has an issue with it- I don’t move forward with the interview process! It’s plain and simple - work life balance!
Our property and maintenance managers do have company phones and are expected to pick up calls, not texts
