Even when i get asked about being the owner i refer them to "well "(insert company)" owns the home" so they don't later on bottle neck me with resident questions or work. although i do find it true to have a longer retention rate when the resident has a small family owned business they are renting from rather than a huge corporate company.cheers,

No flushing feminine products, baby wipes, make-up removal pads, paper towels or even Charmin.

Interviews are critical, we pay a lot of attention to soft factors, like how people are put together, how they communicate etc, but also use smartmove dot com for a hard background check.
