::IDEAS PLEASE::: We have a large hospital nearby that has 100s of new employees moving to town. I’m trying to target these newcomers to let them know of our 4 weeks free special and $250 gift card specific for them as a preferred employer special. I’ve reached out to recruiting for the hospital and they’ve not been very interested in assisting. Trying to think of other ways to get the word out to these medical professionals coming from out of... Show more

Katie Rigsby Sell it to recruiting as a benefit of working with their facility. They can use it as a tool to attract new hires but you have to sell it to them that way.
*You might also reach out to current residents who work there and make them "ambassadors".
*Reach out to HR/benefits as well and offer to provide breakfast or lunch in exchange for 10 minutes of speaking time at their next open enrollment meeting. This is a time when benefits are being discussed and you can sell yourself as an added benefit.
*deliver donuts or milkshakes or whatever to a different department each week and leave a flyer. I used to deliver blizzards and they LOVED them!!

I have a resident requesting an accommodation due to disability to be present while scheduled maintenance is performed. She claims it is discrimination if we do not accommodate this. She has been informed that maintenance is scheduled for her building between 9 AM and 12 PM on Thursday but she would like it done earlier while she is home.

Guest Insider The key word is “reasonable.” This sounds like an accommodation that reasonable and should be fulfilled.

If you have package concierge I highly recommend you reach out to your sales rep and request that they turn ON code requirement for delivery drivers. If this feature is not turned on ANYONE can walk up to your Kiosk, say they are a delivery driver, and boom they now have access to essentially your entire rent roll with every residents full name and address. Turning on code requirement means the carriers will have to enter a unique code. It is... Show more

Guest Insider My company offers classpass and I love it. You can do free exercise/yoga classes OR get a massage, your hair done, nails done, etc. They subsidize it so it only costs me like $2/month.
Also, I love that we have a wellness room. Lunchtime naps are amazing to be refreshed for the rest of the day.
Also employee appreciation week was over the top awesome. IT came around in a group and resolved any issues immediately, Bundt cakes, egift certificate I exchanged for an Amazon gift card, lunch away from the office several days, breakfast brought into the office, etc.

Needing to fill a new luxury lease-up!!
Giving one month free. Rents are high. North FL. What’s the most unique and effective thing you’ve done to lease-up??

Guest Insider Know how to sell that you’re the best! Free rent and all the giveaways in the world are not what’s leasing those units! If every staff member understands this then ya got your lease up going in the right direction. A company is better off giving the person that leases the unit a bonus equal to one months rent at move in than to give it to the resident- you’ll gain a life long employee and solid leases!

When hiring a maintenance technician, which of the following traits do you think is the most important?

Guest Insider Now when will the PM industry start realizing that most techs are underpaid and no career path within the industry. What do you expect with the avg range is $18-$21 an hr with no incentive. Bring your own tools, on-call emergency work not properly compensated, no bonus structure for renewal tenancy, no trades/contractor education path.
