FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
14 consecutive years of experience as a resident building manager.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
14 years ago, as a regular tenant, before I became resident manager of the building, the property owner and I got along well. He asked if I would like a reduction in rent if I would show vacancies. After a couple of years of providing the service, I was asked if I wanted to manage. I gladly accepted the opportunity. After 12 years on the job, the building was sold to a developer who needed to demolish the building. All we tenants had to relocate. I relocated to the position of resident manager of a 60-unit building in the 90046 area.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
When it comes to showing vacancies I have been fortunate to have recommended good tenancy choices to the property owner. It has something to do with feeling out a person's character and following up by researching their histories. I have always worked well with vendors, such as plumbers, electricians, painters, etc. Though I do attempt to solve repair problems before calling for professional help.
