We have our new residents come to our office to pick up their keys, when they do that they will recieve a welcome home gift basket, its our branded logo bag, with 2 waterbottles, a roll of paper towels, toilet paper , and a few other things that you can actually buy at the $1 dollar store, We do this for 2 reasons, number one is to let them know where our offics is and to humanize us as people and not just a company, this simple gift goes a long way to setting the right tone with the client we feel, but most importantly we go over our lease and our rules of operation and what we expect of them as tenants in our properties.
