Does this sound like you?

You are a driven professional with a warm, friendly approach who likes dealing with people all day.

You know you are a self-starter because you prefer to “own” your job rather than having someone micromanage your daily tasks, and you are responsive, organized, and have strong attention to detail. Without being prompted, you recognize the goals are to maximize asset value, resident satisfaction, and revenue, and you enjoy doing your part to conquer them. Additionally, you are tech-savvy and use software applications that are available to you. 

You have the ability to interact with a wide variety of people, demonstrate empathy and patience, and enjoy delivering a concierge level of customer service - time and time again. You have strong verbal and written communication skills, understand the importance of discretion, have sound judgment, and have a reputation for being honest and transparent. 

Finally, you’re a team player who is happy to be helpful and is always willing to roll up your sleeves to help a co-worker.
