I love what I do, I take pride in the work I do & I enjoy learning  every aspect of the job so I have the capability to handle anything that should arise.

Objective:

        To find a company/owner that will allow me to use the skills I’ve learned throughout the years to manage the property to the standards set forth by the ownership. I will put forth 100% while on the job as long as I am allowed to devote my time off to my family barring emergencies and/or appointments with prospective tenants and buyers when necessary on weekends. I am honest, forthright, and have pride in the job I do and I expect the same from my fellow employees. We are representatives of the people we work for and must present ourselves as such at all times.

Request:

        I have been in your shoes before and all I ask is that you do not overlook my application because I have “too much” experience. I realize I am starting fresh with a new company and there will be many things I do not know and must learn. I am very professional, able to multi task , and self-motivated.

Qualifications:

        I have spent close to 13 years in one form of property management or another most of it within the manufactured home community business. Nine of those years were with the same company. I hired in as an Asst. Manager and moved my way up to District Manager within 8 years.

My responsibilities as an Assistant Manager and Manager included but were not limited to:

Recording all petty cash transactions using receipts and paperwork to explain the expenditures

Collecting and depositing rent

Keeping organized tenant files of all issues and transactions with each tenant

Interviewing potential tenants and employees

Running credit and background checks

Handling all paperwork pertaining to the leasing of the property

Handled all evictions in Georgia with the exception of those special cases requiring an Attorney

All billing and bookkeeping for my property

All tenant related issues went through me, and I then involved upper management as necessary

Personally dealt with the banks on all repossessions and abandoned homes within my community.  I maintained a collection ratio of 50 -100% of rent due on the abandoned homes. If the houses were in good shape I also negotiated and purchased abandoned homes in my community and around the area for pennies on the dollar.
 

My responsibilities as a District Manager included but were not limited to:

Supervising the management at my communities and making sure the work they did was to the standards of the company

Making sure the communities remained profitable

I inspected other properties for comparison reports as well as for possible addition to my company’s portfolio

I was partially responsible for helping to plan, develop, and cut through city and county red tape in order to build a 185 lot expansion next door to our existing community
