Whether it's staging units or working with the service team to ensure the sprinkler is watering foliage and not the walkway, your customer service attention ensures that the property is in showcase condition. Combining the best of inside sales and outside sales, you engage with prospective residents by greeting them face to face, responding to on-line and phone inquiries or showing units.
