I was General Manager of the 220 apartments and 300 storage units. I also took care of a Car Wash. Showing units and taking applications, running criminal background checks and credit checks. I worked with each tenant from the time they filled out the application until the time they moved out. I collected all rent and made all deposits. I also coded and paid all bills and also did payroll. I had a staff of seven I did all move in and all move outs. I also took care of all the leases for the storage units. I was on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Curb appeal is very big to me and my goal is to have clients for life. I wanted them to feel at home.
