On Wednesday, I drove away for the last time. I will never be able to describe the emotional connection and passion I had for this job or the property itself. I saw the vision that Lauren Thompson Crews had. A lot of people thought turning a 1930s hospital into apartments was crazy. Who would want to live there? I am so happy that I was given the opportunity to create community inside these gates. Being a property manager is so much more than rent rolls, NOIs, late notices, and lease violations if you let it be.
To my residents: It has been a joy being the one that greeted you at the gate as a prospect, witnessed the reactions as you chose your new home, and handed you the keys at move in. I have had the honor of meeting your extended families, new puppies, and best friends. I have been one of the first to learn about engagements, pregnancies, new home purchases, promotions, and passing graduate exams. I was touched to be the ride home from a doctor’s appointment when you did not have one or to sit with your ailing pet. Thank you all for letting me be a little part of your lives.
To all the vendors I have connected with: Thank you for your patience when I was panicking. Thank you for coming on short notice. Thank you for taking me up in your lift to personally show me the problem. Thank you for teaching me a little something about construction, plumbing, hvac, gutters, bugs, or trees at each visit.
