Re: COVER LETTER

I am pleased to submit this letter of interest to explore career opportunities within your organization. With eighteen (18) years’ experience in private/public real estate, development, and planning, the enclosed resume will furnish you with information pertinent to my employment history and educational background.

My responsibilities in planning, real estate and development as you will note, have been quite extensive and include entitlement and land use planning, site selection and acquisition and construction contract management, including property management and leasing. I am a licensed Real Estate Broker with value added skills in varied areas of asset management, land assembly, acquisitions and dispositions of real estate.

As Development Manager, accomplishments include, but not limited to, complete property management function (including portfolio/asset management of over 111 properties), project management function (including budgeting, value engineering, procurement) for redevelopment and capital improvement projects, writing proposals, bidding, managing consultant contract, as well as, handling all aspects of the agency’s real estate and property acquisition and assembly program. Negotiated agency’s sale and purchase, ground lease management and construction agreements and presentation to CRA board for approval. Implemented process and procedures and managed agency’s second mortgage program associated with various grant incentive programs. Also, procured grants through the Regional MPO for streetscape beautification projects. The position involves extensive contact with the development and business community, City staff and government officials, various other agencies, citizen groups, advisory boards and others.

I realize that a resume cannot take the place of a personal interview and would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss current and potential openings where my knowledge and abilities would be mutually beneficial.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Vincent A. Wooten
