Work with a Variety of People

Whether you work in leasing, maintenance, or concierge, you’ll work with supervisors, subordinates, tenants, clients, contractors, vendors and the public in general. Therefore, it’s important you exhibit excellent people skills. In one of these positions, you could be responsible for negotiating contracts, resolving conflicts, persuading the owner to make improvements to the property and other tasks. As a result, you need to show professionalism and strong customer service skills at all times. By working with a variety of people, you will never know who you run into that could have an effect on your career or future business with the property. A mistaken comment at the wrong time could lead to a resident leaving your building or a poor referral down the line for a potential resident looking for an apartment.

Develop Soft Skills

When working with a multitude of people in a wide range of roles, it’s important you communicate clearly and maintain a professional attitude at all times. Stay positive, form relationships with tenants and clients and treat everyone impartially. Be dependable, flexible, patient, and friendly yet firm. Stay organized so you remain focused and accomplish your biggest priorities first. Resolve issues as they occur to minimize their impact.  As you develop professionally, so will these skills. One part of your skills that takes time to develop is the ability to relate to different personalities. Some people may love small talk (“How was your weekend?”) while other people just want a simple “Hello” and go about their day. Learning the different personalities will be appreciated by everyone you encounter to keep them comfortable.
