  First Realty Management

  • Wells Court, Brewster, MA

  • Property Manager

    • 2014 - 2014
    • Wells Court, Brewster, MA

    I oversaw the management company change for Wells Court from HallKeen to First Realty Management. I automated a number of procedures from when I arrived at Wells Court in 2010. With the new management company the voucher system software was changed over to Real Page. I handled day to day operations involving support with the residents and I was an integral part of the REAC inspection that is required on all HUD properties every three years. I oversaw the maintenance repairs and updating as well as compiled the information for the inspector regarding permits and inspections of all the systems on the premises. The property received a score of 95% which is above average in the world of REAC inspections. I also worked closely each year with an outside firm for the yearly audits on the property. Each year it is a requirement that the annual budget be set. I compiled numbers and analyzed data to project what the property would need in the way of finances for the coming year, each and every year. I was able to save the property in excess of $5,000 due to my negotiating skills with the outside vendors. Finally, I gave two months notice and referred and trained the person who replaced me. I made sure the property was maintained in regards to a smooth transition to the new property manager. All the while I maintained my real estate practice and summer rental business.

  • Executive Recruiter

    • 1995 - 1997
    • Oakbrook, IL

    I was retained by professional firms such as Ameritech,to find highly skilled and educated individuals for various jobs within the telecommunications industry. I used a variety of techniques to secure clients and find qualified candidates for the assigned search. This includes networking with professional organizations, cold calling and advertising.I made calls to associates to ask for potential referrals.Potential candidates were screened by me before they were presented to the client. Most often this was done via a resume review along with a telephone interview. After finding several strong candidates, I would then send the candidates' credentials to the client. Upon the client's request, I would schedule a first interview. Often, this was a phone interview, and if the client was interested, a face-to-face meeting would be scheduled.Finally, I would act as a liaison between the potential employee and employer. Often, I had to overcome objections from either or both parties. This might involve working with both to come to an agreement concerning issues such as salary or benefits.
