WORK EXPERIENCE:
HOME PROPERTIES: (2/08 – Present)
Bayview Apartments: (A Home Properties Apartment Complex)
I was promoted to Service Manager of Bayview Apartments by the Home Properties Regional Manager in
November of 2008.
My position as Service Manager requires me to excel in multiple tasks and responsibilities. I oversee all the daily
maintenance on my property which includes: grounds,work orders, renovations of apartments, ordering of
supplies/inventory,scheduling contractors,and managing service technicians. I am responsible for writing and
executing yearly budgets,this includes capital improvement projects and the expense side of maintenance. I am in
charge of bidding out to all sub-contractors,reviewing/negotiating estimates and writing contracts/change orders.
Invoices and expenses are reviewed, coded, and signed off by me. I oversee all apartment renovations including: new
kitchens, bathrooms, carpet/flooring, appliances, lighting etc... All packages are completed in ten business days or
less, while also having major capital improvement projects going on consecutively.
All snow removal has been performed in-house which includes: plowing of all lots, removal from sidewalks/stoops
and spreading of calciumchloride on walks/stoops and salt/sand on our parking lots. These measures/precautions help
keep our residents and team members free from incidents such as slips/trips or falls.
Safety is a Primary focus of mine on a daily basis! Each morning I lead our safety briefing, going over the day’s
activities and the safety risks/control measures we must take to ensure the health and safety of all our staff/residents.
This past year I was recognized, nominated and won once again my regions “Health and Safety Excellence Award.”
This was accomplished by taking the initiative and constructing/implementing a very strong Health and Safety
Program specifically for my site/team. This resulted in us having an incident/accident free year.
